I'm a bit surprised, Manchester united seems to be putting a lot of pressure on Liverpool even though they are supposed to use home advantage and also considering the fact that united only has a 15% percent chance of winning this game made me feel like Liverpool was supposed to win in the first half. Scoring just in the second minute into the game is crazy, I don't think Liverpool is coming out of this one

Manchester United are playing great today and they scored the first goal early in the game which put Liverpool under pressure. Bruno Fernandez, Casimiro, Cunha are playing great. If Manchester United can score another goal in the first half then it will be very difficult for Liverpool to get back into the game today. In the first half Liverpool are trying hard to get back into the game especially Isak, Virgil, Gicpo, M.Salah, Konati but so far they have not been successful yet. Let's see what they do in the rest of the minutes. I think Manchester United will win today.

Everyone believes this match will be an easy win for Liverpool. Man Utd are so bad that bookmakers gave them a 5.00 odds to win. Even after they beat Sunderland, nobody believes that United are back to winning ways even the fans find it hard to trust the team.

Manchester United are already leading by one goal at the beginning of the game. They are playing relatively well today. In football matches, surprises can come at any time, so it is not possible to say in advance which team can win. However, the players of both Manchester United and Liverpool are working hard to snatch victory, but it is not possible to say which team will win yet.

In the first 45 minutes, Manchester United scored 1 goal ahead. There are still 45 minutes left.
Some people on other topics are too confident that Liverpool will win. Maybe it is based on the analysis that Manchester United is not a strong team.
Lammens continued what he did in his debut match. In this match, Lammens was my highlight because this 23 year old goalkeeper appeared very confident with very good reflexes amidst the hard work of the Liverpool players to equalize the score throughout the first half.

Amorim continued to maintain his principles by backing up Yoro and selecting Maguire and backing up Dorgu and giving his trust to Dalot. Yoro and Dorgu are in top form, but that's Amorim. He has control.
Let's go second half.

The first half just ended, and Manchester United were able to defend their early lead against Liverpool at Anfield.  Yes, both Manchester United and Liverpool played very well in the first half, and they also created pretty chances but both teams weren't clinical enough to utilise their chances. I am impressed with the way Manchester United defenders performed in the first half, but they should do better in the second half if they want to defend their one goal and beat Liverpool.

Liverpool, you're breaking my heart. Don't lose against these lot.

Most certainly not everyone. We hoped at the very least that Liverpool would manage it to a win but, it seems a win is very far from them as possible in this fixture.

Liverpool has been in a state of decline in this season, following their performance. Salah was very instrumental to their success last season and has fallen short on performance this season as we can see. Liverpool have always survived this season with a last minute goal and that seems to have ran out on them.

Manchester United might not be a very strong side but, they are not a team that can’t hold on to a win if they see it. This match is most certainly looking like a game Liverpool wouldn’t be able to come back from.

In the first 45 minutes, Manchester United scored 1 goal ahead. There are still 45 minutes left.

The first half ended 1 -0. Although we consider liverpool as the favorite team, Manchester United is ahead at the end of the first half. Mbeumo scored just 2 minutes  into the match. Liverpool was probably not ready to  concede such a goal so quickly.
I thought we would see Liverpool's dominance in the match. But it can not be said that Liverpool dominated in the first half. Manchester United is performing well today. Even after scoring a goal in just 2 minutes, they are not playing defensively. We saw several strong attacks from United players in the first half. As a result, Liverpool's defense is also under  pressure

[Woodie]

Looking back at Liverpool's current form, I think they need this win more than Utd and am loving the pressure they have put on United ever since they went down by a goal and mahn Gapko is really putting United fans on their toes !!

1-1, and I had United for the win at 1-0

Maguire for the lead!!

You know what,  Sir Maguire needs to take jersey 10

Liverpool had the sight of sharing points for a minute but, they watched it flicker from their eyes with the Harry Maguire’s goal.

Liverpool 1:2 Manchester United

Now they have a whole lot of work to do and the time is quickly running out on them.
I just knew it was very unlikely that there would be any coming back from this. The best they could hope for is that they get that draw but even that too is not looking easy. The pressure is on, they’ve got the plus minutes to make it work or they drop points yet again.

It is 2-1 for the Red Devils now. A really quick answer by them thanks to Maguire!    He is such an unpredictable player though. If the game ends this way, he will be the hero for his team.

Unbelievable... Liverpool are still horrible. I thought maybe the international break could change things. But it seems like Arne Slot is still in search of a plan to fix this very bad form. And it will be a really happy night for Amorim that's for sure.

Man united has completed it 2 goals so far, unbelievable to me that they would have scored Liverpool more goal this few minutes left until the final whistle, I did say it last week that Liverpool vs Manchester United game usually go otherwise and now the whole thing is about to unfold, this will make the tope 4 spot become so competitive at the moment if Liverpool finally drop off points in this game.

[Just Say]

This season is definitely going to be a controversial one especially for Liverpool Football Club, as we have already witnessed them conceding four consecutive defeats, there are also Champions League matches included. I was suddenly shocked to see this match today, because Man United won the match. Man United club has proven that they have changed their style of football at Anfield, but Liverpool Football Club players missed a lot of chances in this match, as a result they could not draw this match, even winning it was a very challenging task for them. Mohamed Salah's impact was negligible in this match of the new season, despite being so intelligent, he failed to take advantage of many opportunities. Liverpool Football Club's turnaround in form seems a bit questionable to me, actually the main reason why most of their potential players are not able to make a big impact is that they are not able to maintain the right tactics.

Liverpool 1 Vs Manchester United 2 FT
Salah lost it this time around as he failed to score against the EPL team his scored most goals against. He has made 18 appearances including this very game and scored 16 times against them so far. Salah would have gotten his goal in the first half but he was denied by the woodwork and again in the second half, but he blasted the shot away inches wide after been presented with a chance to try and turn it in. It was a nice game overall and both teams played impressively.

What is the real problem with Liverpool ? They have a very strong squad. The players in the squad are talented. Liverpool also has an experienced coach like Arne slot. But even  then the team is not able to play well. Perhaps  Arne slot's match strategy is outdated. And this strategy  is not working in the premier league. And this is why the team has faced three consecutive defeats.
iverpool is 4  points behind Arsenal. And they are 1 point behind City. City performed very poorly at the beginning of the season. But at the moment the team is in good form. On the other hand , Liverpool did well at the beginning  of the season, but now they have lost the truck

Deep down I was having this strong believe that Manchester United was going to win this game and it actually happened I was judging from Liverpool current performance and it's not pleasant so i have this believe and lo and behold Manchester United prove me right and for Liverpool this is the fourth times they are losing match after all the spendings in the transfer market like this is really embarrassing and they seems not to notice it and it very bad, they should better do something about this thing before it gets out of hand

[Africolo]

What's with Manchester United bullying big teams and losing to smaller teams since last season; if they had put the type of performance against smaller teams they would be doing well on the table. Was telling some of my friends before this game that Amorim is better manager in tougher games, he knows how to get results in tougher and unexpected games. A good result for him and a good reason to trust him to build the team.

Liverpool on the other hand has been awful being poor this season, won so many lucky games early in the season with late goals.

Isak Horrible Stat

🚨 Alexander Isak vs Man United:

• 0 GOALS
• 0 ASSISTS
• 0 chances created
• 1 shot on the target
• 1 big chance missed
• 7 accurate passes

Sorry, am I the only one that believes that Isak has made the worse mistake of his career. Dude would have been faithful with his team just after this season or his contract expires. This karma is so fast.
This stat I saw above does not in any way representate Isak. Something is seriously wrong and might not go well any sooner.
Rate Isak...

Some players are best left where they're Kings and not try to change their environment or move them to a bigger club. Not everyone does well at bigger clubs I remember Benteke and Carroll making the same big more come from Aston Villa and Newcastle United respectively to Liverpool and flopped.

I'm not going to criticize Isak as it's too early to do so but I'm not convinced yet and it's hard to defend him right now.

How would you know if you don’t move. Well, this decision could have been better left with the players, but hat they are enjoying should have been enough to make them stay but, the quest for trophy and more glory I. Order leagues do make them move. Isak was good at Newcastle United but, drew his lot with Liverpool and it’s not been been what he thought I suppose.

We saw Hazard move to Real Madrid, he didn’t do so well with the injury problems but he got the desired UCL trophy. Harry Kane is one player that is enjoying every bit of his move.

Manchester United’s dominance over Liverpool today shouldn’t come at much surprise, Liverpool aren’t at their best.

Both teams did play an impressive game, especially Manchester united who almost everyone has already resigned to having another poor performance and a loss. Salah did have some good opportunities to score that would have likely gave Liverpool the win in the end. I had predicted both teams having a goal but like plenty other people, didn't think United had it in them to win the game. Liverpool did have lots of opportunities for goals as they had more time with the ball.
It was a great game as with United's win, they've ignited the fire back in their supporters. An impressive performance for United to manage to put one in at the end to seal their win.

[IceLincoln]

Liverpool, you're breaking my heart. Don't lose against these lot.

They ended up doing that! So heartbreaking, Liverpool now has serious problem this is a small dip in form any longer they need to get their shits together. I’m not sure even Man United fans would have predicted a win against Liverpool, it’s very shocking to see this score line and 5 odds gone to waste.
When Manchester United won against Sunderland we all thought it was a fluke but now it seems they’re going really coming back in form cause they played so well against Liverpool and got the most important 3 points, Arsenal is sitting pretty at the top now, happy for this results.
