People need a history lesson

United have historically managed pretty good results against Liverpool - even in the years when Liverpool were dominant. I don't think either side emerged with great credit last night. Herrera had a very good game for United and Valencia (surprisingly) played well. At least it silences the media Liverpool fan club, if only for a while.

Neither team deserved the win, so it was the right result. The way the game was played is a sad indictment of the difference between the Premier League and La Liga. Can't imagine any of the Barca or Madrid fans tuned into the second half, as we might with El Classico.

It's a sad state of affairs when mid-way through the second half I was thinking to myself "both these teams are so far off the level City are at."

Right result.

An early goal would have changed everything but the game just never got going.

Reckon with better subs we could've nicked it. Would have loved to have had Martial to bring off the bench.

Would've taken a 0-0 before the game though, so no complaints from me

Think we respected them too much to be honest but a point is a point.

They are not as good a side as they think they are

What do we think ?

We fancy ourselves for a top 4 challenge and I don't think that's a stretch is it.

No, it isn't.

You're a better team than us, for sure. We haven't clicked yet. I think that we're pretty even man for man, if we get Mkhitaryan fit, and Martial back to form and fitness.

Point was the fair result and a good one too. I think Liverpool really missed Lallana and Wynaldum, had both started I think we would have seen a different first half. But then we also missed some key players. Liverpool will still be fighting at the top and we will improve.

The new pool keeper looked very windy. He wasn't tested much. Made a horrible hash of one cross, but Zlatan was too busy fouling the centre half.

I think you'll see teams with less to lose (or more ambition) pressing that keeper quite aggressively.
