Yeah we do. We’re not totally consistent yet due to the depth of the squad and the amount of play time our important players get. There are games where just everything falls against us. It is what it is. Even the Brentford game earlier in the season, just felt like everything went against us. I don’t feel this game was worse than the City game at the Etihad earlier in the season, but the score line says differently.
Post match v Liverpool

Career defining moment for some of these players today. Truly shameful. We could win three Champions Leagues on the spin but it still won't change the fact that we lost seven fecking nil to Liverpool. This game will go down in history.
For the first time in a good while we seemed to have a bit of aura about us as a serious team that was gaining respect. All gone now, just like that.
I've been a United fan since the 70s. This is surely the worst performance I've ever seen.

Has to be up there as one of the worst days as a United fan. Actually, one of the worst days supporting any team.
The measure of this team will be the reaction to it - but this should never be forgotten. EtH should have that scoreboard posted at the entrance to Carrington. A reminder of what happens when you let standards slip on the pitch.

Not just of the premier league era but of all time.
Lifted from google:
“Man United's biggest loss of all time is 7-0. They have suffered a 7-0 defeat on three occasions, to Blackburn Rovers on 10 April 1926, to Aston Villa on 27 December 1930 and Wolves on 26 December 1931. These games all represent Man Utd's biggest ever league defeats.”
Our biggest loss in nearly 100 years. Let that shit sink in.
Luckily it’s only three points, although gd took a hit
They're not going to overturn a 3 goal deficit away at Madrid.
Almost any other club I'd worry they still had a chance, especially at Anfield, but Madrid have a proper winner's mentality.
Some players have put themselves on the transfer list today and have 3 months to save their United careers.
Bending over for harvey Elliott and 2 ageing midfielders.
By far and away the worst performance I've ever seen as a fan

I’m referring to the hype generated by beating Barca and winning the league cup and our general decent run of results since the turn of the year.
It was a complacent, naive and at times borderline arrogant display.
It was a good game, really close, you should find a stream.
Absolutely and given their next 3-4 games, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they don’t win a game for a while either.
Work with a lot of Liverpool supporters , in terms of slagging I can give as good as I get. But what the fcuk can you say after a match like that. Phone is already hopping , many txts/messages from people I would not hear from one end of the year to the other.Beyond embarrassing.
Roy Keane has just said if he was part if a team that surrendered like that he would hide for a month , of course that is not an option for team or supporters.
A lot of the good will built up has been destroyed today.
But ETH is still the best man to take us forward , he will be as seething as any of us and will leave no stone un-turned to right this some day. But the next few days are not going to be easy.

Not many because he was suspended for 3 of them
Next ?
You’re living dangerously on here with all this reasonableness!
I wasn’t too fussed till it was 4 goals (I mean all things considered). Players were clearly shot and we could just chalk it up to fatigue and bounce back quickly.
But a history making loss and our crazy fixture list means that we might just not recover from this.
Will take a lot of effort for Ten Hag to get the players out of this. Some of them have absolutely 0 mettle.

None of this "tiredness" "too many games" nonsense.
7-0 is an utterly disgrace

Enjoyed that.
This should kill off the folks who keep ranting that "we're back" and we can compete for the league. It's a bitter pill to swallow losing like that at Anfield. They were clearly up for it, United were not.
Did I want United to lose 7-0? Of course not. BUT EtH can look at whoever the new owners are in the summer and tell them who he needs and hopefully he gets a few more of the players in he needs. All he'll have to mention is getting embarrassed at Anfield on a Sunday evening while the entire world watched. If the new owners want to correct it, they'll be able to.
Our squad depth is horrendous, it won't just be starters United should be looking for, the bench needs a lot of additions as well.
I'm upset but fair play to them. United needed to come crashing down to Earth. Still competing in two competitions and top 4 still firmly in our grasp though. I'm gutted, but I'll get over it. The team can either fold or keep scrapping until (hopefully) the team and bench get an injection over the summer. We'd have folded under everyone else after SAF. Anxious to see how the season progresses now after this dreadful result.
Genuinely have no idea how EtH goes about fixing it though. Been watching United since 95 and woof...worst half of football I can remember off the top of my head watching from them.

Worst 45 minutes I have ever seen from us. What the feck happened in the dressing room at half time? We did ok first half.
Barely even a flesh wound.
Shambolic. Everyone had an off game, defensive errors all over the place. Hopefully this is just an epic off day and we reset and come back on Thursday.
To think we were quite good in the first half.

I wonder how many extra kilometers ETH needs to run with the boys this time.
If you believe the first part then there's no hope for you, in no way shape or form were we the better side at any point in that match
Honestly expect this to be the start of a shocking run. Many of these are the same players from previous seasons and they will be nervous in the next games.
Liverpool still won't make top 4.
They will lose their next 4 games. (Real - City - Chelsea - Arsenal)

couldn’t, was out. Thankfully…Yea totally agree. With Ferguson it was always keep it tight and win one nil. I think of O Sheas goal in injury time to win it for us years ago.
If Rashford and Bruno bury those chances at 0-0, its a different game entirely.
We're not fecking clinical at all, need countless chances to score.

Epic Caf overreaction incoming...
We had more and better chances than them until they took the lead. They dominated ball and play throughout, though
Indeed. The captain should be an example for the rest, when the captain gives up after 3-0, questions should definitely be pointed that way.
Bruno has been the main culprit recently, but other than him we have had such a rotten attitude since SAF
I have mates who can rarely bring themselves to say anything good about us say that we were decent for 40 minutes. It was a freak scoreline, largely of our own making.
Dissect it. Give them a bollocking. Move on

Players lost their heads but I’m blaming the manager. Laughable how he’s been built up to god-like status for winning an easy league cup and having us in 3rd.
this can never happen. Inability to go for damage limitation at 3/4-0 has given them the best scoreline in their history. Amateurish and unacceptable.

Fatigue. Just watch it and you will see half of our players cannot run anywhere near their top speed; they all seem to be slowing down.
I think they have just run out of fuel and couldn't do much towards the end. Even Casemiro looked completely off it; he had no energy at all to get around.
Fernandes - when was the last time he didn't play? We are just too short on depth to give players a sufficient break and today was a culmination of the built up fatigue. It was always going to have a big bearing on a game, eventually.

Didn't see the game, but the result seems to highlight several things. Firstly we have to be more clinical in our finishing, it seems we had three very good chances. Secondly ETH appears to have tried to play players out of their natural position, which I applaud him for doing, this is how he will find out what will and what will not work, today it patently did not work. Thirdly, it seems that some of our players have hit a bit of a fatigue barrier, both physically and mentally, this is worrying as we potentially could have around 20 games still left this season, and with fatigue can come injuries, so, unfortunately, some are our squad who constantly are being harangued because apparently they are 'rubbish' will be needed. Shaw, Varane, Martinez, Casemiro, Bruno and Rashford will all need resting sometime soon, or we could lose them for much longer with muscle injuries.
Have a good night everyone. I am off for today !
Below par.
That was a lot to swallow. How do you go again after that. All time low for me personally as a red manc utd fan.
Everything they touched went in. The first 3 goals were scored at literally the perfect time for them. In that respect it was just one of those days where everything goes right for one team.
At the same time though, our forward play was absolutely woeful, and our defence literally lost its collective mind in the second half.
Felt like all of those extra games finally caught up with us.

Fair play, you lasted longer than the players
Is it possible to overreact to 7-0 at a field?
