Liverpool's record-breaking victory made you remember that when they click they can make your tummy fizz and your eyes open wide
Confidence works both ways, of course. As Liverpool delighted during the second half, the Kop ole-ing with crowing gusto, Manchester United’s last few months faded away like sugar paper in a puddle. United actually had the better of the first half – Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford missed very good chances to dent Liverpool’s belief; we knew that it was fragile.
But Ten Hag will be deeply troubled by the way that his side collapsed so embarrassingly and there should be recriminations in the dressing room. This is not playground football, where you can play as a disorganised mess and get away with it. Every opponent in the league is good enough to make you look foolish if you lose your heads. Those in white may as well have waved their shirts like flags, such was the dimness of their emotion-driven response.
. It is not hyperbolic to suggest that he should lose the armband based on this display, such was his petulance and embarrassing lack of maturity. He spent the last 30 minutes rolling on the floor, screaming at officials, kicking opponents, failing to offer anything for the team and then shoved the assistant referee. If a team takes its lead from its on-pitch leader, Fernandes led by pitiful example.
