Jamie Carragher

I can count on one hand the amount of times in my whole career, my whole life, that I've seen Manchester United look like they are so dominant.

And I actually felt before the game, Peter, when the teams were announced, I thought...

really expectant got a big chance here today we've actually got a better team than they have out at this moment in time obviously they've got some injuries so I just felt they didn't have the firepower didn't have a centre forward we had all our best four players in attack on the pitch but then I mean the madness of that second half where you know just mistakes really poor errors and then I think

When you make a mistake in a football match, obviously then you can basically start to unravel, and that's what Manchester United did for 20 minutes.

They just lost their discipline, they were all over the place, and Liverpool got back into it, and you've got to give them credit for that, but then in the end, I think just Manchester United deserved it.

overall I think the third goal obviously that they got was a massive goal for Kobi Mane but also I think just for Michael Carrick to get over the line in this game because it would have been Manchester United have got a record going back to 1984 which he showed us where they've never lost a match having been up at half time and he wouldn't have wanted to lose that record today

It's interesting, towards the end of last season I was poking a little bit, I think it was actually on the podcast Cara, around Liverpool's recruitment department, rightly so, been lauded for a number of years and I said how can they be lauded if they've let the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah and Van Dijk run down to nothing and obviously Diaz with a year to go.

And I wasn't, to be fair, with any surety saying that it's at that moment in time that they sort of messed up or anything, because they won the league last season, but I think there will be question marks now, but it's the first time I've watched Liverpool this season where I've actually thought, looking at the bench and looking on the pitch, there's not much there.

In fairness, Gary, that's not really Liverpool's advantage.

No, and look, we have to mention, obviously, the fact that Eketike, Izak... Salah.

Yeah, and Salah are not playing.

That is them three massive players.

But just generally, just throughout the actual team, and sort of like the backup at centre-half, the backup at full-backs, the...

the midfield all of a sudden looks a little bit slower, and you're just thinking to yourself, you know, it's a glass half empty, glass half full conversation, and to be fair, you can have that conversation at any point after a defeat, but it was the first time today I looked at Liverpool's team and thought, it does look quite shallow, that squad, and then they're obviously going to lose Mo Salah in the summer, and obviously...

they're going to have to obviously do a little bit of a rebuild, but yeah, I just think the Liverpool fans may be watching that game today, and I haven't sensed, I haven't been able to buy into the desperation that they've had, and this sort of exacerbation in the last two or three months about the manager, about the football, but for the first time today in that first half, I thought...

that does look vulnerable and the squad and the bench looks weak and I know they've got three players out but it all of a sudden didn't look like a team that was anywhere near the title from a team that actually won the title so yeah just a comment really that you know there's obviously a bit of a job to do there in terms of obviously getting the recruitment right again in the summer

No, no, you didn't.

I said in the next couple of years, the title could be up for grabs.

Slam on.

Hang on, if the next couple of years, the title could be up for grabs, I'm really relaxed.
