This was the kind of disgraceful loss that could define the campaigns of both clubs
In sport, there are good losses, bad losses and terrible losses. Manchester United’s loss to Liverpool on Sunday was of an even lower order – a loss no one will ever forget.
This was disgraceful. In this context, with these two teams, seven-nothing might as well be 700-0. United could not have looked worse if it had folded the franchise 10 minutes before time expired . As the seventh goal was scored, United defender Diogo Dalot was standing in his own net. Not at the goal line or near the mouth of the net, but fully inside it. If you’re going to stand inside the net, you might as well sit in the stands – that’s how useful you are. Maybe he was hiding. If so, who could blame him?
This year it shifted from funny-ha-ha to funny-why-are-you-so-old? Two weeks ago, it went up 2-0 on Real Madrid in a Champions League match and lost 5-2. It was the end of an admittedly short era. Time to start thinking about where to attach the depth charges in advance of demolition. People began seriously debating whether Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp – the agreed-upon best field boss in the world a few months ago – should be fired.Liverpool is headed out of the Champions League.
For Liverpool, it shows there is kick left in this thoroughbred. No need to talk about controlled burns yet. Since he just laid a beating on the most fashionable brain in the English game, Klopp is returned to the status of genius. That may have the salutary effect of convincing the cheapskates in charge to invest even more in order to stay a winner.In North America, the regular season stopped mattering a long time ago.
