United killed us through the middle at OT and Liverpool overran us at Anfield. They were bad games for Mason and Bentaleb, but examples of where a more defence focused DM would be handy.
Incidentally, it was when Bentaleb was given the task of marking Fellani that the goals stopped.
No ManU did no kill us through the middle.
There CB bypassed our midfield, Fellenini was hit with the long diagonal ball right off centre he was winning the high ball and turning our defence....it wasn't the midfield that let us down it was the CB's not challenging Fellenini.
Don't know what game you were watching at Anfield it was an even sort of game I felt we were gradually getting onto then got hit with a goal from a ball out wide. I grant you at Anfield we made a few missed placed passes in midfield which resulted to Liverpool attacking our defence.
