It was an entertaining watch, with a lot of goalmouth action, some of which would not have been appreciated by the LFC fans and coaches.Neither team looked better than the other, with Liverpool dominating the ball and creating a few chances, but so did Man Utd with their limited possession. Attacking FormationWe didn’t get to see the offensive shape of Liverpool until five minutes in after the early Man Utd goal and time for the game to settle down once again.

Slot lined up five Liverpool players up against the five Man Utd defenders, with Isak, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gakpo and Salah all pinning themselves up against the United backline.

Mo Salah and goal scorer, Cody Gakpo, both had a lot of the ball and both did very little with it.Alexander Isak had the best opportunity of the game, a wonderful pass by Konate in behind the defence of Utd, led Isak one-on-one and his shot was saved.Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League | Michael Regan/GettyImagesMo Salah in particular looks to be a real concern for Slot and his team, the Egyptian has had a poor start to the season and today’s game was no different.
