Leeds United 1 - 6 Liverpool

Let's all explore all the best reaction as Leeds United were thrashed by Liverpool at Elland Road.

It must be a concern for Leeds fans as, alongside Everton, they face a huge battle to stay in the Premier League.

"I can't see us winning another game." 

Those were the words of Leeds Season Ticket holder Oliver. He went on to say: "The performance against Palace wasn't great obviously but the end result was a bit of a fluke. Despite being beaten this time by a better side in Liverpool, I am now a lot more concerned. I can't see us winning another game and believe we could very easily get relegated."

"We have a lot going wrong at the worst possible time."

Richard was also concerned about his side's future in the Premier League. He added: The worrying thing about that is that could have lost this by a lot more. There was a lack of communication across the team and the coaching staff didn't seem capable of reversing what was happening on the pitch. We have a lot going wrong at the worst possible time."

This fan offered some tactical advice. 

As you can imagine, Liverpool fans were a lot happier. 

Could it reignite their chances of finishing in a Champions League place? They remain 9 points by 4th place Newcastle. Some form of European football will be important to Klopp and the Liverpool fans. They still have every chance of finishing in a spot that ensures either Europa or Conference League football.

"It's easy to get carried away, we've been here before." 

Those were the words of Jamie, a Liverpool fan who was in the away end at Elland Road. He went on to say: "It's far too easy to get carried with a result like that, we've been here before. The first half hour was very worrying and we seemed to be devoid of intensity or creativity. A decent team would have taken advantage of that. We must start every game with far more passion and urgency.

Some interesting stats for you to think about.

Mohamed Salah loves playing against Leeds United. He has scored nine league goals against the Elland Road side. This is more than any other Liverpool player.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager.

The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
