How did Manchester United perform against Liverpool?

Unknown 0:30
Hello everybody, welcome to the Football Feelings Bank Holiday Monday. Me and Tom had an awful lot of beers last night. You only had four Guinness last night. Yeah, it's very professional for me. Very professional for you, so you're going to be on it today. As always, mate. You were on it last week as well, weren't you, mate? Yeah, mate. I was in the lucky seat last week. He's done me a massive solid last week, hasn't he? Oh, he has. He really has. I went fishing. Sorry I wasn't there. I didn't catch a single thing. So you didn't have that medical at Liverpool? No, I didn't have that medical. So you went fishing, right? How many days fishing? Three full days of fishing. Three full days. How many of you went? Three of us.
Unknown 1:05
How many fish did you catch between you? Nothing. How many bites did you get between you? Nothing. How many fish did I see? None. Nothing was kicking?

What crucial win did Spurs achieve this weekend?

Unknown 1:12
Nothing was breaching the surface? Nothing. That's unreal. That is why... I wouldn't ever go fishing. Honestly, it's class, yeah? Fly fishing is really hard work. Like, oh, it's really hard work. You're constantly just on the go kind of thing. And it was beaming hot as well, like unbelievable weather. Nothing. But surely the main job is to catch some fish. Yeah, you'd think so, yeah. But we had a wicked time either way. Anyway, lads, should we talk about the weekend's football, right? United-Liverpool. United-Liverpool. Fair dues, United, no? Just like dominant, dominant win, right?
Ben Foster 1:44
No, it started like it was on fire, to be fair to them, didn't it? Yeah, I didn't see that Liverpool getting anywhere. near it in terms of getting back into it. 2-0 at half-time, they've blown them out of the water really, but it just shows you a sloppy square pass. I always think a square pass is just such a trigger to get a counter against you. And ultimately, I'm not a Maguire basher. But you see when he gets isolated and somebody's driving at him, how easy it is to get an effective action against him. And it weren't great, but it was a good finish. And then obviously the momentum changes quickly in the game. And probably for Senny Lemon, it's the first... Yeah, a big moment for him.

How are Arsenal and Manchester City positioned in the league?

Ben Foster 2:24
And because it's against Liverpool, what he and the team needed were them to get through that and win because it dilutes it a little bit for him.
Unknown 2:33
It shows you, though, doesn't it, how just ruthless the Premier League is. You could see with the Senna-Lamondon mistake, you could see what was happening where he thought McAllister was kind of going to his right to close the man down. And you could see he was like, right, I'll play the ball into the space. And it just didn't work out, did it? The thing is, these players are so clever. They know exactly what they're doing. They look like they're going... They're playing a game. It's like a double bluff, treble bluff. They're waiting and they're showing, but they know what's going on because they're watching him with his body language and what he's doing and they think, well, he can't hit that pass, so I'll just keep edging.
Unknown 3:07
And he got caught out, didn't he? But he needs to learn from this and he will learn from this. But... Next time, sometimes just get rid of it. Rosehead, they can't score from Rosehead.
Ben Foster 3:16
It's like the thing, isn't it? They play the first goal kick to him, but I actually think if you actually really broke it down, the two sixes for United were too narrow, and McAllister could cover both, and then because of the clever dummy, whereas I think when they've gone through that goal kick set-up in training... passed it to him the centre half would have split a little bit to widen the pocket the two sixes have been narrowed and then it's harder it's an easier pass it's an easier pass but it were all too narrow and he still tried to do the action and that's where it'll be interesting to see I mean he's he's clearly a really really good goalkeeper and a fantastic temperament on him we've spent some time with him
Unknown 3:53
But it will be interesting because he's given the ball away there and that shows the Premier League. Pop, pop, pop, goal.
