Usually when Man Utd lose, you hear Sir Alex go on the telly and tell how the referee was crap, or the linesman was crap, or something was horrid but never that his side were outplayed and lost to opponents who played better and did well on the day.
Sir Alex's response to the BBC and even MUTV was... silence.

Dirt Kuyt became the first player since Beardsley in 1990, when Liverpool last won the league, to score a hat-trick in the Liverpool-Man Utd fixture. All of his goals met their strike from within the six yars box which says more than anything else that Man United have a leaky defence problem which needs to be plugged.

Javier Hernandes did manage to score a consolation goal in the 90th minute off a Ryan Giggs cross  but it barely even got a register from the home fans. What was fun was the turnaround of Liverpool fans of Man United's chant "We're Man United and we'll do what we want" to "You're Man United and you'll do what you're told."

Indeed there appears to be a total media blackout from Man United players and staff. The only comment which has been found by anyone comes courtesy of Twitter and Rio Ferdinand:


"Bad result today no excuses."

Perhaps Sir Alex knows that there is nothing and no-one to blame up himself and his players and the old adage that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything might be true because Sir Alex hasn't said anything nice for so long that he's actually incapable of it these days.

All I know is, that the silence is golden.
