Liverpool: Jamie Carragher recently praised Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, for his ability to quiet the Anfield crowd. Carragher pointed out how Liverpool struggled against Amorim’s tactical setup.
In a recent match, Liverpool had a chance to extend their lead in the Premier League but ended up with a 2-2 draw against their fierce rivals. It was a disappointing performance for the Reds, who were expected to dominate.
Despite being seen as underdogs, United managed to frustrate Liverpool, earning Amorim a lot of credit for getting his team to perform well. Carragher noted that Liverpool’s usual style just didn’t click that day.
He explained that when teams play different systems, it can throw players off. Liverpool seemed unsure about how to press United effectively, which kept the Anfield crowd from getting into the game.
Even though Liverpool had good chances, they never really got the crowd behind them. Carragher emphasized that it was Amorim’s system and the players’ movement that made a difference.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, seemed to agree, admitting that his team struggled against Amorim’s tactics. He mentioned how difficult it is to control the game when the opposing team plays long balls into the final third.
Slot acknowledged that while they needed to improve on the goals they conceded, it’s not easy to manage a game against a team that plays a different style. It was a tough match for Liverpool, and they’ll need to regroup moving forward.
