"We weren’t able to control their strengths," he conceded after defeat at Old Trafford."We were aware that they had strengths, two of them are set-pieces and the counter attack.

The first goal we concede is a set-piece and the second one you have to know where to lose the ball against United, who are really strong and aggressive in a low block and you play the ball into the middle where is Casemiro and Mainoo and their center-backs. That is exactly what happened."We were 2-0 down and came back in the second half to 2-2, but as always we were to switch off in one moment and conceded the goal."We had a lot of ball possession," he added.

"One of their strengths is also defending in a low block and [laucning] a counter attack. We went, in the first half, a little bit too much for the middle and they counter you."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCManchester United FCArne Slot
