Cant blame Salah for taking advantage of Sokratis being an idiot.

It was a bad challenge just from the fact that Salah had zero angle on goal.

Anyways 5-1 win for Liverpool.

Arsenal playing that back 4 was horrendous from the start. I am surprised that it only finished 5-1.

Sokratis has definitely not made the leap to the Premier League and don't think he will and Kos is not ready.

United actually look really solid again. Pogba's a man reborn, two goals and an assist today, and bossed the middle of the park.

Poor game again. You would imagine that after the humiliation on saturday they would've want to make a statement.
Fulham had two excellent chances to score in the first half. Even with 5 defenders and 2 controlling midfielders, I had the feeling we were wide open at the back.

City we're the better side. Disappointing performance from a Liverpool perspective.

I think City are a better team in general than Liverpool (not that that's saying much, this City side is magnificent), but Liverpool are having the better season and I'd still back them to win the title at this point. FA Cup gives you a bit of time to come to terms with what happened and get back to winning too.

That was a great game. Some really fine margins.

Think City was better but we're a post and literally less than an inch away from saying Liverpool were better. I hate that midfield three in big away games. No creativity.

Also how does Kompany stay on? LOL!

I read that in all competitions, Milner - Henderson - Wijnaldum has been the midfield for every loss this season. It just doesn't work. How Shaqiri isn't the first name on the midfield list for big games is beyond me. The team plays completely different with him as an attacking mid.

Wijnaldum has been good this year. Fabinho is getting better by the week. IMO, Liverpool's best XI has Fabinho and Wij as defensive mids behind Mane, Shaq, Salah and Firmino in a 4-2-3-1.

De Gea is from another planet or something. Spurs have played well and created a lot of chances but De Gea has been equal to all of them.

One of the singlemost dominant goalkeeping displays I've ever seen

So frustrating :evil:

That Boly tackle is a red but that Kompany tackle isn't. Almost like having a Manchester born referee shouldn't be officiating Manchester matches. Hmmmm.

Who can replace kane now as forward? Son? Who else?
Looks like he will be sidelined for some weeks...
