As many people predicted before the game, Manchester United will face the old rival Liverpool at home, it will definitely not be a simple hello and I am good, although Liverpool is a noble championship team, although Manchester United's state this season is worrying, but the two teams still go back and forth, playing a 2-2 tie, and also make the fierce game situation once again become a classic in the history of the competition between the two teams.

Liverpool lost in a missed opportunity

In a word, Liverpool lost this game in a wasted opportunity. With 28 shots in 90 minutes and a total of 7 shots on target, the stats are good enough, but only 2 goals were scored, which is too much worse than the xOG (Expected Goals) of 3.59. In addition, Liverpool, who suppressed Manchester United, also got 62% control, and if you take out the lack of physical strength in the second half of the game, their possession rate is above 70%, and Manchester United really have few chances.

For example, in the 3rd minute, Szobosloy's single knife was saved by Onana;

For example, in the 18th minute, Robertson's horizontal sweep to the middle could not be outflanked by 4 points;

For example, in the 30th minute, Cambuvara made a mistake but was ignored by Liverpool;

For example, in the 33rd minute, Salah made consecutive mistakes and missed the goal of Manchester United with excellent chances;

For example, in the 53rd minute, Salah and Nunez lost the ...... again

Wait a minute.

Manchester United have found their former feel

On the other hand, the Red Devils are basically in the main defensive situation, they do not have many scoring opportunities (1-7 with Liverpool), and the shots in the box are less than half of the opponent's goals, but in such a relative disadvantage, they still keep the one point they want and continue to fight for the four major causes.

Clearly, United 'like' this style of play. In the season when they won the Asian Games and created the best results in recent years, their main focus was the style of rapid counterattack + youth storm, which is also the basis for many supporters to want to be coached. When facing the giants, the Dutchman Ten Hag will generally come up with this set of things, rely on being suppressed by the enemy, keep the gate from losing, and then quickly counterattack the sneak attack to score points.

Although, this may not seem like a big club, however, this is the main strategic design of Manchester United. And it worked. In those games dominated by Manchester United, about half of the time they were able to kill the opponent and win by a big score, and the other half of the time, they were basically upset and pressed by the opponent, and the effect of autonomous control was not very good. It's not as cost-effective as this "suppressed".

In fact, Manchester United's goal in the second minute after the start of the game was an excellent example. Although Garnacho was later found to be offside, Bruno's passing intention was very obvious, and on the basis of Liverpool's crazy suppression, their counter-attacking speed was too fast, and the individual talents of the youngsters had the possibility of being truly stimulated.

In retrospective, the two sides have opposite styles

In the 24th minute, Liverpool, who continued to suppress, got the opportunity to score from a corner kick, which was also an inevitable advantage. Prior to this, Manchester United's defence was very flat, especially on the flanks, which gave the opposition too many chances. Of course, this is not to say that United are inefficient in their arrangement, mainly because Liverpool's attacking efficiency on both flanks is simply too good. After all, they're a championship contender.

In the 50th minute, Bruno's midfield hanging door was the "culmination" of Manchester United's tactics, this time, they didn't have to counterattack, and directly relied on Bruno's long-range shot to complete four or two thousand pounds. Of course, Kwanza is responsible, but the youngster will not be blamed too much, and no one thought that Bruno would get off the ground. On the one hand, it is a demonstration of his personal ability, and on the other hand, it is also intentional by the manager.

Manchester United and Ten Hag, who have cleared their positions, are still okay. If they had worked hard to defend and counter-attack, they would have done much better than they had done at this point. At least it won't be so hard to fight for a Champions League qualification.

In the 69th minute, Menou's goal was very good, which also came from the combination of Manchester United's quick attack in the middle and on the wing, and Liverpool did not "choose" when Menou shot at goal, 4 people surrounded him and did not "choose to open", which shows the repetition of the run and the unnaturalness of the position. Of course, Mainou's big-picture attributes are really good, and this is the Nth time he has saved Manchester United this season.

In the 82nd minute, Liverpool continued to press down Wan-Bissaka to make a mistake, and he sent a point to degrade the team's three points into one. Of course, with Liverpool's pressing strength, even if Wan-Bissaka doesn't make mistakes, others will make mistakes. After all, the pressure brought by the championship team is not a half-star.

遗憾,可能

Overall, Liverpool's performance in this game is really a pity, they have too many chances, and the suppression of Manchester United has not been able to convert into relatively many fatal blows, a little helpless. For Manchester United, it is more important to be able to recognise what kind of game is suitable for them than to get a point against the opposition. If they can keep the pressure high and play counter-attacks every game, then Manchester United will definitely be better than they are now.

It's just that as a giant, will they accept such a game strategy? As a fan of a giant, will they approve of the team's play?

It was a shame for Jurgen Klopp, who could have taken the old rival to add points to his title campaign. Unfortunately, in the next game, the chance tolerance rate they can be allowed to be allowed is relatively lower.
