Man of the match performance by Lammens. His handling was immaculate - everything stuck to him. Under relentless pressure at set pieces, he stayed calm and completely in control.

How will Casemiro be remembered?

Live for days like these…

Thoughts?

I feared the worst when I saw the lineup and it played out exactly as expected. With no real ball progression through midfield and no pace out wide = slow, predictable football... I fear the wheels will come off.

It was always heading for this outcome after yesterday’s post match press interview.

Mbeumo brings goals and work ethic. The attacking options are significantly better compared to last season. This United team has goals in it.

Cunha was class. He was the main attacking outlet in the second half and helped relieve the pressure through his control, strength and composure in tight areas. It’s been said already, he has the swagger to play for United.

I’ve been critical of Amad this season, but credit where it’s due, he was outstanding today, both going forward and tracking back. The yellow card was a farce. He looks better at right wing-back and the link-up with Mbeumo is starting to click nicely.

Another solid outing by Lammens. He kept things simple and effective. No risky short passes to invite Liverpool’s press, just calm, assured play throughout. Makes a massive difference.

Exhausted.

United have been well worthy of the lead at half time. Expecting Lammens to very busy on the second. United will hopefully absorb the pressure and score on the counter!

Storm Amy may bring Sunderland down to our level.

For the first time, I’m genuinely questioning Amorim’s direction. The end is nigh, surely? Or in November when his pay off is less…

Absolutely brutal showing today. Easily the worst performance of the season, no shape at the back, no cohesion going forward and the complete absence of urgency or intensity was enough to make you want to rip your hair out.

From Grimsby grief to Burnley relief. United’s week in a nutshell. What’s the United mood this Monday - clinging to hope or nursing the blues? Thread 'Monday (United) Mood Check - 1st September 2025' stretfordendarising.com/threads/monday…

Mbeumo was United’s standout performer. In addition to scoring, he created plenty of chances. He’s a clear upgrade on the likes of Garnacho.

Much like the Fulham match, United should’ve had the game wrapped up by half-time. At this point, I’m not overly fixated on formations or tactical setups - what worries me most is the drop in intensity and tempo. This was a must-win, they got the job done, just.

If a change is made during the season, who should be appointed as Amorim’s long-term successor? Thread 'If not Amorim, then who?’ stretfordendarising.com/threads/if-not…
