General Premier League Thread 2022-23 - mod note in OP 12/03/23

Final result from today - Liverpool 7 Manchester United 0.

Aggregate score - Liverpool 8 Manchester United 2.

Liverpool proved that klopps mentality monsters are still inside them.

United prove they're still Ole's outcasts.

Just spotted entering the United dressing room with a baseball bat, apparently.

Joint heaviest defeat ever. The other 3 or 4 were back in the long ago when stuff like this was more common.

I'm neutral but I can't wait for the podcasts tomorrow. It's gonna be some laugh.

Fair play to Liverpool. Sensed blood and demolished United.

United were woeful. Liverpool played brilliantly and everything fell their way. Days like this happen sometimes. At the end of the day it's just one loss, Utd will move on and its more about the reaction to the game than the game itself for Utd now. Fergie suffered plenty of hammerings and went on to have successful seasons.

Enjoy the week ahead Liverpool fans

Well that was embarrassing.

After the last few weeks of the media telling us how great utd were again, headlines tomorrow will be "crisis at Old Trafford ".

Normal service has resumed one could say. Liverpool have been far below tier normal standard for the season while United have probably enjoyed being held in a higher regard than they deserve due to the drop in standards from their rivals.

Losing at Anfied is never a terrible thing given how difficult a ground it is but if I was a United fan I'd be furious at the how the players responded when they went 2-0, and especially 3-0, down. They just gave up.

Well that was an afternoon to warm the heart. Always good to see Mancs losing. Beer in hand with a big smile.

I’m not a pool fan, it’s just great to see the Mancs beaten, and so comprehensively makes it even better.

Agreed, I don't get this working miracles idea. In fairness, it's a narrative the media have pushed heavily, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Look at the teams United are ahead of in the league: Spurs, Liverpool, Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton, Brentford, Chelsea. Only team that might be considered a surprise, certainly based on today, is Liverpool. Ten Hag won a cup beating Charlton, Forest and Newcastle on the way. Hardly a miracle. Closest thing to a miracle result was knocking out Barca but they were without Pedri and Gavi who were huge losses for them and it was a close tie. He's been a big improvement on Solskjaer and Ragnick but you'd expect that from a competent coach that has been successful elsewhere. The Solskjaer era has left most United fans gagging for success to the point where even the standards from the LVG and Mourinho eras seem a distant memory.

Christ Souness is miserable. Just wants to stick the boot in instead of enjoying the win.

I can’t stand Neville and seeing him squirm is sweet but I still think Souness comes across as angry and bitter. He could have done it more lightheartedly imo.
