Stuaff......Utd got well and truly beaten. Only 2-0 but it could/should have been a lot more, which is a problem LFC have. With 'potentially' the best front three in the prem we dont finish teams off like we should. Ok, we put 4 past Leicester but mostly its just 1.
As a life long LFC fan I confess I used to enjoy watching Utd over the years.......from the Dennis Law/George Best days to the Giggs/Becham/Scholls era.......but they have a massive rebuilding job to do now.
Well, there were two disallowed goals- the Firmino one should have stood. Agreed that they should be making the scorelines a bit more flattering, but the three points are the main thing. Given the match schedule they've had to deal with, hardly surprising they're just getting the job done…
Utd could take five or six seasons to get that rebuilding done, even if they started getting the right people in now…and they haven't. The recruiting department were apparently rather annoyed at unfavourable comparisons with LFC (they looked at a lot of players before going for Wan-Bissaka), but when the higher-ups are so seemingly hopeless at spending in the right areas, their efforts are somewhat wasted. £850m spent in seven years. Huge wage bill. And now, effectively, a mid-table side. Danny Murphy picked his dream LFC & MU teams, plus subs, from the PL era in his column at the weekend. LFC: seven of the current team in the eleven (Gerrard, Alonso, Carragher and Suarez the exceptions). MU: De Gea and Rashford in the subs. Wouldn't argue with that. Until and unless they get someone like Mike Gordon at the top, getting the right people in, giving them the resources, and letting them get on with it, nothing will change.
