If you had told me that we were 1-0 down against a United team that played in the style they did, and if you had told me that we had created eight, nine, ten open chances, then I would have said to you that I don't think that is possible."
"The former Feyenoord boss also lamented the fact that his side once again conceded from a set-piece. Overall, it was a bad day at the office for LFC and it will be interesting to see if they can turn things around after four consecutive defeats. So many of the new signings don't seem to be clicking and the stars of last season like Mohamed Salah have gone backwards as well."
Manchester United set up with a low block and relied on many long balls in a 2-1 win at Anfield, disrupting Liverpool’s game. Liverpool created numerous clear chances but converted only once, with Alexander Isak missing a notable opportunity and Cody Gakpo hitting the post three times.
