Since the last United match at home in March, this list of risible results - including our worst Wembley performance ever:
1-2 v defeat at home to United. As cowardly a performance as yesterday's
4-1 defeat away to Arsenal. And it could/should have been much worse.
0-1 Win at Blackburn in the cup. Blackburn are currently in the bottom 3 in the championship.
2-0 win over John Carver's Newcastle. A team which nearly got itself relegated from a safe position due to the cretin left in charge.
2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley. Can't think of a worse performance in a major cup semi final. Villa were subsequently hammered in the final at Wembley.
0-0 draw at West Brom. A largely clueless performance. Insipid football against a defensive home team.
1-0 defeat at Hull. A team subsequently relegated. Terrible performance against a shite team.
2-1 win at home to OPR, another relegated team. Only when QPR were down to 10 men did we look like winning. Not good.
1-1 draw away to Chelsea. Didn't see the game. But think Chelsea were already celebrating being champions. Non-match for them. On the surface, a good result.
1-3 defeat at home Crystal Palace. Outplayed, outfought and out thought by Pardew. Palace should have won by more.
6-1 defeat away at Stoke. Worst performance I've seen from a Liverpool team, and that includes games with Souness & Hodge in charge. Embarrassing.
0-1 win away at Stoke. A great result given the context. A dogged, hard-fought win achieved through a stunning Coutinho goal. Wider context: Stoke currently bottom of the league.
1-0 win at home to Bournemouth. Dodgy goal but to be successful you occasionally have to scrape these sort of wins.
0-0 draw at Arsenal. Was away so didn't see the game. A good result at a venue were we historically struggle. By all accounts a very good first half performance.
0-3 defeat at home to West Ham. A copy of the Palace performance from last season. Dire performance, outfought and out thought this time by Billic. Could have been more than 3 for the Hammers.
3-1 defeat at Man United. As poor and gutless a first half I've seen from a Liverpool at Old Trafford, against an ordinary and pedestrian United. No shape, no fight, no tactical awareness.
I think the bare facts speak for themselves. Generally poor results and poor performances over a 16 game period. I defy anybody to find a great 90 minutes of football from that list. The last genuinely good performance was against City at Anfield at the start of March. We were very good that day. We've had good results since, but the performance level has been generally shite. And good teams don't lose that many matches. There's a trend there, and that is we are currently losing half the games we play. Imagine if it continues: every other game we get beaten!
I have no personal dislike for Brendan. I just don't think he is good enough to be our manager any longer.
