Obviously it was his mistake, it was just nothing to do with trying to be smart.

25 yds from the goal and he tried to do this. It looks to me like he tried to be too smart, flashy, headbutted it towards De Gea...instead of just pass it to him or put it behind the line. Just totally unnecessary. This and Blind's fail at the end of the first half just demonstrate their current state.

He wanted to control it with his foot (or smash it, either way), he either misread the bounce or the wind took it, he ended up having to rush a header that didn't get nearly enough distance on it.

It is an all round bad performance by the team and him getting that right wouldn't have changed a great deal overall, it just seems unfair to criticise him for intent when he's getting back and helping out and simply got something wrong.

Jose Mourinho chant all around the stadium. Not all Man Utd fans are against this kind of appointment. It will be very interesting. :D

More proof, if any were needed, that plenty of football fans are blithering idiots drawn from the very lowest ranks of society.

So Liverpool will only win when they are underdogs?

Lovren did very well and Henderson is returning to his pre-injury level. Benteke scored but still looks unsuited to our play. Firmino has been terrible since he was sublime vs City. Coutinho and Lallana are both unconvincing lately. We need to rediscover some spark and cohesion in our front four.

Origi very unlucky to get an injury after starting well and showing himself worthy of the starting role. We've had so many hamstring injuries that a poor preseason must be as much to blame as a heavy schedule for a thin squad.
