Liverpool failed to tag advantage golden opportunity to menggesr Machester United position in second position after losing 1-2 at Old Traford. And predicted Sadio Mane and his friends will be able to bombard the defense of Manchester United.
Indeed, throughout the match the Reds so look mighty with 70% mastery of the ball. The number of attacks and their chances even more than the Host. But talk about the 'effectiveness' MU is superior.
Despite appearing spartan there are some slit Liverpool that successfully exploited by troops Jose Mourinho. And some of them are the foresight of The Special One that is famous for being flexible in applying tactics.
Not Ready Alexander Arnold
Although not the only player who made a mistake, but the absence of Trent Alexander Arnold's alertness was so obvious last night. The 19-year-old players make a lot of mistakes and expose the weak points of the Liverpool defense.
MU's first goal also started from Arnold's mistake, where he successfully passed Marchus Rashford. Even with the second goal, Rashford's kick hit his foot so the ball turned.
Perhaps understandable, this is his first appearance as a starter at Old Traford. But still in an important game like this, nervous, nervous or nervous can not be an excuse.
Weak Liverpool back line
Again, this fundamental problem to be the culprit of the kekalan Liverpool. Although Dejan Lovren and Virgil Van Dijk are downgraded but still, the gap after slit keeps open.
Weak Liverpool back line that has been exposed to make counter-attack built by the Red Devils sagat effective.
Kehadrian the world's most expensive defender has not been able to answer the problem. Klopp must immediately rack my brain to find the right solution, at least they can be better prepared next season.
The ingenuity of a Jose Mourinho fox advantage becomes a weakness
We know Liverpool have a fast attacking style of play with three uplifted trident, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Firminho. But for Jose Mourinho Liverpool's advantage is precisely made as a weakness.
By applying the super-tight defense of the bus parking lot, Mou makes Liverpool trident dead ticks. Even Salah who used to appear dominant last night can not be separated from the guard Ashley Young.
With the death of practical motor sport Liverpool no longer his opportunity to add goals.
Skip mid, take advantage of a remote feed
In addition to successfully muffle the Liverpool cannon, Mourinho also apply a very deadly attack conter. Coach from Portugal this year that this Liverpool defense is very fragile. That's why he immediately chose to send the ball forward rather than playing it in the middle.
Every time David De Gea holds the ball, he will send it straight forward. Utilizing posture, Romelu Lukaku and Rashfrord more won the duel air duel. And the rest how they are able to take advantage of the weakness behind the back of Liverpool.
