 No, we had a lot of good football, but of course, the trend was great fight, good game, intense, how Derby should be. And since I'm at Liverpool the first win at Old Trafford, good timing I would say, we needed it obviously. We fought hard for it, we deserved it and so all good. Where did it come from? Do you think that victory tonight? Top goals, good goals, we reacted really well on their goal, obviously was unlucky in that moment. But it was a bit like we started the game to be honest, the defending in that moment, letting Bruno from the half right side going inside and there was nobody. So he could have used his left, he used the outside of his right foot and it was unlucky in the centre, but the defending in that moment wasn't good. So we had to overload the wings obviously and we didn't adapt well on that in the first 15 minutes or so. Then we got control there and from that moment on we could play what we wanted to play and that was then absolutely okay and second half even better. Was a big part of your performance tonight, Alexander Arnold's performance, his radar like passing? Yeah, it was good, I saw only good performances to be honest. You saw that our two centre halves might be a little bit shaking in the beginning of the game, we could see that with the passing but in the moment when they were in the game, when they forgot everything around, they played a really good game. We had a lot of good football but of course Trent was in a proper shape tonight, played pretty much everything. We had it there to adapt as well in the first half, Huckbar fixed him too often defensively like when we just did and then Luke was free. So we had to be more braver there, we did that and in that moment they couldn't chip the ball to show anymore and they lost another little tool and that's how we step by step got control of the game as much as you can control them because they obviously have a lot of qualities, scored a really good goal, the 2-3. And then it's of course tricky but it makes an absolute sense to score the fourth one which was really nice. Did you absolutely need that fourth goal? Yeah, you need that. It was a game that they, how long was the play, a minute plus extra time, maybe five minutes altogether. Two goals, we didn't play that bad that it looked like that so it was very intense for all of them, I really thought Midfield played outstandingly well but it was super intense when Curtis came on that helped a lot when you have then the speed of Sadio that helps and all these kind of things so we could make the three changes were really good and then he co-villains a few minutes at least defending the wing so it was good. Spals all around, apart from Sadio Mane on the final whistle, we didn't look too happy with you. Is there a problem there? No, there's no problem. Yesterday I made a late decision in training to decide for Diogo and the boys are used to their explain things usually but there was actually no time for that and that's all fine. What does this do now, this result in terms of your desire to get into, not your desire, the possibility? It was necessary, without this result we don't have to talk too much about it so we are still in the game in the race, that's all what we could have done tonight, we did that and now we have a very intense period now, we're playing out the next three games in a week, so in three days West Brom which is tough, Burnley with supporters and then Crystal Palace are at home, we're obviously looking forward to for different reasons because our supporters are then there as well hopefully and so that's it now, very intense. We have to recover quickly and then to go again. Tonight did we see parts of the game, you back to your best? I'm not so much interested because it's not about that. We played a lot of good stuff, I really liked how our midfield was connected always when we played in the front three, really together when we were close and when we played wide but found the centre then, went in behind the line all together, it was a lot of good stuff, it's not to compare really, it's a different team, it's a different year and I'm not too interested in it, we played a good game and we played good enough to win and we had other teams here and didn't win so obviously we did some stuff right tonight. What brought about that defeat? They deserved to win, we conceded goals in bad moments of the key moments of the game just before halftime, just after the second half started and of course towards the end we didn't call it build on the momentum or break up momentum, first 10-15 minutes I thought we played really well we should have built on that momentum and maybe pushed more and then we give them three goals really, at least two of them we give them and then when we score again we've got momentum, we have a massive double chance there so key moments went against us. Too many individual errors as well, we were a bit sloppy in some passages in the ball away more than normal. Yeah, they're shape and they're pressing, they're very aggressive, they're very good press and of course we created our own, I can't even speak now, our own downfall because the second goal we probably expect no foul there because it's not really a foul but the referee probably gives a foul because Bruno is up there and it's a bad moment to concede a goal in just before halftime and as I said the start of the second half was really really poor that's a third goal we gave him. Do you think missing Harry Maguire is a factor, not just in his individual position but his presence across the team? Harry's been really important for us and really good and he's been absolutely top since he came to the club so of course we're going to miss him but he's out so we've got to deal with that we've got good enough players to be able to deal with it, we should be so now it's about regrouping, start building our own confidence and momentum again because we've got two games in the league and then the final. You say they were good, they pressed hard it's an element that perhaps they wanted it more because they're fighting for it, you're already safe for Champions League No, the attitude was right, the focus was I saw in the boys this afternoon that we were ready for it and then games as I said key moments went against us we didn't really, as I said, build on the good times especially the start of the game I thought we should go more for it and when we lose the ball up they go and win it back sometimes we let them off the hook, we let them play out and then they're hard to defend against as you said your Champions League football is assured but how quickly do you return to form because of course you have a huge final Tuesday, we need to find ourselves straight away we've got Fulham on Tuesday and we need to start, as I said, building that momentum and confidence because two games it's not a lot of preparation but we should go into that final ready because I expect Tuesday to be a good one Once again this was played against the backdrop of the protest it will be the same again on Tuesday Is that having the effect on you all the team? Well of course when the little bit of the preparation it's different and the games that came here together in five days three league games of course it disrupts it a little bit so it's not been ideal but we've had to deal with it and we've come through it now and hopefully when we can let the fans in on Tuesday it'll be a good atmosphere here We've been waiting for a long long time to let them in so it's about the time we enjoy the game together Can you sum up that game, that result and what it means? Not really to be honest it was a rollercoaster, it was a strange game and it took a lot from us a lot of hard work it was an ugly match but we had to make it that way at the end to make sure that we got the result and what it means to us is it's another step in the right direction we've got another three games to go but tonight was a big night for us You started off with a horrible deflection for the first goal then you have a penalty given and overturned at that point you sound to think this is just one of those nights it's not going for us I think we started quite slow so we knew that despite the things that were happening at the start we still had an extra gear so I didn't feel too worried anyway and I don't think the other boys did because we knew that we weren't performing at the level that we could do and it was just a matter of time before we turned it around and got ourselves together and started game playing the way that we should do Did you show character to do that do you think? Yeah I think so, certainly to come from behind it's always difficult so yeah I would say so Horrible moment for you, was there just nothing you could do about it? I reacted too late because I thought it was going wide at first and then I seen the ball starting to curl inwards and at that point I thought I've got to get this clear but I couldn't get my leg up in time and it's bounced off I shouldn't have gone in it's one of those things you get them when you're playing centre back trying to block the ball from going in the net Will you be pleased now it wasn't given as a known goal Oh that's good news, yeah I am pleased to hear that What did this do for you and your quest for Champions League football this result? It takes us closer and there were three points and you know it's no secret that our objective is and sort of it's necessary for us to win all our remaining games and that's enough one ticked off but we've got to pick ourselves up after tonight and dust ourselves down and get ready for the next game we can enjoy it tonight but focus is straight on to the next game You've clawed yourself back closer to the teams above you what does it throw into the fascinating mix the fact that they play each other next week as well in the Premier League? Well yeah it just makes it more interesting doesn't it but we can't look away from our own camp too much because we can't have an effect on that the other teams will do what they do all we can effect is the games that we play in so no matter what happens elsewhere in the league we've got to concentrate on doing our job What does this give you for those remaining games tonight? Something to build on and learn from you know we started too slow so we can learn from that and know that we can't do that in the future games but obviously take confidence from it that we managed to bring ourselves back into the game manage the game at the end like we've struggled to do in a few previous games so plenty but like I said we can't focus on tonight too much we've got to turn our focus on the next few games and finish the job that we've got ahead of us Great stuff Nat, well done Thanks a lot, cheers At that stadium so Michael choose an adjective to describe that and the meaning for it for Liverpool Massive game, massive result they're right back in contention now as I said before the game I thought they needed ten points out of the four to have a chance, 12 I'm pretty sure if they get 12 out of 12 then I'm pretty sure they'll be playing Champions League football next season this was the big one, this was the one that you think going to Old Trafford, Manchester United some team, especially at home don't give much away, so to win there and now have three winnable games to go while their opponents, while their competitors have got some tough ones and actually play each other that's a huge result tonight Yep, they've got a spring in their step Did we see one team with more meaning on the fixer than the other? Yeah, probably Liverpool thoroughly deserved the win I thought they were much, much the better team I thought United we said before the game that the squad isn't strong enough to challenge for the league I think we saw that tonight bringing Maguire, sorry Maguire being injured was a big miss, just that steady, calming influence they looked all over the place at the back really conceded a lot of chances, obviously conceded four goals, goalkeeper again was less than convincing, let's say I'm sure we'll analyse the goals later and have a look at that and going forward they didn't really create as much as as much as you would have liked I know they've scored the two goals but still against a centre-half pair in Liverpool which is very inexperienced, very young you'd expect more from United Oh I can spot the score line in the way the game went for you No, I think Liverpool were by far the better team they actually played like everything was at stake for them and United were just second best so I think Jürgen Klopp will be delighted with his players in their response, four goals at Old Trafford they played like everything was at stake for them and it showed, I think for United they just weren't there in so many phases A very eventful Premier League week which of course began with Manchester United at Old Trafford and a defeat and more importantly a highly significant win for Leicester City then a return to winning ways for Southampton and then the big shock in terms of the top four race Arsenal's league double over Chelsea just a second Premier League defeat for Thomas Tuchel the gunners winning 1-0 in West London no goals, Everton couldn't get three points to go into the top five earlier drawing nil-nil at Aston Villa but Liverpool have gone there just their second winning 16 seasons in the Premier League away at Manchester United by four goals to two well this top eight has changed significantly in the last three days and the last fixture to do it is highly significant Liverpool up to fifth 60 points, two above West Ham four off fourth still with a game in hand remember West Brom away next then Burnley away and Palace at home remaining for Liverpool and that door to the Champions League is still a jar significantly for Liverpool he had an eventful night didn't he so he's mightily relieved that he hasn't been credited with an own goal and that of course was the goal that started us off in the first half and it hasn't been credited to Nat Phillips to Bruno Fernandez and this was the slow start he was talking about though but you have to credit United you know played some good stuff good switch from Pogba Rashford recogniser run from Wambi Saka great little chop back there and Bruno sits into that little pocket as it goes he said good first touch I agree I think it's bending kind of more towards the goal with the outside of his foot and see Bruno he's so good sitting on those little pockets of space I think Moe highlighted the fact that at half-time there he probably just gets a yard too far over which makes it easy for Bruno to come inside I love the fact that Bruno just tries everything you know with his outside of his foot yeah well that's the ability he's got great first touch he's seen for being those gone too far and that imagination then to bend it he knows he's got the ability to do it to bend it in that far corner that's what he's trying to do and that's what we think was going to happen the response was positive wasn't it yeah I mean it had to be it had to be positive you know not many teams come from behind against Manchester United they normally do it to other teams and the ball it's a bit of a scruffy goal from there but great reaction from from Jota Philips managed to wriggle free I do think Wambasaka has his man there I just think if he leaves it you know it's got to be some finish from that Philips going away from goal to hit it just leave the keeper to deal with that you just stick to your man I think by the time the ball comes in he's left this man and as I say your eyes are light up normally you're trying to find space in the middle of the goal they're trying to make a movement but actually Wambasaka makes it easy for him Jota doesn't have to move the muscle the ball just falls to his feet and that was one one and then a pretty basic goal really they considered just before half time Paul yeah they did Pogba will be disappointed if he set it half time he lets his man get in front of him that's the last thing he can do as a defender there especially around the back and you see him there he knows he's done and it's a little scrambled to try and get it back he falls over his off balance and he's costing out of the goal really although Trent's it a really good ball and as I say I thought he was really good on the net Alexander and I thought he was the best player on the pitch and for me he was a good header as well so that was just before half time and straight after it a gift for Liverpool from a central midfielder's point of view talk us through this just don't go with the press on Steve don't go and receive the ball there and never play square my managers always told me never play square Luke Shaw makes a bit of a mess of it coming inside runs into a blind alley there and then Trent the Scoles he said was just so good Dean had a pretty awkward night Dean Henderson you know that there he's been unlucky there but Scoles do you think he should be receiving that on the straight line? I think teams since Peppers come over here especially I've become obsessed with even passing the ball to Lindelof on the six yard box I just don't get what that's about unless you've got centre halfs and central midfield players with unbelievable ability now there's only two things Fred can do there he's facing his own goal he can only hit it back to Lindelof or he can go square now if he gets any of that wrong this is going to happen it's going to create a big mistake and they're going to score a goal or get a chance Luke Shaw then tries to make amends for Fred's mistake and then another mistake by Dean Henderson it's been I'd say three of the four goals not so much his fault but I think he'd be disappointed with his contribution to them what do you think on that? Yeah well I think there's the three mistakes that lads have highlighted there are obvious ones the first one is the one for me I mean there's no better people to talk about than sitting midfielders I used to get that ball as a centre forward and I hated it up there because half the time you get a ball and you think the best I can do here dropping it into my feet is give it your back that's the very very best big chance of me taking a touch someone nicking in or me giving it away first set highlighted there the best he can do is go back to his goalkeeper he's tried to pass it to his left back and that's not worked he's slightly miskicked it but that's a best scenario I can just keep the ball and we're still in the six yard box I mean look at what can he do he can go back to Bayee maybe but then he's going to get pressed he goes to Luke Shaw he gives the ball I just don't know what the best scenario out of that whole thing is the best scenario is Michael don't do it I'd say when our team are playing you say we're a good footballing team we never did stuff like that played it on your six yard box he sent it off and then try and play out from the edge of the box it just never ever happened now some teams can do it Manchester City can do it, Barcelona's did it brilliant at it but if you've got the players for it these players aren't suited to that we're seeing our mistakes Fred makes OK so that was pivotal at 3-1 Liverpool had a chance to just put the whole thing to bed didn't they with Jotter he did yeah he did and I don't think he did loads wrong to be honest again it was a good move a quick move, lovely first touch into his path to take the ball away from all the defenders I actually think of anything Henderson does well here he actually sprints at him and makes a big decision if only he had done that for the last chance when Mo Salah scored because I thought he made it really easy I know we'll go on to that goal in a minute he doesn't make you panic but he makes you make a decision quickly there the way he ran and I don't think Jotter did a whole lot wrong but as I say we go on to the last goal and I think Henderson makes it so easy for Mo Salah he should have taken a leaf out of his own book in that instance and and sprinted at Salah at the last minute well before that last goal when it was very comfortable Marcus Rashford made it a little uncomfortable for Liverpool at 3-2 the nerves were jangling a touch yeah I mean this is when United were the absolute best and there were playing some really good stuff you know that little little dummy there from Bruno Cavani they're all linked in Marcus runs and behind great run and it's a lovely little finish that's the thing when these guys play like this when they link up together they're great to watch Cavani had a quiet game but there he came to life and nice goal from Marcus Rashford and just felt like takes a tiny little deflection here you see off Robertson takes a little bit of a ricochet but a good finish and then you felt like game on at 3-2 Mason Green would have come on as well and it might have made it 3-3 yeah it might have done yeah I was waiting for him to come out it seemed like it did take a little bit of time I thought Marcus was really dangerous but Mason when he came on he had a couple of really good chances a couple of half chances you see he's unlucky there the leg clears off the line and then the second one can he do a lot I'm not sure he can Mike will probably tell you more than that there's three or four lads on the line plus the goalkeeper can he just drag it back towards his right hand side to the post I'm not sure but yeah he was unlucky it was a real threat when he came on and we knew it would be he'll be disappointed in scoring I think his teammates wanted him to pass that second opportunity I can tell you that but it's strange when you're centre forward and you have a shot it almost like you go into a trance I need to score and then it bounces back you even want to score more it's so hard to actually keep calm in those situations and I'll give them the benefit that out you probably should have passed it though so United pressing Salas 200th game for Liverpool it was a very good goal very good finish Liverpool win it early and when you're ahead in the game you can do this can't you can break quick let's just talk about Dean Hanson to start with I'm not pinning the blame on him but that doesn't even go close to the corner and it actually doesn't even go close to the goalkeeper either I think he makes it easy just want to pinpoint here though in this situation I think a lot of people think oh you just get your head down and run absolutely not you're thinking right what's the best where's the best area I'm left footed let's run away from the defender if you were close to him you'd cut across him but no I'm away from him anyway so let's arm a run let's stay away from him and let's get the ball into him this is just the perfect area nine ten yards out coming in on your left foot as it happens he's running through on his right foot really as a natural as a natural angle he's running through on his right foot because he's left footed he arcs his run he pin points where he's got to play it he runs round the ball so now it's on his left foot every single thing that he's done from running inside his own half to when he actually hits it 50 meters later is perfect and that then makes the finish easy if he messes that up if he's in a trance just thinking let's get there quick and then all of a sudden think right I'm in front of the goal what am I going to do now you're less than your chance of scoring so he did absolutely everything I know it looks easy from start to finish but he's made the finish easy by doing the right thing in that 50 meter run you can see only two more players have scored more goals in their first 200 games for Liverpool than Mo Salah Paul, discuss I was just going to say I think the goalkeeper has made an easy finish for him by going backwards I'm not saying I think he would be disappointed with it when he looks back I'm not saying he would have saved it he could have made it a hell of a lot harder for him we see him he's not even looking at the goal which you're not bothered about but there he has to come out he has to make the angle time for him all he does is go back he goes back he goes back he leaves a good 5 to 10 yard gap for him just to pass the ball so he makes it so easy just before he takes that second that's when he goes that's when he should actually sprint at Mo Salah I know what Scholes is saying in terms of he makes it easy but I'd argue the other side as well as a centre forward you're in control wherever you go if you go that way then the goalkeeper has to shuffle you're dictating where everyone goes the one time you're not is right at the business end in the last step or two the goalkeeper can do something unexpected you pretty much know what they're going to do and your positioning them by where you go on the pitch just thinking that last touch then your keeper's got to go before you know what the keeper's on you and he doesn't do that and he had the perfect opportunity because Mo Salah when you look at it he actually takes his touch and he needs another little one and when the goalkeeper sees he needs another one that's a split second I can gain 3 or 4 yards there if he was going to do it that was his chance just when he made
