This isn't an exaggeration but I literally feel I could set up this Liverpool team, XI and tactically, better than Brendan manages to.

And let's be honest. Christian Benteke's goal was worth 3 points alone.

Benteke's goal tho... It's Always A Belgian.
Not a good game and worst score. Lfc 1 vs Mufc 3. Time to think where is the team going. Benteke the only spark. #ynwa

😱 #Martial comes on scores this worldie goal on his debut! Next Thierry Henry? 👀 #ManUtd #Liverpool
Man United fans chanting "You're getting sacked in the morning" That's a little harsh. I think Louis Van Gaal is doing a half decent job.
Hummmm @AnthonyMartial welcome to the @premierleague 👌🏾
It took Anthony Martial 13 minutes to get a touch. But he scored with his first shot for #MUFC. A star is born.
Rodgers: "We showed good character to get back on the front foot"
Brendan Rodgers wasn't happy with today's result so I said Don't worry boss, it's a marathon, not a sprint. He said You're right, James.
The Kloop is ticking for Rodgers #LFC
If you only count goals from open play then we drew that game 1-1 That's a superb result away from home
