[ I'm sorry but this is nonsense. I'm no stan for any journalist but I've seen nothing but fair reporting from Laurie Whitwell.

It's infuriating how greedy our players are at times. More interested in personal glory than doing what's best for the team. Sancho today (offside), Bruno in the final, Rashford many times over cutting in from the right and trying to pad his stats. Things are moving in the right direction...

Apparently he's a brilliant trainer and very popular with the squad. I just think the manager likes to persevere with a core of players and he's very much on the periphery. Hopefully the manager starts to trust him more because he deserves more minutes.

It's a minor point overall, but that pathetic stuff from the kickouts - to me anyway - set the tone for today's absurd performance. Two or three times before Shaw gave the ball away for the second we lost it trying to play out from the back. We came to Anfield with a defeated attitude instead of...

Kind of felt like a performance like that was coming for a while but the total capitulation is staggering. Experienced players completely losing their heads and making errors they probably haven't made since youth football. Casemiro looked leggy or injured after the first 20 minutes and that...

Weghorst doubters repent

Still makes me smile seeing high calibre winners like Varane (and Casemiro) totally vibing off the different fan culture in England, with supporters closer to the pitch and thousands of away fans at games compared to La Liga. They seem to seriously enjoy interacting with our match goers.

Yet the team is winning and the manager is very happy. The players were busting a gut to get him a goal today. It's almost as if every player doesn't have to be a showstopper to do the job in a team game. I can't imagine the whinging from our fans if we didn't get WW in and weren't winning...

He clearly isn't though. This hyperbole is ridiculous.

Or his off the ball work is so valuable it affords the players around him to thrive. Rashford is benefiting massively off WW and the manager clearly sees it. Thankfully fans don't pick the team.
