Liverpool have been inconsistent this season but this has not stopped them from holding the fort against their biggest rival at home.

This was true once again as they walloped Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield.

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and record-breaking Mohamed Salah all scored twice, while wantaway Brazilian forward, Roberto Firmino added a seal on it with the seventh.

Ahead of the game, some Reds fans protested against club owners, the Fenway Sports Group by flying a plane with a banner proclaiming 'FSG out - Klopp in - enough is enough' as the players marched out, as reported by Express.

Some fans want FSG out

The American sports franchise put the club up for sale but later backtracked and ruled out a total sale, instead saying they were open to investment, as reported by Athletic UK.

This did not sit down well with some fans, who wanted the group out of the club entirely, lamenting a lack of investment and linking the success of the club under the owners to the expertise of Jurgen Klopp while utilising limited resources.

However, the majority of the reactions supported the owners and claimed those who flew the plane were not grateful enough to those who transformed the club.
