As I said ages ago, the game was crying out for a striker. We left Sturridge on the bench until only 12 mins remaining. By that point, the team was done in, and Coutinho and Salah were withdrawn, with Firmino not long after.
What can a Striker do there? Score from corners???
Solid defence (albeit with little to do), and a clean sheet with Mignolet making one top save (not much else to do).
Midfield was fine, and when the game was flowing we got en forward well.
Unfortunately, it was our front three who did not do enough. Fancy touches, great control, and excellent play around the box. But when it came to put the ball in the net, they made snap shots and no real threat at all. Even so, should have scored in the 1st half.
Man Utd came to the game as favourites, but Mourinho was scared again and went for a draw. He got what he wanted - again. We didn't do enough - and Klopp stuck with the same system until all hope was gone.
Shout out to Gomez, Salah, and Coutinho who all played well. Moreno too put in a good shift!
