Those who watch the ball, judge the ball, sometimes may be more painful than the one who plays the ball.
In the early morning of April 20, Beijing time, the premier league's famous double red club was staged, and Liverpool sat at home to usher in the challenge of Manchester United.
Playing the game commentator at Sky Sports was Manchester United stars Gary Neville and Roy Keane, who said in the 21st minute: "I've been watching United's ball for 42 years and it's the worst Manchester United I've ever seen. This Manchester United team is absolutely crap! ”
Ferdinand expressed sympathy on social media: "I feel sorry that Gary Neville and Roy Keane had to do their work." ”
What kind of performance made the two celebrities so desperate and disappointed?
Looking back at the game, just five minutes into the opening, Liverpool scored a goal, Salah assisted and Luis Díaz scored easily.
What kind of counterattack will the trailing Manchester United make? The answer is no!
In the 22nd minute, Liverpool went down again, Salah scored, and the score became 2-0.
In the desperate half, Manchester United did not have a single shot on goal! With a shot of 0-9 and 24%-76% possession, United were beaten to the point.
I have to admire Lonnick's change of formation, admittedly, a number of players were injured, C Ronaldo was absent because of the premature death of the newborn dragon and phoenix fetus, it is an objective fact, but in the face of Liverpool, which is fast-paced in passing, Lonnick has a combination of three center-backs!
Phil Jones, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was in a key position! Playing seven inches, Liverpool took advantage of the tall and slow turn of Manchester United centre-backs again and again to launch attacks and penetrate the Red Devils' defence.
It is not to deny Phil Jones's efforts and ability, but because he has been in the squad for a long time, he really can't keep up with Liverpool's fast pace, and he should not appear in the starting lineup.
Not only Phil Jones, but United's left side has also become a loophole. Throughout the first half, Darot's body became an amusement park for Salah and Alexander-Arnold, and the left corridor he guarded was also the focus of Liverpool's onslaught.
In the second half, Lonnick swapped positions between Dalot and Wanbisaca. After Wan Bissaka became a left-back, the pressure on the left was slightly relieved.
Just after halftime, Lonnick made a substitution adjustment, replacing Phil Jones with Sancho, and this time the self-denial was immediate.
Although United were still under siege at the start of the second half, Sancho's appearance did change the situation, and he was able to break through quickly with the ball, at least so that Liverpool could defend.
It looks like the storm has suddenly changed and Liverpool are starting to retreat to their own half!
As it turned out, it was just an illusion. United saw the opportunity and the formation pressed up, which is exactly what Liverpool and Klopp wanted to see most.
In the 68th minute, Mane scored, and in the 85th minute, Salah scored another goal to lead the snake out of the hole, and Liverpool played more comfortable.
In this way, United lost 4-0 to Liverpool with only two shots on goal (less than Liverpool' goals). It was the second-largest two-legged aggregate defeat in the history of Manchester United (0-5 at home in the first leg), and the first place was the 1892-93 two-legged defeat to Sunderland in the league, 129 years ago.
After the game, Rashford's stats were taken out separately: 0 shots, 0 passes, 0 key passes, 0 crosses, 0 long passes, 0 fouls, 8 confrontations and 1 success, and the Manchester Evening News gave Rashford 2 points!
The manchester United scored the highest score in the whole team was Sancho, who scored 6 points.
With Marcus Rashford scoring 2 points was Ronnick, and the Manchester Evening News gave him the following assessment: 3 defenders are also tantamount to waving a white flag to surrender, and in addition, United do not have any offensive threats.
Maguire was rated 1 point and the Manchester Evening News commented on the brazen claim that he still deserved the starter and captain. Soon into the trap of Liverpool, he should have gone ahead of Jones and failed to defend Mane on the third goal.
In addition, Pogba, who left the field injured in the opening 10 minutes, scored 0 points!
With the end of the game, United have fallen to sixth place in the table, three points behind Tottenham, who have played one less game.
This is not the most terrifying thing, because, in the next two Premier League games, Manchester United's opponents are Arsenal, Chelsea, see you in the European Cup next season? Are United ready?
