Souness absolutely and mercilessly rubbing Gary Nevilles and Roy Keanes nose in it!

To be fair.. Roy just kept his trap shut but Neville had a huge book of excuses..

Neville basically arguing that United supposedly being the better team for 15 minutes in the 1st half means Liverpool didn't play well.
Reminds me of when United 'won the first 8 minutes' in the 2009 Champions LG final. |

By:
had to laugh at Keane trying to make himself look big saying thank God he's never been in a defeat as big as that, maybe not 7 but he was not only in the team that got battered 6-3 by Southampton but he let them down by being sent off, and he bangs on about character and leaders, he was always letting United down with his temper

By:
To be fair to Gary Neville ... he does have a point about it being a bit of a freak result.. Just like Liverpool conceding 7 at Villa park a couple of years ago
Having said that, the Wolves fans were right about him the other night at Fulham |

In the olden days of the vidiprinter, you had to spell out 7 - (seven) for clarity...

By:
Manure fans will be burning Bruno shirts at midnight when they see the yellow, lily-livered quisling shrugging his shoulders because he's not being hooked off in a bid to go and hide under his tin hat before the whistle went.
WAC |

The Glazers have tonight asked bidders for the club to increase their offers after the club sign a huge commercial deal with Paxo.

Bruno Fernandes today was an Hall of Shame performance. I struggle to think of many worse.
Martinez has been rubbish since the WC as well. Antony utterly awful |
|
By:
They wouldn't have done any worse had Harry Maguire been on the pitch , least he's got more guts and leadership than the odious Fernandez. What a piece s*** he is.

Hmm..
I see the Yanitit foriegn contingent, notably Bruno getting it in the neck here. His somewhat petulant (by anglo saxon standards) response is probably a latin thing. I suppose at least he showed he cares. In his own way. No, my main take away from this game it that MUFC Liv is no longer the fixture it once thought it was. Or at least what Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson thought it to be. Back in the day, Fergus took his scottish champions Aberdeen to Liv in the Euro Cup. Along with a 5 goal aggregate drubbing he imagined he got short shrift off the fabled Anfield bootroom. Thus was born the loathing for the red half of liverpool which SAF kept thru his managerial career. Fergusons arrival at MUFC in 1986 was to precipitate in his own mind the liver bird being knocked off its perch. Tho in truth it was more likely that George Graham and the Arsenal sowed the seeds of the merseyside decline in 1989. Throughout Uniteds glorious early years of epl triumphs Fergus was always keen to keep the foot on the throat of the red lot on the other side of the M62. There were occasional doings at the hands of Newcastle, Chelsea...err.. Southampton, even Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. But the record at Anfield was spectacular. Something like ten wins in twenty with a couple of draws. I recall in 2007 the annual pilgrimage to Anfield was sandwiched in between a CHampions League semi with Milan. 2 legs. There was not much in the way of rotation. So after Utd had eked out a Rorkes drift of a one nil in merseyside there came a somewhat inevitable 3-0 collapse in Italy at the hands of Clarence Seedorf. SAF years later would reflect on his rather modest collection of 2 european cups. Still, the point being that the Utd Liv fixtures WERE the most important dates on the calendar. But now... Well you cant really live by the feud these days can you? Try to impress on a bunch of multi millionaires the importance of beating one club... a club who are not even your local rivals, a club who whilst pretty good are not even the current benchmark for football excellence. Well its not going to happen. Utd manager Eric Ten Hag spoke earlier in the week that Liv and City are just other places where his team go to play football. That kind of talk is anathema to the likes of Keane and Neville. But modern football is a different game. Pundits are criticising United defending, no doubt like they were when Madrid did Liv 5 couple of weeks back. But no one sets up their team to defend anymore. You cant. VAR will crucify you. You go out to attack, you win or you lose. No one draws anymore. 13 minutes of injury time will always ensure a winner. And thats another thing for which we can thank Fergus. One of his main gripes was referees not adding on enough time. Wether United under Ten Hag will continue on their upward trajectory after the 7 nil, who knows? Managers like Mourinho have used drubbings in the past to create a siege mentality and a 'this will not happen again' attitude. His first year at Madrid they got done 5 by Barca. The year after they won La Liga. Think they won at the Nou Camp if memory serves. So here we are. Ten Hag will move on. Issue a few rollockings, work out who is a contender and who is a pretender in a United shirt. Learn his lessons and go again. Or maybe he will go the same ways as Van Gaal, Jose and Ole. After all he is the man who managed to lose a three goal lead against Spurs in the Euro CUp semi final. But I doubt he will be any more upset about losing 7 to liv as he was on that night when we longballed his Ajax side out of what would have been a deserved champions league success.. |
