Terrible Liverpool weakness remains since day one under Arne Slot Liverpool's crippling weakness remains and it's been there since day one under Arne Slot. Liverpool feel to a 3-2 defeat at Manchester United on Sunday. It was another terrible performance from the Reds and their 18th defeat of this season.
Only three times since 1962 have Liverpool lost more than that in a season. There are three remaining fixtures, of course. Now, there are a million reasons why Sunday was frustrating but perhaps the most irritating was how Manchester United were consistently able to get in at Liverpool across the first half.
The hosts attacked the pocket between and behind the Reds' midfield pairing again and again and again - to great success. Here's it happening very early on: Ā© LFC Ā© LFC Absolutely no one near Bruno in this one. United's best player, their creative force, and United have a clear pass to him from a defensive position as Liverpool's midfielders are elsewhere.

Of course, that means he's got a good few yards on Liverpool's midfielders: Ā© LFC So here we are five seconds later, with Bruno having taken advantage of his position to attack Liverpool's defence. Bryan Mbeumo will play the ball in behind for him, which is where United's second goal comes from.
