Yeah Nobody thought Liverpool could 7 scored without conceding, it was a goals party for them. This very bad defeat will be the most valuable lesson for Ten Hag, because in the EPL there are many big clubs which can't be underestimated, even clubs that are in the relegation zone can make a surprise here. Meanwhile, for Liverpool which has been big win, they possibility will certainly be on fire to at least win a ticket in top 4 because the gap is also not too far anyway.

The big defeat that United experienced certainly made Ten Hag fully aware that it would burden his team. However, Ten Hag wants his players to learn from this defeat. There is nothing to blame other than self-correcting to clean up.

The nightmare came just a week after they lifted the EFL trophy and the Red Devils came to Anfield full of confidence because before this game, Erik ten Hag's men were unbeaten in the last 11 matches across competitions. They have even won in their last four matches, including getting rid of Barcelona in the Europa League and beating Newcastle United when they won the English League Cup. In contrast to Liverpool's record, only won one victory in the last three matches in all competitions.

The crushing defeat is indeed very hard to forget, but I'm sure the MU players will rise soon. This prestige-laden match should be a valuable lesson for United, which is on its way to revival this season. Erik Ten Hag doesn't need to get lost in that disappointment, he just needs to prove that it is in his hands that MU can bounce back and fill United's wardrobe which has been empty for a long time with various trophies.
Klopp admitted it was a good result for Liverpool, also Klopp said Manchester United were in good form before the disaster struck throughout the second half. The opportunities that Manchester United had were not able to be maximized properly, while the performance of the players had decreased since Liverpool's second and third goals were created within 3 minutes.

All of Ten Hag's plans failed at Anfield, so it must be the worst disaster for the red devils in the Premier League. I was happy about what Klopp said during his post-match press conference, he deserved credit for the performance of his team.

PRESS CONFERENCE: Jürgen Klopp on Liverpool 7-0 Man Utd: 'A really top performance from the start'

Quote
Freak result, top performance. A really top performance from the start, I thought the way we started the game was really special, the best for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. We were there, we were aggressive but we played football. We were calm in the right moments, super-lively, super-active in other moments [and] after 25 minutes it opened up a bit.

United came a bit better into the game but the late goal before half-time was a sensational goal: what Robbo is doing there, cutting inside and is then really calm – what we were actually asking for, that in these moments we have to give ourselves time to get into the right position – and then Cody realised it early enough that Robbo wants to pass the ball there and a super finish.

Second half starts, I don’t think the second half could start better with the two goals we forced there pretty much and from that moment on the boys were flying. Then it was really difficult to play against us and how I said, the performance is important, three points is even more important, and the result is just the result.
