Sterling didn't look interested, he actually looked like a player with one eye on the exit door, Allen and Hendo looked leaden footed and for all the talk of Balotelli being lazy Danny wasn't exactly busting a gut to close down their back 4.
In fact bar Sakho and Phil everyone else had below par games.
When you get so many players having an off day you are in trouble and when you are playing a decent side on one of their good days then you are in even more trouble.
That was the story of today, not tactics or formations.
Its everything to do with tactics ,we may as well have sent details by fucking carrier pigeon to Van Gaal on how we're going to set up ,people need to be honest
here and state what they saw unfolding even before their first goal ,and then possibly explain just why this escaped the supposedly keen eye of the manager
Yes players had off games ,but does that imply the manager should also be bereft of injecting a fresh approach to alter an opponents dominance ,Rodgers was lost
out there today when simple changes would have caused Van Gaal to alter his tactics ...Lallana for one should have been replaced with Balotelli ,United looked
rattled when he took to the pitch ,defenders hate playing against him and he gets in their faces and creates havoc.
Our defence had no protection whatsoever so we were opened up way too many times in the first 10 fucking minutes than was comfortable ,even a half fit Lucas would
have negated the threat carried by of Herrera and Carrick who possibly couldn't believe the space and time they were afforded to pick a pass ,they pushed us back so
deep we had six in fucking midfield and a veritable chasm separating them from Sturridge.
Forgive me if I view correcting this as part of a Liverpool managers duties
