What am I watching here? (Man U. - Liverpool at the half)

It's 0-4 at the half and Liverpool are not even close to their best. Two goals by Salah (who's scored for a record 10 straight), and even the useless Knobby Cato is made to look good and scored a decent finish. Man U's defending is diabolical and Ronaldo is getting so frustrated he's lucky not to have been red-carded. I suspect he might be off in the second.

As train wrecks go, it's pretty amusing really.

And Mo Salah has his hat trick. He's the most lethal finisher today.

And now Ronaldo got one back.... 1-5, but I suspect the comeback is not really on the cards.

Weird. VAR Ruled him offside. Nothing going right for United today. I fear for Ollie....

ETA: From the Guardian's MBM: “A horror film a bit early for Halloween: When Harry Met Salah.”

Pogba should be off here after a studs up potential leg breaker. Good riddance.

Sounds like I can catch it on the highlights. Men with Blazers on Morning Joe should be quite good tomorrow.

…vicious, and had the ball not been protecting the opposing player’s abdomen, there likely would have been ruptured organs.

Never got organized in back and little off the ball movement. McGuire not the same player after recent injury.

We can only hope.

At the start I was apprehensive because MU do have talent. They just couldn't keep pace with Liverpool, it was glorious to watch.
What a match, what a team.

That's what you watched.

Shankley apparently said the same when one of his aides demolish an opponent...

" that wasn't a match...it was an exhibition of football"
