United don’t score enough
How Liverpool crippled Man United
United are not a team that scores without goals, but their results have been so impressive lately that it masks a problem that won’t be resolved until the summer. They missed too many excellent chances at Anfield and it was somehow inevitable that they would be punished. They let Liverpool off the hook.
Fred played it sideways
Gakpo has rarely been under goal for Liverpool and it’s typical that he scored against United.
Fred played it from the side and United now have a challenge ahead of them.
AIM! Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United | Cody Gakpo 50
50 mins: Devastating end for Gakpo as the Dutchman smashes De Gea into the top corner after a fine ball from Salah.
AIM! Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United | Darwin Nunez’47
47 mins: Superb start to the second half as Nunez comes close after Man United make a meal of cleaning up their lines!
AIM! 7-0 LIVERPOOL!
It was to be Gakpo who United wanted to sign this summer.
The attacker cuts inside and places the ball in the lower right corner. Liverpool bad with the ball
Games between these two rarely live up to the hype and this one is no exception. It’s been really low quality stuff so far. United started hesitantly but have grown, probably aware that Liverpool seem to have little harm to them. Their use of the ball so far has been mediocre. It is United who produce the best, if not the only, quality moments when in possession. Fabinho reserved
First yellow card of the match for a foul on Rashford.
Incredible pass from Casemiro
Casemiro just played the assist of the match but Liverpool defended the situation well.
