[mTen Hag probably didn't expect to win the match, he only targets for a draw. That's why Man United play defensively in Anfield, they tried to minimize the chance for Liverpool players to score goals. However, applying this tactic is no longer popular in the modern football. It is because this tactic even makes the opponent to have many chances for shot attempts. It really happened in the match Liverpool vs Man United, Liverpool could make 34 shot attempts. Luckily, Man United could defense well, there are no goals in the match.
Well, if we look at the stats, it is true that Man United was like a small team in EPL. It is a bit shameful that a big team like Man United applied a defensive tactic in the match.
Yes Manchester United did apply a defensive tactics against Liverpool, but i don’t see that to be disgraceful if you ask me. They we’re scenarios were you analyze matches me and then you look at how strong your team is and then make a tactical plan on that. Manchester United has never won at Anfield since 2018 and the last time they played there was an humiliating 7-0 defeats. This season again Liverpool hasn’t lost a match at their home, so I don’t see it that way. This draw will moralize the team to build on it. Had they lost bad again as you all predicted I think it will be good for their season. Even this so called Liverpool were once parking the bus against United when united were ruling the land
