Last thing I'll add is this; the goal Sesko scored in the first half pretty clear briefly comes off his hand, and shouldn't have counted imo. But honestly who cares at this point in the season. Just finish top 5 and be done with this.

Lots of poor performances today. There was a moment where I was worried about a 7-0 revenge game...

Unfortunately, united didn't beat themselves, because we sure were not going to do it.

Tough luck having no attackers, but I can't understand why Rio only got 15 minutes.

Slot ball continues to be uninspiring, boring and ineffective.

Agree with this. Got home and did a quick rewatch. As we have said, this whole thing needs a reset. This game was a rinse and repeat of everything wrong with this team. Besides the injuries, just old and slow looking almost everywhere. Attackers missing or not, the D and midfield was shambolic again. Why didn't Rio start...again? He got 15 minutes and we had more attacking from him than everyone else combined.

First time in 10 yrs lost both games to Man U. Amazing what Carrick has done...and thoroughly better than us sadly. Just hold on to 5th and end this season. I'll say this for the 100th time, this isn't all on Slot but him staying is not the answer imo.

The only reason I can come up with for why you wouldn't fire him is the chance that when we was hired, he sat down with FSG and the Liverpool front office and they developed a legitimate 2-3 year plan to change this team, and knew there would be real ups and down while doing it. It just so happens we've experienced about as up and down as you can get. And they believe that another offseason will transform the team more into whatever that vision is.

Frimpong is a good example imo. The guys makes absolutely no freaking sense playing in a back four, and not much more sense playing as a forward. So maybe their 2-3 year plan for him was to go to a back 3 and use him as a true wingback. I have no idea if that thought process is true or not, just offering the idea, because I've got nothing else really. Frimpong was a horrible purchase in basically every other scenario.
