It isn't so much the scoreline from today that shocked me, it was how poorly Manchester United played. I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread that their strategy was to put ten men behind the ball and try to release Ronaldo on the counter-attack. I watch most of Liverpool's matches and I can't think of a worse strategy against a group of players that enjoy one touch flicks to break down defensive schemes.
You absolutely cannot carry a thirty-six year old that can't run in a match against a team like Liverpool. They'll run you into the ground every time, as we saw today. Obviously I'm just a guy watching on TV, but I'm not sure how Solskjaer could be so naive as to allow something like this to happen.
