It's an absolute non-starter, that kind of argument. The rags could argue on that basis that they “won” the second half in the derby at the Etihad earlier this season. A number of deluded Liverpool fans (yeah, ok, deluded + Liverpool might be considered to be a piece of tautology) seriously argued that they were holding their own against us until Mané was sent off in September 2017 when we slaughtered them. Except that they weren't — they were losing 1-0.

Apply that theory to the second leg of the Real Madrid game for us last season. city did everything up to the last few minutes of the game then went to pieces and got done in extra time. If you don’t take your chances, you get punished. Liverpool scored 7 goals out of their 8 shots on target yesterday. That’s clinical stuff.

I would actually take that last point further as some dippers reckoned they would have WON if Mane had not been head butted in the foot by Eddie.

Some of them were lucky as well the Salah rebounded to him and the fatty Shaw one was comical, all adds to it been even funnier
 
Loved how Liverpool scored their first just minutes after Neville had declared this was the classic-type away performance by United.

Such insight.
That classic 7-0 away performance
You know keep it tight, quiet the crowd, get in at half time still in the game …. then fall to pieces
