Defending Was Poor - Fergie

"We can take nothing positive from this. We didn't have one performer on the pitch apart from possibly Rio Ferdinand. It was disappointing," Fergie said after the match.

"Our defending was very poor for both Liverpool goals. You don't expect that from Manchester United.

"When we have a bad day we usually still get something from the game.

"Overall, they were the better team today. Liverpool produced a performance of tackling, hassling and getting about us.

"You have to give them credit for that - but at the end of the day, we should cope."
