I see what you are trying to do here but this is literally Rashford after taking the bus.

Nah, he abandoned it, once it was parked ; )

Why the hell hasn't Klopp realised Lovren and TAA are being targeted. Switch VVD and Lovren even, earlier VVD was handling Lukaku. Mourinho switched Lukaku and its 2 - 0.

Seems a basic move.

Lukaku will just move wherever Lovren goes I reckon

What could he have done about either goal? They were two excellent finishes by Rashford.

All over the place for second goal. No issues with the first.

Ordinary man

A performance like this is hopefully a reminder to the Liverpool hierarchy that, despite the recent run of excellent form and performances, that splashing the cash to improve on the likes of Karius is absolutely essential this summer.

flashing the cash guarantees nothing, vvd cost a fortune and was terrible in first goal

Mourinho'd.

Bypass midfield and target TAA and Lovren.

Ox and Can both over Henderson is looking naive to say the least.

I thought spending 75 mill was supposed to improve things. Sick.

Wft are Liverpool at? They are a mess at the back.

Im amazed he started ahead of Hendo (the captain - is he injured?)

Ah Mata! All the time in the world. Utd cutting Liverpool to shreds here.

blueser

Fcuk me, Liverpool's defence are shocking today. That should be 3, and game over (it probably is anyway).

MagicIRL

McTominay is playing exceptionally well.

What do you think he can cover the whole back line, he is yet to lose a header

You're happy with Liverpool taking pot shots from distance against De Gea while United are strolling through the Liverpool defence?

We've had multiple corners, more of the ball. VVD missed a sitter. So yes, happy with everything but the 2 times we've defended poorly.

They weren't opened up.

VVD and Can just decided to ignore Mata.

jeff bingham

I hate Lovren.with a passion

tayto lover

Van Djik has really shored up that defence. They're water tight now.

Paully D

He could have been killed.

No he wasn't. He was not at fault for either goal. Lukaku won two balls and got good flick ons. TAA let Rashford inside him for the first and game him to much space and time for the second one.

Rashford lucky boy

Opinions...

Rashford should have three yellow cards by now so to speak

Today, he just scored two goals.

He's 20 and had played loads up until his recent rest. Do you think it's a better idea to run a 20 year old into the ground this early in his career?

Also going by what's been seen so far that rest has worked wonders.

SlickRic

Another Lovren header from a corner.

Another header over the bar.

SlickRic

Lukaku's shown up again today.

jebidiah

Liverpool's front three barely had a sniff. UTD
are defending very well

Mr.Nice Guy

Satisfactory half. Game not over though. A Liverpool goal and it's very much all to play for. United need another to put it to bed. Lukaku's been a beast aerially.

Tom.D.BJJ

That'll do pig, that'll do

Diabhal Beag

Never seen a team that made relatively good chances look so hopeless to finish any of them. Game over here

theteal

This could be make or break for Arnold. Lets see if he can bounce back in the 2nd half. I hate seeing players bottle blocks by turning their back, he'd want to lose that habit fairly quickly, pretty much scored the goal for Rashford

IamtheWalrus

An early second half goal, Pool heads to drop, finish 4-0.

Come on you reds.

Best attack in the world la

Liam McPoyle

Thus far we've had busses, long balls and route ones mentioned in an effort to downplay Uniteds dominance.

How many more cliches will opposing fans be able to cram into the remainder of the game?

Stay tuned to find out.

When fit Bailly is one of the best in the league. Great composure so far.

Same old Liverpool under Klopp, great foundations built on quicksand.
