Congratulations to Huddersfield. Nice to see a couple of new names in the Prem next season.

But it does sit a little uneasily with me that you can finish 5th over 46 games, then not win a single playoff game, and get promoted. 

Started a game with Schalke and, man, Bayern are a machine. I'm second to them, 10 points behind. In 17 games, Bayern have won 16 - their only defeat was actually 3-1 at our place.

Meanwhile, we made hard work of a Europa League group including Monaco, Maribor and Astra...

A defeat and a draw with Monaco, a 1-0 away loss to Maribor and 2 wins against Astra, left us needing to beat Maribor at home in game 6 to progress.

Went 1-0 up early, only for them to level just before half time. This meant we needed to score twice to move above them on head to head record. Left it late but scored in the 70th and 78th minutes and held on to scrape through.

Celta Vigo in the next round is a decent draw though and we just smashed third place Gladbach 4-0 away from home going into the winter break. All looking good outside of Bayern.

Red all day long, but I loved the Ziggler-level sell from Aguero. 

Yay Sergio! 

What the fuck is Martin Keown babbling about? Costa has been in Rojo's pocket all night long.

Pogba hasn't won a tackle this entire second half.

Rojo and Valencia on the other hand have been excellent.

Valencia with a worse tackle than either of Herrera's. No card .

One day Costa is going to actually break his leg, and no one will care as play goes on around him for the rest of the game.

Aaannd game over.

Classic Michael Oliver.

Ah well, decent game ruined. It's a shame because we've competed much better than I expected us to tonight 

Ah well, didn't want to win the cup anyway.

I grew up in Lincolnshire, so I'm fully on this bandwagon.

'Mon the Imps!

Well it wouldn't be a United game this season without a sitter being missed.

Mkhi at number 10 every week please.

Totally forgot I put £3 on Mkhitaryan first goal and United 4-0 @ 95/1...

2-0

Jesus does look great. Though the narrative would've been entirely different if Fabianski holds on to that. Suddenly he would be the kid who missed the chance to win it and "would Aguero have scored that?". Funny how things go.

As for our game, can't believe Rashford continues to start ahead of Martial. He'll never be a left winger.

(Naturally, Rashford will now go and score a hat trick).

That penalty decision though...

Fully expect to see 12 penalties a game now then.

At some point Mourinho needs to criticise finishing as opposed to saying the keeper is having a worldy. It was so bad again today. 

I'm sure he does behind closed doors - I don't want him coming out in the media and trashing people for missing chances though.

Leigh Grant must wish he could play us every week.

Some strike from Rooney that.

Presumably Joel Matip was brought on up front for his ability to play in tight areas, because Jurgen Klopp would never encourage long balls that "end football"?

Carragher and Souness having a row is hilarious.

Didn't really deserve that. Lucky escape. Awful performance.

I mean, we were poor for the most part, but I wouldn't say a draw was particularly undeserved. The couple of chances Liverpool created were on the counter late on when we were pushing forward. We had the better chances in the first half, in spite of not being at our best. I'd say a draw was fair today.

Oh look, the totally objective Sky Sports panel are all gutted.

Not sure Rooney is the sub you make when you need to be more dynamic in attacking areas...
