It wasn’t the case for a while, but tonight was a proper show of what we can be and what we have to be from now on.” “We have set a really good standard for ourselves, now it’s just about getting back to that because the fans deserve that and we deserve that. “We’ve had setbacks in the past and we have to come back again because this is what Manchester United is about,” a somber Bruno Fernandes told Sky Sports after the game. Today, that was not the case but I’m pretty sure this team will still do great things together with the fans that I have to appreciate for their support. I think after my first season I was always chasing that record, so to get it today against United with that result is unbelievable. We played top football against the team in form.

They then make the trip to Spain to take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on March 15 at 8pm. Erik ten Hag's team then host Southampton in the Premier League on March 12 at 2pm. We take all the positives apart from the scoreline - that's a bit of a freak." After my first season I was always chasing the record. We don't talk about the scoreline, we just talk about the performance. In the first half, we created the better chances, we had two one-on-ones with the goalkeeper, they didn't. At 3-0, that is the game lost. Salah was the architect of the third goal, making Martinez look foolish on the flank before threading a pass through for Gakpo to finish neatly once more. Ten Hag had punished his players by taking them on a gruelling run after losing 4-0 to Brentford earlier in the season. The third is a counter, so unprofessional, not following in, not tracking back, especially on that one, not tracking back. When Casemiro's header was ruled out for a clear offside, momentum seemed to be with the visitors having ridden the storm and the luck, but Gakpo's intervention changed that. Jurgen Klopp made three changes to the Liverpool team that beat Wolves with Andy Robertson, Jordan Henderson and Cody Gakpo coming in.

Mohamed Salah has now scored 129 league goals to surpass Robbie Fowler as his club's top Premier League scorer.

I am sure he is great to work with and when you have players like that in your dressing room, you have a great chance." "He comes alive in big games, with that pace and energy.

To score two apiece in a game of such magnitude will only help push them on to the next level. His team-mates raced to share the moment with him. Only one Brazilian holding midfielder shone at Anfield and it certainly wasn’t [Casemiro](https://theathletic.com/football/player/casemiro-wQ6Q8xViV8kqizDc/). However, the outpouring of emotion that followed Liverpool’s seventh was cranked up another level. You can see the value of time spent on the training field. They complement each other so well and have provided the kind of leadership and composure that was previously missing. His team were blunt at one end and horribly vulnerable at the other. It also equalled United’s heaviest-ever defeat, sitting alongside their other 7-0 hidings at the hands of We’ve never seen the like before and are unlikely to ever do so again. The word defeat doesn’t begin to do justice to what transpired.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stood on the touchline with a face like thunder as he watched his team fall apart against Liverpool on Sunday.

To beat it today against United with that result is unbelievable. We have other standards, these were not the standards we want to show. “Freak result, top performance. “It was not about one or two players. “Every defeat, no matter what, is worse, especially when you lose at Liverpool. “For the [fans] who stayed, it was tough, and we really have to thank them,” ten Hag added.

Match report: Liverpool 7 United 0 (Manchester United)

A nightmare afternoon for Erik ten Hag's side unfolds in the second half at Anfield.

Ten Hag turned to his bench, namely Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho, to try to find a way back into the game. Minutes later, Liverpool forward Nunez was on target to head home for his side’s fifth of the game, from a Jordan Henderson cross. United came out for the second 45 minutes in need of a goal to get back on level terms. In the lead up to the half-time whistle, Casemiro found the net with a headed effort from a Shaw free-kick, but was rightfully flagged offside after making his way into the area a yard or so too early. With momentum in their favour, Klopp’s side took full advantage as they attacked the Kop end, and just three minutes after adding their second, Gakpo put them three goals to the good. The second of which fell to the in-form Marcus Rashford, who went in search of his first goal at Anfield. Harvey Elliott was the supplier, firing a cross across the face of goal where Nunez headed in uncontested, after we failed to clear our lines. The Netherlands international picked the ball up out wide when Andy Robertson passed inside Fred, before cutting past Raphael Varane and curling it into the corner beyond David De Gea to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead at the break. The first of which fell to this afternoon’s captain Bruno Fernandes, who was found at the back post via a brilliant whipped cross from Diogo Dalot, but the Portuguese couldn’t direct his header into the bottom corner. Fellow Brazilian Alisson was forced to push it behind after seeing it late through a crowded area, but the subsequent corner resulted in nothing for Ten Hag’s men. The hosts had more of the ball in the opening 10 minutes, but the best effort came from United with Antony’s trademark curling effort from the edge of the area. Our no.10 was found through the middle thanks to a sublime Luke Shaw ball, but his first-time shot was tame and Alisson gathered comfortably.

Liverpool 7-0 Man Utd: A call for Carrick over Ten Hag in a ... (Football365.com)

In the main, Man Utd fans are taking their Anfield annihilation on the chin, while Liverpool supporters seem too stunned to really gloat.

Okay, so we didn’t win, thus negating any intent to sacrifice a cup performance for a league one, but in all honesty I think it was just one of those days- for an hour we were all over them and on another day those chances that hit the woodwork seal the points, and, at least we didn’t get spanked 7-0 by our (arguably) biggest rivals in the week in which we also won the least important of all four trophies we could have won. Thirdly, this is a reminder to the boys and Ten Hag that this is the Premier league, United have been winning ugly recently, they should start the next step – winning convincingly. So, various results over the last few days feel like they have helped conflicting thoughts coalesce into a definitive opinion; this week I watched my beloved Spurs bow out of the FA Cup in midweek, a game in which i feel we should have named an unchanged 11 for the sake of momentum if not a shot at the cup, but, I’m not necessarily bothered we didn’t if the aim was to rest our best 11 for Wolves, and thus increase our chances of Champions League football next season. Fast-forward to this game, and I just watched Fernandes pull Salah back by the shirt at the edge of the box (no call), then get pissy when TAA tossed the ball at him after it went out of play. I thought it’d be pretty close and Anfield would rise itself to the occasion, but that United would win. They’ve been really good for the vast majority of the season and we….haven’t. It can be, and for United is often, a horrible place to play,and fair play to their fans for that. That said, well played to Liverpool, outfought us from start to end all over the pitch, and (painfully for 90 minutes) I sensed this United team did not cope with how hard it is to play at Anfield. I feel this was a game that showed that Ten Hag is not a magician and can make mistakes, especially in his first season in a new league. All I can hope is that we fix our mistakes and come back stronger which I believe can happen especially with Ten Hag as he is still the correct man for the job today just showed that he can make mistakes. The first half was not that bad as we grew into the half but conceding before the half completely killed our momentum. But obviously opposing fans and the media will be loving a flashback to before we were good again.
