Stats showcase how carelessness led to Liverpool dropping three points against Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool should’ve taken all three points against Manchester United during their last meeting. The Reds dominated large stretches of the game and only ended up with one point despite all their efforts.
Squawka has revealed that Liverpool’s 3.57 xG from the game against the Red Devils is the most they’ve had this season without getting away with a win. The team took 28 shots compared to United’s nine and had better opportunities to score in both halves.
Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz all three had golden opportunities to extend their team’s lead. However, a lot of misfiring and carelessness on attack allowed Erik ten Hag and his team to claw their way back into the game.
Liverpool are standing at a crucial point of their season and luck doesn’t seem to be on their side. If any of the Reds’ amazing chances during the first half had ended up in the back of the goal, they’d be on top of the league right now.
However, they are now leading behind Arsenal and are second because of GD. If the Gunners go 7/7 throughout the rest of the season, Liverpool will have to wave goodbye to their dreams of winning the Premier League title in Jurgen Klopp’s last season.
The Reds have allowed their rivals to take an advantageous position and will now be counting on them to fumble. While they wait for the Gunners to fall, Klopp and his boys will have to make sure that they’re doing everything perfectly.
