Manchester United struggled to beat a combative Liverpool 3-2 that showed serious defensive shortcomings in the absence of Matip, Van Dijk, among others and Joe Gomez. The figures in the contest were Mason Greendwood and Marcus Rashford.
As mentioned above, Klopp has been forced to improvise a defensive saga that has failed to provide the expected security. In the Premier League, he played five games without a win.
Fabinho offers an interesting start from the bottom, but fails to be Virgil Van Dijk, or Joe Gomez or Joel Matip. Even more so if he has to lead this line alongside the young Williams who is starting to take his first steps.
Despite advancing on the scoreboard, through Mohamed Salah in the 18th minute after an excellent pass from Roberto Firmino, the ‘Reds’ did not know how to manage the confrontation. This was taken advantage of by Manchester United.
After a fine move down the middle Marcus Rashford nearly gave the home side a goal after 29 minutes. The finishing shot went just wide, though.
Courtesy would be back starting in the second half. Marcus Rashford would now be enabled by Mason Greenwood and so the 2-1 would be decreed. However, 10 minutes later, Salah would appear to score his double in the match.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a disastrous appearance. Fred and Bruno Fernandes reluctantly made way for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the pitch. Precisely, the latter, would be responsible for giving the ticket to the round of 16 in the 78th minute.
