I think Isotope is clearly making quite an obvious point that most are missing.

You really need a new winger so you can move Rooney up top with Mata behind him. RVP just looks....meh this season.
We look so unorganised in our front 4
Liverpool have more skill and better tactics. Sad.
Eh? Suarez, Gerrard and 9 others. Just a better TEAM who know what they are playing at.
It really wasn't that bad. It was bad don't get me wrong but they're not dicking anyone.
I'd have Henderson of this season ahead of any of your midfielders. Not world class, but he doesn't have to be. Sturridge wouldn't if you went on names, but again, on this season he'd be your best striker.
To be fair, speaking solely about this match, they look totally in control. When we have the ball it's as if it's because they seem content to give it to us, rather than stealing it from them. It just looks like they could step it up too.
Really hope we pull our fingers out our asses at half time.
The only one among the ones you name with the potential to reach world class one day is Sturridge. Suarez is undoubtly there. Thats it.
The harsh truth is, that you have more quality on the pitch than them. This is the difference between a great working unit and a bunch of top players thrown together.
This is basically your best possible squad right now. The excuse of having not enough quality out there can not stand here.
Do you do that to? I thought I was the only one. I like to put the fork in the fridge before hand so it's nice and cold, it adds extra kinkiness.
We must be the slowest team in Europe.
can I have some of what you are having, FFS this is bullshit.
Well said.
We buggered up the tactical situation from the start and then compounding matters by failing to address the problem, eleven red shirts but not a team.
Brining on Welbeck won't be a cure by itself either as much as the commentators might think so.

You have a very filthy mind.
I don't think we're even afloat at the moment
Have they feck got more than one world class player.
Well, I was just quoting Moyes pearl of wisdom.
Why? Mata used to shoot at Chelsea, he scored goals at Chelsea. Since he's moved here he's not really done much. Just keeps things ticking over and crosses a lot more than he used to.
Bing bing bing bing!! We have a winner!
Someone please take that red shirt off fellaini.
Rafael's handball is a weird feck up and every player is prone to them but I'll never understand why players throw themselves for these ridiculous tackles in attacking positions when they have zero hope of catching the ball but 100% chance of hurting the opposing player
Rafael is too busy showing off his tough nature by throwing himself stupidly whereas more restraint could make him better.

Exactly. I don't know how that post got so many reactions.
Really underwhelming performance. I was looking for a performance which will give confidence for the midweek game.
Difficult first half. Like Neville keeps saying, Liverpools shape is keeping Mata and Januzaj out of the game pretty much.
Shame about the handball. It's so instinctive when you see the ball escaping you like that. Other than that, Rafa has been ace. Love seeing him get stuck in for the big games.
Jon Flanagan has had a good game so far. He's quite good for someone who looks like his mum and dad are siblings.

U wot m8?
I wouldn't call that a front four, it implies some coherence/collective play.
I can't bear to watch the 2nd half - this will end up 3-0 to liverpool.
Who here thinks we'll turn it around in the 2nd half? I have very very little faith left now in Moyes.

They looked like the home team.
How many chances did this Liverpool domination create?
They were handed a goal by Rafael, i.e. the player we are not allowed to discuss replacing with a new RB despite not being available half the time.
These commentators are shitting him off. It isn't a red. Rafael was looking to block the clearance, not take the man. Yellow and end of story for that bit.
Just hope dithering Dave will be proactive and make a positive change that will change the game, otherwise we'll go 2-0 down. Written in the script I suppose.
Rafael does have a mistake in him, on the big games... his penalty just shows it...
Jones has been great today so far, I don't know what he can do tough? do a diamond formation with Mata in the hole? bring on Valencia for Fellaini/Carrick? It's an odd one.

We have absolutely no recognizable playing style. Are we a counter attacking side? Surely not since we don't have enough pace in the side. Are we a possession side? We can't keep possession in Liverpool's third so doesn't look like it. Are we a crossing side? If we are we wouldn't have started Mata on the right and Januzaj on the left. We ended up switching them and reverting to crossing because I guess that's the only strategy we are capable of remotely implementing.
As I've said, everybody look shades of themselves and it's not just about taking shots, it's about everything basically. I'm pretty sure Moyes didn't tell Mata 'if you've got place and time and you're at 17th yard, don't dare to shoot but please cross it to nobody in the box'.
That was a shite half from us. We're not creating many chances and not keeping the ball particularly well.
The next 45 minutes are absolutely crucial. Hopefully, however unlikely it seems at the moment, we manage to turn it around.

RVP has not been all that bad.. they have been all over us...That is the problem. Fellani has done well. Januzaj on the right looks better...and with Rafaael look like we can get behind their defence.
They did, but dicking all over us, C'mon!
They barely had a decent chance until the penalty, not disputing they've been the better team mind.
If only you could go to the matches and support the lads in person...
He was already on a yellow.
Well, we make them look like world class.
