Yes, that's right, toothless Kops can't cope with Southampton, losing 0-1 at Anfield. Why is this of interest since this is a Manchester United's blog? For starter, the rivalry between United and Liverpool is one full of history and with their flying start to the season, majority of Kop's fans seems to not only live in the land of delusion but also unashamedly claimed the bragging rights - for being at the top of the table in a season of 5 games (or less). Now the defeat comes as a big slap for those who thinks leading the table by one point (to Arsenal) after only 4 games is something to celebrate!!!
How Manchester United fans wondered if 2 weeks ago David Moyes' men would take their chances and fight like a cup final, the results may be different. Anfield is not such an intimidating place to go after all. Liverpool's confidence would also take another dive after such demoralizing defeat to Southampton at home and ahead of the 'Big Clash For A Small Cup' this coming Wednesday night at Old Trafford. Brendan Rodger's team might want to remind their fans of their midtable permanent residency and that the real title contenders are the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs having some slim hopes of upsetting the top three.
This results also highlight the importance of tomorrow's Manchester derby where Manuel Pellegrini and David Moyes will begins their derby fight for their new clubs. Winners will surely give themselves a good pat on the pat where the 3 points are all that matter comes May 2014.
