Harry Maguire's pre-match interview before Manchester United played Liverpool was a classic example of a player failing to read the room. His comments were frankly stupid, arrogant and they looked even worse after the full-time whistle at Anfield.
Liverpool beat United 4-0 on Tuesday night. That heavy scoreline and the extent of Liverpool's dominance was depressingly predictable. There was a sad inevitability about the match even before it kicked off, and it developed as most expected. United fans were incensed when Liverpool won 5-0 at Old Trafford, but that anger has now evolved into a sadness.
The United players' performances have been a stain on the club's history this season and radical change is needed in the coming months. Ralf Rangnick suggested United could sign up to 10 new players in the summer, but there can't possibly be enough departures in just one transfer window to satisfy the overhaul that United need. The dressing room is rotten.
