"Is it really only nine months ago that Manchester United were walloped 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford? How quickly things can change."

Peter, Reading: The talk will all be about David De Gea's saves but Wayne Rooney was man of the match for me. Bossed midfield like the Paul Scholes of old.

Tom, Brighton: Easily the better team lost. Plenty of positives to take from the game, just need to start taking a couple of chances and we might have a decent second half of the season!

Noah: Liverpool created good chances but once again the lack of a good replacement for Luis Suarez has shown. Rodgers brought in all the wrong players and the team from last year don't look like they're playing for him anymore.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that today epitomises their season. He stresses that his side made enough chances but couldn't score, and still made defensive errors.

Same old problems? Any signs of progress?

"Brendan Rodgers can't blame anybody but the team today. Rodgers will say how many chances Liverpool created, but they conceded three goals and looked poor defensively again. It's been said it's better to be a lucky manager than a good one. Manchester United gave all those chances away but they are winning football matches. You think next that surely somewhere along the line the team will start to pick up their performances too. But title challengers? Not for me."

Seamus in Warsaw: Conceding three against this Manchester United side is not a problem, not punishing their rubbish defence is a big one! Ask Leicester City?

Howard Horner: De Gea is to Manchester United this season what Luis Suarez was to Liverpool last season. Single-handedly papering over cracks.

Jonjo Hedges: What happened to Dejan Lovren since leaving Southampton? He was fantastic a year ago, now he's just nothing more than awful.

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie: "The fans were brilliant today. Again, they were our 12th man. And again, David (De Gea) was outstanding. He was brilliant - it's not often a team wins 3-0 and the goalkeeper is man of the match.

"I think Michael Carrick made the difference today, he is so confident on the ball. All of the defenders were calm today."

For the avoidance of any doubt, Robin van Persie confirms that he did get a touch on for Juan Mata's second goal. So that rubberstamps the fact that Mata was offside.

"I have to be honest," Van Persie says. "But you can put that down as an assist!"

"Liverpool were by far the better side in the first 20 minutes but the game is about goals. If you take the lead at Old Trafford as the away side then it is a different game. Not taking their chances has cost Liverpool today. There were lots of changes in the line-up, but the result is not good enough. It's a 3-0 defeat. "

Swansea make two changes as Gerhard Tremmel replaces the suspended Lukasz Fabianski in goal, while Neil Taylor returns to the fold after a ban in place of Jazz Richards.

Tottenham make nine changes from their Europa League defeat at Besiktas for their visit to the Liberty Stadium.

Hugo Lloris returns in goal to make his 100th Spurs appearance as only Kyle Walker and Roberto Soldado retain their places.

Swansea XI: Tremmel, Rangel, Bartley, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Ki, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Montero, Bony.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen, Kane, Lamela, Soldado.

Mario Balotelli leaves the field chuntering away to himself. It was a typically manic cameo from Mario today. Missed chances, brilliant efforts, yellow cards and plenty of attitude. Should he have started?

"Liverpool had a lot of their chances at 0-0 and 1-0. Everybody knows goals change games and we can imagine what the headlines tomorrow will be. But anybody who has watched the game will know that Liverpool had a host of chances and played the best they have for a while. Maybe, maybe it is something they can build on. They have to have a regular back four and a goalkeeper. If you keep making defensive changes, every single game, it is impossible to have solidity at the back."

"It's a story of missed chances for Liverpool. Yes they have played well to create those chances, but still in the last 20 minutes of the first half and for spells in this second half, they were very poor defensively. I would not be scared of playing Manchester United either though. They have been poor defensively as well. They are good going forward - I wouldn't say great - but with the players they have they always look like conceding."

David De Gea turns and salutes the crowd. What a display, and six wins in a row for the home side.

THREE MINUTES added on. Blow up now ref, this one's long gone.

Kolo Toure gives away a cheap free-kick. Manchester United replace Phil Jones with Paddy McNair. He wasn't supposed to be back today and he's nearly got through the full 90.

Great save at the other end! Robin van Persie pulls the ball out of the sky with a wonderful touch and loops in a strike which Brad Jones tips over the top. Top stop.

That's why Mario Balotelli shoots on sight! What an effort that is, pinging one just past the top corner from 25 yards. He is all action.

Then David De Gea saves again from Balotelli! Unbeatable.

Craig, South Manchester: David De Gea outstanding today but Ashley Young looks like a new player in that wing-back role. Urgent and tenacious and not a dive in sight.

Andrew: Re: 74 mins, to be fair, you could make an argument Liverpool have been as dominant today as they were in March.

JB: Manchester United six wins on the trot and still not playing well. If they ever truly get into form they could be frightening.

Saved again! David De Gea is an absolute wall. Mario Balotelli drills in a low shot from 10 yards and the Spaniard just flops on it. What a keeper he has turned into.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Old Trafford

"Manchester United fans revelling in their victory now and hard to blame them - Liverpool supporters were in rampant mood when they handed out a 3-0 thrashing here in March. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers may point to missed chances but this is unlikely to cut any ice after a defeat like this."
