Stakes are high, but we’re determined to keep pushing forward and win this point.
“I just wаnted to see,” Scott McTominay says of Manchester United’s decision to make Liverpool swap players before the game.
Scott McTominay has broken down the strategy that led to Liverpool’s early аssаult on the Kop in their match against Manchester United.
As United’s normal captain Bruno Fernandes was suspended for collecting five yellow cards against Bournemouth last weekend, the Scotland international was awarded the armband in his absence. Fernandes missed the 0-0 tie.
Plus, McTominay flipped the script after winning the coin toss, meaning Jurgen Klopp’s squad will аttаck the Kop in the first half instead of the second.When asked about the decision, McTominay replied that he was curious about the experience and wаnted to see how it would be. Look at their proposed game-start strategy. Starting tonight, we will make up ground.
Even though the Reds dominated possession, United goalkeeper Andre Onana was seldom challenged in Liverpool’s 11-0 home win over the Old Trafford club in their previous two matches.
A rapid start is to be expected when visiting this venue; we were aware of that from our brief visits last year, but the players executed a fantastic job today,” McTominay stated after the match. “I’m pleased with the outcome we achieved today as their leader.”
For starters, we’ve got a number of injuries, which is bad for the team. We’ve been playing a lot of games recently, so we weren’t in a groove with irregular teams and all that. Despite this, we stayed calm, stuck together, and had opportunities to punish them more in that game.
“Obviously, we’re disappointed we couldn’t make it more of a game, but I’m sure the boys will be pleased not to lose the game.”
