Arne Slot proven right again as Alexis Mac Allister agrees and Liverpool task in January clear

Liverpool: So, Liverpool had a bit of a rough patch against Manchester United, right? They’ve been on a roll against the lower teams, but this time, it felt like they dropped the ball.

Even though no one on the team would admit it, you could sense a bit of complacency creeping in. They were just too comfortable, especially at Anfield. And let’s be real, Manchester United showed up with their best game in ages.

Arne Slot, the manager, totally saw it coming. He mentioned how every match is a serious test, especially against a rival like United. He knew they had quality players who could turn the game around.

And guess what? He was spot on. Bruno Fernandes was on fire, and Liverpool just couldn’t keep up. They let United control the game way too much, especially in the first half.

After the match, Alexis Mac Allister said the result wasn’t good enough. They had chances to score but also gave away too many. It’s frustrating when you’re leading and can’t hold on.

He pointed out that they often only start playing when they’re behind, which isn’t ideal. Slot agreed, saying they had some good moments but struggled to find gaps against a solid defense.

It’s a mixed bag for Liverpool. Sure, they fought back to equalize, but they really need to tighten up their defense. This is the fourth time in eight games they’ve let in two or more goals. They’ve got to sort that out, especially with Arsenal lurking.

So, while there are positives to take away, the focus has to be on improving their defense in the coming weeks. It’s going to be an interesting January for them.
