Summary

Here we go again... Ian Irving hosts the Monday podcast he thought we'd put behind us, debriefing a catastrophic defeat at Anfield with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell (who added calamity to disaster even after the final whistle).

So, what happened, and was it a one-off or will it leave a scar? We get into the details, plus a round-up of a couple of news stories, and Andy's fortuitous link to the next opponents, Real Betis. You make your own luck in this game...

Produced by Ollie Bellwood.

0:45.3	I don't have an explanation.
0:47.3	First half was quite in control.
0:49.2	Maybe even we had a better chance.
0:51.0	And then second half, we gave two goals away.
0:57.0	And then everything fell out of each other. There was no team anymore. We didn't stick to the plan. 11 individuals that's
1:02.1	unprofessional. You always have to stick as a team together, fight with each other and we didn't
1:09.3	do. We were really indisciplined in our jobs.
1:12.0	You can have setbacks,
1:14.3	but what can't happen is that you don't stick together
1:17.4	and you have to do your job.
1:19.3	We didn't match the runs.
1:21.3	We didn't track back and that's for me unprofessional.
1:28.9	This is Talked the Devils, the Athletics podcast dedicated to Manchester United, and I have
