What does 7-0 against Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa, Wolves, and Liverpool actually mean?

You’d think this win gives Liverpool title number 20 going by the reaction. Yes it was an appallling 45 minutes but it’s 45 minutes. We move on and have things to achieve
 
It means the opposition scored 7 goals?

This result hurts but this is 100% on the players as a unit, it is not down to ONE single Player, as a Team they bottled it and Liverpool showed they are still a team to be reckoned with. The Problem is Media and Social Media with their agendas and narratives. Football has a habit of throwing these results up sometimes, that is why we love it and love sport.

Easy for me to preach but just watch the game, if you are not there, with the mute button like I do, do not watch the pre match or post match stuff especially Sky, it is all about creating drama that is not there, Football will slowly become like WWE in this country where it is all about the storylines and not what about what happens on the pitch. Media need to do one
 
I started supporting Utd in the mid 80s, even then as a 9/10 year old Liverpool were the top dogs and it meant everything to beat them.

That feeling has never diminished and I doubt it ever will I absolutely despise them and watching that 2nd half yesterday I was in total shock 2 of my brothers who were watching with me walked out in disgust.

I'm a bit older now and I calm down much quicker than I used to but I cannot rationalise we lost 7-0 to them.Im going to the Southampton game next week and at this moment in time I don't know how I'll feel when the players walk out ill probably applaud as usual cos hopefully the shock will have subsided a bit by then.

I've no doubt ETH will sort things out it doesn't feel the same as the 0-5 last year as i never had the confidence Ole could turn it around.Ive no doubt after yesterday he will bin some players in the summer and if he took the armband off Bruno he couldn't have any complaints he was embarrassing yesterday.

I don't think it is the end of the world and we are going to fail at all fronts now but I also do not like completely dismissing this as just a bad day at the office and a meaningless result. It is going to affect our team, it is going to affect the teams that are playing us in the future and it does highlight major weaknesses that we still have. It's a big wake up call and puts a very significant blemish on our season.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Some out there are declaring this as the end of our season, others want to dismiss it as just another bad day at the office. It's neither of those, but it is relevant. We can call this out as worrying, and justifiably so, and also recognise the progress this season.

Doesn't erase the cup win, or the admiration I have for EtH. But it is a significant blot on the history books for this team. Significant success will be needed in the coming years to fully erase the this from memory, or else this will be used as a stick to beat us with without question.

As more to the literal side of the original question, it has a bearing on our GD, and essentially we have one point less now coming into the latter stages of the season. Let's hope it's just numbers on a scoreboard on the last day of the season.

Most sensible post Ive read about this.
It doesnt mean we are now rubbish and I dont think we will crash and burn but its a wake up call that ETH still has a big job to do.
Its almost became a badge of honour on the CAF in the last 2 days to say you not bothered and its only 3 points. To lose 7/0 to your biggest rivals is an absolute disaster whether its the Premier league or your local pub team. If you don't think so, go and watch another sport or come off the valium as your emotions are as dead as Mr Spocks
 
That's really a hard try from you to cope with such humiliation. You're in the denial phase.

Thank God it meant nothing.

Yes thank god for this post. Completely over-reacted after the game. 7-0 against our arch rivals means nothing. If Blackburn beat us 7-0 it's ok they do as well right? Blackburn, Liverpool, Notts County, Dallas Cowboys it's all the same, doesn't matter.

Exactly this.
Bad loss but the positive is that we're doing really well this season with such a limited squad and its Ten Hag's first few months in the job.

I am confident we'll improve with time to challenge for top honors. Fans have to be patient.
 
What does it mean? it's too early to say, probably ultimately not much. It was a shity performance, but we can only judge it by how we react and what happens next.

If it's the kick in the arse that some players need and we go stronger from here finish top 3 and pick up another trophy then it's just a horrendous blip during a very crowded fixture list. One thing it does is highlight our lack of squad depth, we've not been able to rotate and it caught up on us. If it's the start of a bad run of form then it's more consequential.

The most important game is always the next one.
 
The Liverpool thing isn't the problem for me.

The problem is having a team who think it's OK to stop doing their jobs and lose 7-0.

If you want this team to be challenging for leagues and not drifting bsck to being a bunch of useless tw*ts whenever things get a bit tough, then that is a very big issue. It's a bigger issue than a lost 3 points. It's the sort of thing that will make the difference between being a title contender going forwards, and finishing about 10th because a few bad things happened at some point.
 
Football fans, so hypocritical.

We'd be having a field day if we had beaten them by that many. No way we wouldn't bring it up here whenever anyone tries to "rationalize" the result. Klopp would have had his threads bumped (and Pool threads would probably be in the top 2/3) on the football forum and be called a fraud over and over again. So yes, it means quite a lot to most people the manner and score of defeat. No need rationalizing or diminishing what was done to us on Sunday.

I personally don't care though. I turned it off at 5 and haven't bothered to look at the highlights. To me, losing to them is bad simple as, doesn't matter what scoreline it is, but then again, I wouldn't have enjoyed it more if we beat them 7-0 instead of 1-0.
 
Yeah ridiculous post/explanation. It's not that simple is it.
That result gives the scouse from now, and forever, until we beat them with the same humiliating score or more, the right to shove we beat you 7-0 in our face in every time we talk about each other. fecking unbearable. And they will always go on about this until the end of fecking time.
Unless we smash them 8-0 next year which will never happen.
 
What would a 7-0 victory over Liverpool mean? Work that out and then try and imagine the opposite.

Doubt it will ever happen. Closest would be going 2 up in first ten minutes then bringing on an extra centre back to see the game out
 
If we crash out the cups and feck the league up and finish 5th then we can look back at this result as the begging of the downward spiral. If we finish comfortably 3rd and win another cup then it means we had a freak result against our biggest rivals. One that will be in the history books but ultimately just 3 points dropped. Yeah I know, bragging rights and all that but trophies are more important to me.

I'm over it now. I took Monday off work anticipating a hangover, I didn't realise it would be much closer to a total breakdown! Let's make sure we finish at least seven points clear of them and add another trophy. It'll be a great season for us with a couple of blips, it'll still be a pisspoor season for them, irritating to take a starring role in the best 45 minutes of their season, but that's all it should be.
 
I hate Liverpool as much as I love United and appreciate the derby and the value that it has, but I just find it sort of a small club mentality to focus so much on winning the derby like it is our annual cup final. Leave that to Liverpool, we are on to bigger things, and when the season is over and we have secured a CL spot plus 1 or 2 cup titles and Liverpool have won nothing and might have to settle for EL, who does then have the bragging rights.
I also don’t understand why United losing 7-0 to Liverpool away and given the tough schedule that United had been through in the weeks before this game, is seen by the media as much worse than Liverpool going from 2-0 to 2-5 at home against Real Madrid in a game where the goal difference actually matters.

Because this is United vs Liverpool, pretty much the biggest game in English football in general, definitely far bigger than Liverpool vs Madrid whom are barely rivals.

All this is just trying to cope with such result. I thought the 5-0 was bad enough but the fact that they have now defeated us by 5-0 and 7-0 in two seasons back to back is the kind of humiliation we'll never manage to escape from until we humiliate them by a result anywhere close to this.

And yeah, this Liverpool side have won all domestic trophies and CL before this season, so having one poor season while trying to rebuild the team isn't really a big deal, especially if they end up qualifying to top 4 at the end anyway. 3 years ago they had a similar season where they struggled to finish top 4 then ended the next season with 92 points.
 
In the grand scheme of things this result doesn’t mean a lot but the media is having a field day trying to divide the players and the fans and it seems to be working. It could disrupt our season.
But of course next year nobody will speak of this any longer and rightly so.

Neither of these have anything to do with each other. If we had closed the shop and got away with 2-0 or even 3-0 loss it would have been ok, fatigue and all this crap. It would have been a big result but it happens all the time and we were having good results recently.

However we threw away the game, stopped playing, and let them score goals for fun as if we wanted to get humiliated.

Do you understand the rivalry between Liverpool and us?

On anther thread last night where someone else was passing the result off as no big deal , When I asked them about the rivalry they responded that they don't get the tribalism involved in sport and respected Liverpool were almost happy it was them that done it to us rather than another club.

Maybe it is my age but I don't understand a lot of our supporters on here.

They aren't fans of the club.
