We asked you for your reaction to another heavy defeat by Liverpool.
You replied in droves.
Here is a flavour of your responses:
Barry: Liverpool were better than us. Time will tell if we’re heading in the right direction. Remember Jurgen Klopp and Sir Alex Ferguson won nothing until their fourth seasons, so it takes time. To finish in the top four you don’t have to beat Liverpool, but you do need to grind out results when not playing well and this United team seems incapable of doing that.
Lawrence: An absolute disgrace. I have been a United supporter for 63 years in good and bad years but this is an absolute disgrace. People say players are to blame but they’re not the ones picking the team. Erik ten Hag is just not good enough.
Kieran: What are my thoughts? Sorry BBC but I’m going to need a lot more than 350 characters – can I have another six or seven boxes please? Full-backs too far forward too early; one central midfielder has got no legs; the other has got no real experience yet; wide players scared to take anyone on. Bruno Fernandes‘ weak mentally; Joshua Zirkzee dropping deep and offering nothing; no patterns of play…
James: Simply outclassed. Out-muscled in midfield, chances taken by Liverpool and missed by United. No improvement on last season so far. Just hope there will be some improvement as the season progresses. Casemiro is too slow and Marcus Rashford has lost his enthusiasm.
Phill: I can see how the new Liverpool and Brighton managers want to play. In just a few games, their players have bought into them. Behind the manager, the clubs have bought players, at reasonable prices, to achieve an ethos. The United style/plan still eludes me, and by the look of them it eludes the players as well. Install a style, end petulance and be a team.
Chris: A familiar story with United needlessly giving the ball away in dangerous areas of the pitch. The same players have been doing this week in and week out, namely Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. For every ‘killer’ pass Bruno makes, he must waste five or six opportunities to just ‘hit his man’ and retain possession!
Richard: Can Erik ten Hag come back from this? To be embarrassed by your biggest rivals once is unfortunate, twice is careless.
