Simon Hughes and James Pearce join Tony Evans to dissect a damaging defeat for Liverpool FC at Manchester United.

After a dismal first-half display at Old Trafford, the panel assess how concerning the performance was, whether Arne Slot got it wrong tactically, and what a mounting tally of 18 defeats says about the direction of this team.

There is also an update on injuries to key players and a look at what needs to change this summer.
