3. Individual Mistakes
Manchester United delivered a performance deserving of three points but were once again undone by individual errors.
Matthijs de Ligt’s decision to dive in on Cody Gakpo led to a needless penalty, gifting Liverpool the opportunity to take the lead and derailing United’s chances of victory.
For United to achieve consistent results, these costly mistakes must be eradicated.
A single lapse in concentration can undo an otherwise strong team performance, and fixing this issue will be crucial if Ruben Amorim’s side are to climb the table.
4. Amorim Substituions
Ruben Amorim’s substitutions were spot-on against Liverpool.
Recognising Trent Alexander-Arnold’s struggles, he introduced Alejandro Garnacho to exploit the space down Liverpool’s right-hand side.
This decision proved to be a masterstroke, as Garnacho’s driving runs caused chaos and led to the assist for Amad Diallo’s equaliser.
Amorim also brought on Lenny Yoro to bolster United’s defence as the game opened up.
Yoro’s composure was evident, highlighted by a crucial goal-saving sliding tackle late in the match.
Once again, Amorim showcased his tactical nous, making impactful changes at key moments.
5. Something to Build on?
This performance could mark a turning point for Manchester United.
Holding the league leaders at Anfield and showing resilience under pressure provides a foundation for Ruben Amorim’s side to build on.
If they can cut out the individual mistakes and maintain this level of intensity, it could spark the turnaround United desperately need.
