Mourinho’s United Hold Liverpool To Stubborn Stalemate

Published

Jose Mourinho’s tactics at Anfield will again come under scrutiny after a 0-0 draw against a Liverpool side now with one win in eight.

Manchester United proved a stifling presence at Anfield once again as they closed out a 0-0 draw with Liverpool.

Jose Mourinho’s side were criticised for a lack of ambition in last season’s stalemate and any change in approach brought about by their lofty position in the Premier League was negligible on this occasion.

United took a somewhat pessimistic approach into the game, with striker Romelu Lukaku touching the ball just 22 times during the dour stalemate.

Liverpool had 19 shots during the game, and appeared dominant at times, but were unable to find a way past goalkeeper David De Gea.

The Spain international made a terrific save from defender Joel Matip in the first half, somehow deflecting the ball away with his leg.

And Klopp expressed his frustrations after the encounter.

“For sure you could not play this way at Liverpool, but it’s OK for Manchester United,” he said.
