Good result all things considered. Stopped Liverpool at creating anything noteworthy, while we had a couple of very good chances and were unlucky for the goal to be ruled offside.

Give Ole the job. And give him lots of money because we clearly need it. Fecking Liverpool are shit and we showed it to the world today. Great efforts from the team today. Easily could've won it.

Proud of the lads. Liverpool created nothing of note all game.

We would have beaten them had we not been missing half of our first XI.
Agreed. I am proud of them. They showed great attitude, work-rate, playing together.

Very mediocre performance by both teams.

Neither will win the Premier League this season.

Good point considering. Caf probably won't agree but right decision by Ole to play for the point and even then we were better team.

They couldn't create a single chance when we didn't have Matic, Herrera, Martial, Lingard and Mata, with Rashford barely able to run.

We had the only chances, we defended superbly - our players can be proud.

Good to snatch a point under the current circumstances. Luke Shaw was immense and Lukaku should have played better in a lot of situations.

It was on Liverpool to go and win that and they choked. Klopp’s face at the end said it all.

We had the better chances, kept Liverpool from getting a sniff and made them look very ordinary. All with a patched up team running on fumes. The players can be very proud of that.

Thought we were great, especially with the injuries. Disappointed that some couldn't wait to jump on Ole with regards to Lingard sub. He was caught between a rock and a hard place with both Rashford and Mata being injured pretty-much simultaneously.

Gary Neville can feck off.

Should have won and probably would have with a full strength team. Injuries a way bigger downside than the result.

Heroic from Rashford to stay on despite being injured for about 80 minutes.

I think we should have nicked that based on the chances.

Souness in unbearable shocker incoming...

Good team effort - McTominay and Pereira did really well considering the circumstances.

Proud of Ole and the players, shame we couldn't win it in the end. Now let's hope our medical staff performs miracles. I'm really really concerned about our upcoming games.

The defence were brilliant, we did well after the crazy situation of the first half.

Liverpool created nothing, I don’t think De Gea made a single save.

Monstrous performance from Luke Shaw, a very solid 9/10. Everyone else was at 7 or 8 except for Pereira (6/10).

Fantastic dedication, unlucky with a micro-offside for Mike.

Lastly, unexpectedly brilliant performance from Michael Oliver

Considering the games coming up, I'll be happy with a point. Ole still unbeaten in the league. Vital vital PL games that we must win. PSG looks lost if we don't have Herrera, Matic and Rashford along with already confirmed Pogba

The dichotomy in the match thread was amazing. Lukaku was shite but somehow also was the reason for all our good chances. Go figure.

We win that with a fit team.

I voted Shaw for MOTM but the whole team did well. Special mention to Perreria, he did alright. Sanchez is still a disappointment, hardly involved in defence

Not a bad results but really feel we could have taken all 3 points. Even with all the injuries we had the better chances.

Great fighting spirit, we were effectively playing with 10 men as Rashford could barely move.
Horrid game, both teams looked knackered.

Injuries cost us any real chance of winning, good point in the end shame it wasn’t enough to stop Liverpool going top

Shame we couldn’t nick it at the end there. Considering everything, we did really well and if we didn’t have those injuries we could have taken them for sure.

Superb effort by the team. Stupid Lingard sub. Need to think about our fitness coaching.

Given the way the game went 0-0 is a great result.
I think the fitness problem is because we are suddenly doing alot of running under Ole and under Mourinho it was sitting back and less running. That kind of change in a season will cause problems especially if Mourinho did't focus on fitness training much.

With the way the game started. It's a miracle it would end 0-0. I'll take it. Shame we didn't finish our chances.

Luke Shaw MotM for me, but everyone (those who actually lasted the full 90 minutes!) deserve a 10. I'm proud of them.

You might as well just give Ole the job now because on the evidence of this game, our lads will run through brick walls for him.

Do it, Woody, give him the job.

Defensively excellent. Top effort.

A moral victory given the injuries.

With the way the first half went, I guess we should be happy no one died on the pitch.
