Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag slams 'unprofessional' players ... (CNN)

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stood on the touchline with a face like thunder as he watched his team fall apart against Liverpool on Sunday.

To beat it today against United with that result is unbelievable. We have other standards, these were not the standards we want to show. “Freak result, top performance. “It was not about one or two players. “Every defeat, no matter what, is worse, especially when you lose at Liverpool. “For the [fans] who stayed, it was tough, and we really have to thank them,” ten Hag added.

How will Liverpool and Man United respond to rout? (TSN)

Jurgen Klopp had a question of his own when addressing journalists after Liverpool's 7-0 rout of Manchester United on Sunday.

After the loss to Brentford, Ten Hag ordered his players to come in the next day and run 8.5 miles (about 13.5 kilometers) during a British heatwave in August. But the loss to Liverpool doesn’t greatly change United’s season. That may no longer be the case with a title challenge now likely beyond them after falling 14 points behind Premier League leader Arsenal, but Ten Hag will hope for another rousing response from his players to ensure a season that is still full of promise does not unravel. Then there was the 6-3 loss to Manchester City in October, which led him to question his players’ bravery. He also needs more cover in midfield, with Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham both admired by United. On both occasions, Ten Hag got the desired effect. The answer was a 2-1 win over Newcastle, which came curtesy of Fabio Carvalho’s goal in the eighth minute of added time. Liverpool didn’t win again in the Premier League until Oct. The latest humbling was a reminder that Ten Hag is still in the process of building this United team and his squad remains short in key areas. United beat Liverpool and Arsenal in the aftermath of Brentford and lost only one game in 12 in the league after City. It was the difference between the distance run by both teams in that match and Ten Hag joined in on the run as a show of unity. 16, when the team beat Manchester City 1-0.

How Liverpool put seven goals past Manchester United (The Athletic)

As Trent Alexander-Arnold left the field, he gazed up at the joyous scenes in the Main Stand and raised seven fingers in celebration.

[Fabinho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabinho-B4oErnzfMBHwkivn/) after a torrid spell. But it should silence some of the nonsense about a complete overhaul being required. To score two apiece in a game of such magnitude will only help push them on to the next level. His team-mates raced to share the moment with him. Only one Brazilian holding midfielder shone at Anfield and it certainly wasn’t [Casemiro](https://theathletic.com/football/player/casemiro-wQ6Q8xViV8kqizDc/). However, the outpouring of emotion that followed Liverpool’s seventh was cranked up another level. You can see the value of time spent on the training field. They complement each other so well and have provided the kind of leadership and composure that was previously missing. His team were blunt at one end and horribly vulnerable at the other. It also equalled United’s heaviest defeat, sitting alongside their other 7-0 hidings at the hands of We’ve never seen the like before and are unlikely to ever do so again. The word defeat doesn’t begin to do justice to what transpired.

“We need points of course, but there has to be a plan, a method and reason of getting them.” “It was one of the best performances for a long, long time. “At the moment, he is performing really well and getting numbers,” Forest manager Steve Cooper said. I know how committed he is and how much he wants to get better. “That for me is unprofessional,” he said. You have to defend. “A few months ago everyone thought it was a good moment to play Liverpool — you can’t say it publicly but everyone thought it — because they felt we were struggling a lot," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. “I’m really disappointed and angry. It was also Ten Hag’s worst-ever defeat as a manager. A four-pronged trophy pursuit now looks highly unlikely, with third-place United 14 points adrift of league leader Arsenal. United has lost 7-0 on three previous occasions — the last time coming in 1931 against Wolverhampton. It is important that everyone knows we are here and we are still alive.”

Liverpool humiliate Manchester United as momentum shifts in ... (The Globe and Mail)

In sport, there are good losses, bad losses and terrible losses. Manchester United's loss to Liverpool on Sunday was of an even lower order – a loss no one ...

Unless something truly wild happens – a middle-aged Zamboni driver wins the game in net, say – no one will remember any single one of them. But a regular-season game you can never forget is still possible in European soccer. That may have the salutary effect of convincing the (relative) cheapskates in charge to invest even more in order to stay a winner. Since he just laid a beating on the most fashionable brain in the English game, Klopp is returned to the status of genius. There’s still a lot of season left, but it’s likely this match will define the campaigns of both clubs. Everything else is a flurry of games that are largely meaningless as individual contests. It sits fifth in the Premier League standing. The new glory days weren’t here yet, but you could see them off in the near distance. Then he picked up the ball and flung it at a Liverpool player. If you’re going to stand inside the net, you might as well sit in the stands – that’s how useful you are. Not at the goal line or near the mouth of the net, but fully inside it. There are some pejoratives you prefer to hold back in a sporting context.

Liverpool enjoy historic seven-goal win over rivals Man United (ESPN)

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah took the headlines on a sensational evening at Anfield that saw Liverpool check their biggest rivals.

Liverpool: The Reds have a full week to prepare for a Premier League trip to Bournemouth (March 11), whom they've already beaten 9-0 this season at Anfield. - The 7-goal loss is tied for Manchester United's largest in club history with the previous one coming over 90 years ago (7-0 vs Wolves in Dec. - Marcus Rashford, FW, Man United: Missed a great chance to put United ahead in the first-half. It's important that we really perform and all the guys come on and score, Bobby comes on and scores. One of the few Liverpool players to maintain a level of consistency this season. They made United less effective and gave Liverpool an unexpected bonus in the sense that they made life easier for the home side to defend. But he lacks the pace to play out wide, and his presence in that position meant Alexander-Arnold had one of his easiest games of the season. But those rough edges are being smoothed off with every performance and it seems that playing alongside Mohamed Salah, one of the best forwards in the world, is accelerating that process. United have now scored just once in their last seven games at Anfield and haven't won away to Liverpool since 2016. The irony for United was that they had controlled much of the first-half and wasted good chances before Gakpo put Liverpool ahead in the 43rd minute. [Schedule](/soccer/fixtures?league=eng.1) The defeat means United have now scored just once on their last seven visits to Liverpool and haven't won at Anfield since a Wayne Rooney winner in January, 2016.
