If your defenders were not so clumsy you may have had a chance, but 1 shot on goal at home say's it ALL, that is form for a team facing relegation.

Liverpool set their own standards for years to become the most successful English club in the Champion League. They don't need lessons from anyone, especially Mancy U. Say bye bye to Europe Mancs, for a long time to come.

1, 2, 3 or 12, it's still 3 points. Liverpool fans have been telling how great they are this season, yet want praise as if they've beaten the best team in Europe. We're a mid-table team as you keep reminding us !!
