3 Liverpool takeaways from enthralling draw with Man Utd

• Liverpool found it difficult to break United down and fell behind to Lisandro Martinez strike
• Hosts levelled through Cody Gakpo stunner before Mohamed Salah penalty put Reds ahead
• Late Amad equaliser earned Red Devils deserved point at Anfield

The lack of faith in Manchester United’s chances at Anfield was perfectly summed up by Liverpool boss Arne Slot press conference ahead of Sunday’s 2-2 draw. 

Incredibly, the first question the Dutchman faced related to whether. With the visitors languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, he might consider resting key men.

However, the gap between these sides was just as big last season. Yet the Reds failed to win any of their three meetings. 

As such, perhaps we should have seen https://ufabet999.app the Red Devils’ spirited performance coming, and yet more frustration for the hosts. When taking on their bitter rivals.

A disciplined back three defending well? Check. A pacey attack causing damage on the counter? Check. And a disappointing Anfield result? Check.

Even before Slot referenced it in his post-match press conferenc. Liverpool supporters could probably see the parallels with his sole defeat in charge. Which came against Nottingham Forest back in September.

Set up in the same way, United mimicked Forest’s success in frustrating. Their hosts and hitting them on the break across the 90 minutes.

Still, there is any upside to falling into the same trap again for Slot. It is that it has come just over a week prior to a rematch with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. Which will serve up an opportunity to show lessons have actually been learned this time around.
