Exc: Football director John Murtough to leave this week, after 10 years at the club. Exit before summer seen as best. Jason Wilcox set to arrive as technical director. Other staff stepping up in interim. Dan Ashworth later.

Needless from Wan-Bissaka to go to ground, but probably the effects of a game spent on the edge defensively. Onana dived early, especially as Salah’s penalties can be close to the middle.

Taking Garnacho off has deprived of an out ball. His stamina stays until the end.

It’s inexplicable.

Summed up by an overhead kick in midfield.

Mainoo hasn’t had his best game but that was sensational. Reminiscent of Macheda. Just wild.

a confused mess. Midfield caught between two ideas in open play, responsibilities uncertain at set pieces. Fernandes having a shocker. It’s like a training game for Liverpool - they’re letting off United by being so wasteful.

Harry Amass, 17-year-old left-back, included in squad for Liverpool game. Signed from Watford last summer, he has been a standout for U18s this campaign. Accelerated call up due to injury situation.

'You cannot think of only playing for a draw.'

'Never write Manchester United off against Liverpool.'

Jurgen Klopp's record against is moderate - 7 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses - so how should Ten Hag's side approach their last Premier League clash?

Palace v MUFC moved to a Mon at 8pm. On a bank holiday. Why is that fixture so often moved? I’ve seen hundreds of fans miss a late Selhurst winner as they needed to get the last train back to Manchester. Is a fragment of consideration given to fans who actually go to games?

🎧 Talk of the Devils 🎧

The banter derby: abysmal + brilliant. From a perspective: resilience/quality mixed with brittleness/errors.

We cover all + how game fits into view of Ten Hag.

Atrocious for to lose that game. Had actually been keeping possession relatively well in stoppage time. But completely lost their heads after equaliser, in open play + at set piece. Leading successive games in 90+ mins: one point return. Criminal.

That is a joyous goal. Quite astonishing pass by Antony. Some way to get his first assist in the Premier League this season. This Antony performance has been one to show his potential. Grit after a major mistake. Garnacho turning into a talisman for .

Comedy half of football. so poor in 50/50s, almost absentminded, failing to make easy passes. Then snap into some kind of life, aided by Chelsea. Great finish Garnacho + good move for Fernandes header. Palmer + Gallagher ready to pounce on mistakes. Could end anything.
