I knew this would happen. If I'm honest, I thought we would beat United. However, I was well prepared for a defeat. They have been imperious at Old Trafford. They have the best defensive record in the League and CL at home. I was hoping they'd park the bus and we'd knick it 1-0. Unfortunately, they scored 2 good goals against the run of play courtesy of one of the best young players in Europe.

Get over yourselves. We just lost a game away from home against Man United and we're all absolutely gutted because we know we are a better team. Doesn't that show how far we've come? I knew this level of hissy fit and temper tantrum was on it's way if we lost because all week people have been saying we'd blow them away, or destroy them, or words to that effect. People were acting as if they were a pushover, or an inconvenience.

In reality, the home team in a top 6 clash is always the favourite. Do you remember when we beat Man City at Anfield despite the fact they're clearly a better team than we are? I do. Pep congratulated us and I saw lots of Man City fans online congratulating us for how well we played. They accepted defeat with class and didn't start slaughtering Ederson or Stones for playing poorly.

Grow up for God sake. That is our 4th defeat in 30 league games this season. Aside from the Swansea blip our only losses have all been away from home against Spurs, City and United. The three teams who I will guarantee will join us in the top 4 this season. Arnold is a very young man. He'll learn. For Christ's sake don't make him afraid if making mistakes or He'll never develop.

Some of you lot don't deserve Liverpool when you behave like this. This is total over reaction because we lost against the run of play away from home to one of the most effective and brutally efficient teams in Europe. It is not the end of the world.

I still fancy us to take 2nd. Our form is still great, defeat at Old Trafford isn’t exactly catastrophic, it’s what happens to most teams in a season.

Exactly Mikey. Nice to see some perspective.

Haven't read the whiny comments but I'm sure they're there.

Gutted we lost like that to be honest but it's football, just didn't do ourselves justice plus all the other usual excuses.

I'm sure the whiners never make errors, there's a reset button on Fifa on Xbox and PlayStation I'm sure so how could they?!

If the whiners are as bad as you're suggesting then you're right, they don't deserve LFC, we certainly don't deserve them.

Yes, mistakes were made and sorry to break it to the whinge bags, mistakes will happen for the rest of your lives - now the quicker you get that past your tear filled eyes and into your brains the easier and better your life may become.

MK, maybe it’s not the defeat, maybe it’s the manner of the defeat that has annoyed people. Maybe the fans expected all our players to put in a proper shift and that’s why people are annoyed.

Well said MK. We all probably dislike Man Utd more than any other side on the planet. That's why a loss to them is hard to take. But we were out played in the first half and created little in the second even with loads of possession. We're still quality ladies and gents. We can still nick second and we'll probably meet Utd in CL quarters hopefully for a bit of payback.

Whereas it’s not fair to hang TAA out to dry, he’s a young player playing in a position that isn’t his natural position. It is fair to criticise supposed experienced players such as Lovren, who had another shocker and Milner who has no place playing centre midfield against top opposition and was as poor as he ever was. This is notwithstanding the utter buffoon of a ref who appeared to be working for his free Manchester United season ticket next season instead of the over generous salary he gets from The FA.

How are we better? They are 5pts clear.

Why did we not beat them at Anfield? It’s a typical reaction form you when we loose MK. You were raving of how we would beat them before the game. You said if they played anything like the Palace game we will smash 5 before half time.

A good lesson for you learn! Stop overhyping and underestimating the opposition.
How are we a better team? Care to explain? We have useless midfiled which contribute next to nothing going forward and back! Mark out the front three and we are like Southampton.

Well said Mk, we lost by one goal, should have had a penalty. It was close. I think we will finish 3rd but I don't think 2nd 4th or sadly 5th is out of the question. We need to galvanise and get back to winning.

Mk of course perspective is needed but how can you say the best team lost? They were much better than us. We didn't create one chance all game. De Gea didn't have to make any sort of save. It was so easy for them it was a little embarrassing. There was no point after we scored that we ever looked like we could nick a point.

The reality is we are not as good as you think. We lost to a very average Man U side who are 5 points above us in the league. There fans think they are having an average season but they are still doing better than we are.

The game just shows what most of us already know, we have a long long way to go if we are to challenge for the title. There is every chance we will not even get to the 76 point mark we got to last season. No matter how you dress that up it means no progress in the league has been made.

Cobra, don't be deliberately ignorant. It was obvious I meant I knew this reaction would happen if we lost.

Hendo's Brother, where did I say City were the better team at Anfield? I said "they're" a better team. That is an abbreviation for "they are". I was blatantly saying they ARE a better team in general. Not on the day at Anfield.

Which brings me to my next reply. Markp08, I did not say we were better on the day. United clearly were even if their goals were against the run of play because they executed their game plan and we didn't. I said we "are" a better team, which I firmly believe will be reflected in the table after 38 games. I never said we "were" the better team.

Harry you've just made that all up so I'm not even going to waste my time debating with you when you have falsified quotes entirely. Don't lie. You are better than that.

I apologise in advance if English isn't any of your first languages.

I still love the Kuyt 5 yard hat trick. What a game that was.  

I'm not as confident as you, but i do think we'll beat them! Crystal Palace outplayed them for about 70 minutes yesterday.

MK Scouser"

This was my only reply on the matter before the game to somebody who suggested we'd win big Harry. Clearly implied I did not feel fully confident we'd win, but that I thought we would. It was always going to be tight. Huge difference between predicting a win and feeling confident we'd beat them comfortably.

Against the run of play, stunning.

This page smashed UTD and their incompetency before the match and the only hurdle we had to overcome was DDG. You do realize they did not play both Pogba and Martial!

{Ed033's Note - i reckon if posters from this page formed a team they would smash Manchester United if they didn't play a goal keeper.
