The post-mortem will last for some time:
Let's not mess about here, this is probably the worst team performance in the history of the Premier League. Results can be misleading - the 1-6 to Man City was 1-3 going into stoppage time, the performance wasn't THAT bad - but this is a humiliation, 10 times worse than that.

Solskjaer is very lucky that Spurs last season (1-6) and Liverpool today (0-5) largely stopped playing about 10 minutes into the second half, or else Man Utd were in record defeat (0-7) territory on both occasions

Will Solskjaer make it to next week?
Next Sunday: Spurs v Man Utd.

El Sackio.
A somber final thought:
The worst thing isn't your rivals gloating when you lose 5-0 to them. It's when they're magnanimous. Or worse, sympathetic
