After 5 years, 3 months and 15 days, Liverpool finally beat Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League in a very embarrasing manner with another 3-1 scoreline (Like Manchester city).
Here are 5 matters arising from this Defeat at Anfield.
1. LIVERPOOL 6-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
Though it ended 3-1, it felt like 6-0 as United were 6 times less than Liverpool in various stats.

Liverpool had 6 times more shots in total (36 vs 6), 6 times more shots on target (12 vs 2) and 6 times more corner kicks (13 vs 2).
2. 'EKENE-DILI-CHUKWU' BUS
As expected, Josè played the park-the-bus formation against Liverpool. It was a very big Coaster bus the bus broke down as Liverpool kept knocking on the door of United's defence.

Interestingly, apart from Allison the goal keeper, every Liverpool player had a shot against Manchester United today.
3. FATHER CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MANÈ
Before today, Sadio Manè had gone 8 matches without a goal.
In the Spirit of Santa Claus, Manchester United gifted him with a goal. Happy day for Manè.

4. 56 GOALS LOADING.....
Last season, United conceded 28 goals in the entire 38 games of the season. Thus far, we have conceded 28 goals (same as last season's total) and we have only played 18 games!!!

If you calculate the maths, we may be heading for 56 goals at the end of the season....I pity De Gea.
5. THERE'S STILL NO PLAN
Saying this has become like a putting a musical track on repeat. Like in previous games, United chased the ball for nearly 90 minutes.

No purposeful forward movements, no attack plan, no insightful passes, no.............everything.
IN THE END, with this loss, United's tally of 26 points is the lowest at this stage of the season since 1990-1991. Sad
OPINION POLL
Do the players have any blame in this matter?
