Liverpool washed away the frustration of their season with a historic 7-0 destruction of Manchester United. Here's how they did it.
[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-ever 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.

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.

United are not in isolation of being swallowed and spat out at the ground - ask Barcelona and peak Manchester City. In seven minutes, the League Cup winners went from being right in the game to inviting a 7-0 rinsing. The game was there to be won, and Ten Hag was convincing his players they could be the winners. Ten Hag was "alarmed" by United's surrender after the interval, particularly given the positive team talk at half-time. Ten Hag will not allow the tired United narrative to take hold. For the manager, there were zero words that could calm the reality that having been competitive for 43 minutes, United threw in the towel with just '50 up on the clock.
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.
