After reading some comments on here this morning I had to check with the wife to see if we watched the correct game this morning. I also took another look at it and it was almost the same as I remembered it.
Reality is we are not on the same page as Liverpool.If anyone disagrees I suggest you watch the game again. We certainly played better than I thought we would but we certainly did not deserve to win. The first 10 mins we looked good and Liverpool were terrible.I know that stats don't tell the whole story but I kept on all game about how poor our passing was. I just checked the pass accuracy and there it was.
Utd 67% Liverpool 84% The A league teams have a better rate than 67% We were absolute crap in that department. 68% Liverpool possession to our 32 % just about sums it up.
If we are to challenge for the EPL in a couple of years then at least six of those that played today will definitely not be there. I have been a passionate supporter of Utd for more than fifty years but I don't wear rose tinted glasses.
Last but not least. If in any doubt have a look at the EPL table and you will see that Liverpool have won 8 games---- we have won 2. Nothing more to say.
