United have been so poor, pathetic in fact. It's not good enough.
I can't see the pattern of play, I can't see the direction. Where's this Manchester United team going under Jose Mourinho?
Jose, you pick the players, you put them on the pitch to perform for your football club and they've not done it once again. They're not going to win the Champions League, they're not going to get in the top four. Where are they going?

United are 11 points shy of the top four as it stands - insurmountable?

Liverpool 3-1 Man Utd
The post mortem starts now. A bleak afternoon for Manchester United, or have they got what they deserved? Jose Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea three years ago, almost to the day. It was 17 December, 2015 in fact...

Jose Mourinho has sat down on the bench. It feels like an admission of defeat from the Manchester United manager. He knows he will have a lot of questions to answer after this defeat.

It's well deserved. It could be more. It should be more.
Each and every one of these United players should have a good, hard look at themselves when they get off the pitch.
Have you done enough today? Have you done enough all season?
It's absolutely embarrassing. Let's get it right. You've got the Manchester United shirt on and you're giving the ball away, not blocking shots. Liverpool are brilliant and dynamic. Everything that United used to be, Liverpool are now.

lfcway: Shaqiri!! Boom! What an impact. Game over. Man Utd so poor.
Liverpool 3-1 Man Utd
There's ambitious, and there's the Snake River Canyon jump. And then there's Marouane Fellaini trying to hit a volley on the run from about 30 yards out. He hits a steward by the corner flag.
Juan Mata does get on for Jesse Lingard.
Liverpool 3-1 Man Utd
Gini Wijnaldum has a shot saved by David de Gea as Juan Mata is told to strip off. A hospital pass if ever there was one.
Sadio Mane is replaced by Jordan Henderson.
Xherdan Shaqiri (80 mins)
Well, whoever said it, Xherdan Shaqiri must subscribe to the philosophy! Another deflected goal puts Liverpool on track for the three points.
Good play from Roberto Firmino to tee up the Swiss, his shot was powerful but probably heading straight to David de Gea until it comes off the toes of Eric Bailly and flies right into the side-netting.
Game over?

Wrong legend of US sport! Apologies...
Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd
Liverpool would be top of the league if it stays like this. They need a third goal at least though, surely?
United send on Anthony Martial for Ander Herrera.

What can you say about Manchester United? In the middle of the park they're non-existent, there's nothing - there's no creativity, no bite, no tenacity.
What must Paul Pogba be thinking on the bench?

Anfield was subdued until that second goal, now the Liverpool fans have found their voices. There was so much tension around this famous, old stadium before Shaqiri’s shot went in.
Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd
Anfield is rocking now, ringing out to their European anthem. Paul Pogba and Juan Mata are picked out by the cameras, absolutely drenched.
Gini Wijnaldum and Jesse Lingard exchange long-range shots. Both never going in.
