    Yes IMO. It wasn't out of control, just reckless IMO.

    Liverpool’s luck in the last few games is ridiculous!

    They deserve to win but seriously, scummy, scummy goals.

    Sure but when you are 33-5 up in shots, that's going to happen sometimes, even if they are not that great.

    Liverpool are doing well at the moment, so not a big surprise that United losing....but what excuse is there for Mourinho to do so poorly in so many games with the expensive players that he has. I'd really like to see these so called 'great managers' work with poorer sides.

    Henderson got a shot right at the end to make it 36-6, so all 13 outfield Liverpool players had a shot. Mourinho in.

    Yep I think there should be a 'bush tucker trial' where the top six managers have to manage the bottom 6 for 5 games. That would be interesting.


    PS: I know this would never work etc, just a "I wonder what" :)

    Mourihno used to be a fantastic manager - but I have no idea what he’s trying to do with this United side.

    They look abysmal, his tactics are basically the same as Mark Hughes’s?

    He's done a Wenger basically and is unable to adapt with the times. Football is all about high energy now and his teams aren't set up to play that eayway.

    Hopefully when they sack him and employ Poch, Spurs don’t....y’know...do what they normally do. No, not even going to think it.

    I wonder if Poch would leave mid season.

    In a way I'd rather it now as then all the top 7 have a manager not likely to go anywhere...

    Very true. And they wouldn’t want to poach our new hero just yet!

    They'll do that thing but to Bournemouth instead of us.

    Be great now if Mourihno went and pooh came in. I reckon spurs would want Eddie Howe and unsettle Bournemouth. Be nice for South Coast parity to settle down.

    Spurs can take Howe. Chelsea can take Wilson. Arsenal can take Ake. Everyone can turn their noses up at Simon Francis.

    Four rounds of Xmas fixtures:

    Arsenal v Burnley
    Huddersfield v Saints
    Man City v Palace
    Newcastle v Fulham
    Cardiff v Man Utd

    Fulham v Wolves
    Burnley v Everton
    Palace v Cardiff
    Liverpool v Newcastle
    Man Utd v Huddersfield
    Saints v West Ham

    Fulham v Huddersfield
    Leicester v Cardiff
    Watford v Newcastle
    Palace v Chelsea
    Burnley v West Ham
    Saints v Man City

    Arsenal v Fulham
    Cardiff v Spurs
    Chelsea v Saints
    Huddersfield v Burnley
    Wolves v Palace
    Newcastle v Man Utd

    If the real Man Utd want to wake up, that would be greatly appreciated. Such an opportunity for us next weekend, given those fixtures.

    Ultimately though, winnable games for all seven of us across these four rounds.

    We've now got double the numbers of points at home, than away. Such is our poor away form. Please put that right next weekend, Saints.

    And we've still only been behind for two minutes at home this season, other than the Chelsea game.
