The hype was on but a loss was stacked up against Manchester United all through out. The current form, of the team, injury to defenders and pressure on the manager was not what the players wanted going int the game.
First half
Started with some hope with a good move by Manchester United but the final shot was skied by Bruno and then it was Liverpool all the way. Once Liverpool was in with the first, Manchester United was playing a formation that no one would understand or rather amateurs. Four players bothered about running forward and the other six trying to form a line in front of DeGea. No one was bothered about intercepting passes or even taken on the player with the ball...quite literally. Within no time it was 0-4 for the visiting team.
Second half
The walk into the tunnel for Ole was the worst he has seen all this time in Old Trafford, a long lonely walk with words that he would have never heard from a ManUtd fan before that moment hitting his ears. A cruel position indeed but that how competitive the game is.
The line up for Manchester United was not shot of experience or skill, but yet we saw ball watching players. Coaches will beat us on our bottom side if we would do that even in practice matches. Pogba's tackle wasn't the one that is needed and saw red for it. which only compounded the misery. Post that it was all game at walking phase
What went wrong
Rashford, Ronaldo, Bruno and Greenwood never troubled the Liverpool attack even when the ball was played from the back. Fred and McTomny were dragged too deep for defending and there was no link up play. Once the first goal was scored it was all down hill with absolutely no link up play from defence to offence and poor work rate from the front four, absolutely no pressure on the opposition. End of the day, there was absolutely no game plan, with will only point fingers on the Manager.
