You have got more chance of Jose Mourinho saying nice things about referees than Liverpool getting a clean sheet

Another record I believe Burnley get first point ever at Old Trafford
I very much doubt that's true, they've met many times there.

First point there since 1974

Think it's their first point away from home this season.

How many times have they actually played at Old Trafford? One of those stats that probably doesn't look that amazing when you peel back the bullshit.

Liverpool just can't cope at all with crosses

Can't see Palace winning this if they continue to go toe to toe with them.

United look toothless. the manager and players can blame the referee all they wants, but if you're at home to Burnley it's your fault if you fail to win. A result like the one today is probably worse than getting hammered away from home at a good side.

Liverpool are shaky at the back. Can't see them winning any league with this defence.

Not sure anyone's blamed the referee?

Being unhappy at his performance isn't saying that he's responsible for the result.

I'm guessing he's a fan of them.

Sorry. I just noticed most of the comments id read seemed to be about the nasty referee.

Edit ,, definitely NOT a Penalty , that was a dive

Apart from the opening 15 minutes a pretty lacklustre performance.

Amrabat was the only real threat all game.

Hull certainly grew into the match and were dangerous on the break.

3 points nevertheless!

54 times in the league, United have won 33 times, Burnley 8.

I meant since the last time they got a point.

This was the fourth time they've played there since their last point.

If Liverpool can keep scoring more than they concede, then it doesn't matter how shaky their defence is. I'd happily take 10-9 wins for the rest of the season.

As I suspected. 'Since 1974..' sounded a lot better but wasn't worth much in reality

Haha, suppose. It's usually sides who can grind out the 1-0 wins when things get tasty towards the end of the season who triumph. Last season being a good example.

Yes, why not take the same approach that paid so many dividends for Newcastle all those years ago?

Everton - West Ham still somehow 0-0, despite Obiang and Barkley having golden opportunities to score. In fairness to Barkley, Adrian pulls off the save of the season to keep him out.

Obiang gets no such excuse.

Comfortable for Everton.

Lukaku got his usual goal against West Ham!

Chelsea since they lost Liverppol have looked very impressive and definitely one of the favourites for the title. The only thing that worries me is how the team is heavily dependant on Costa and Hazard because if any one of them gets injured then they will struggle to beat the top teams

Chelsea have got really good to watch. Fast going forward and tight defensively.

I'm still not sure if they'll win anything this season though.
