I was really surprised over the outcome of the Liverpool and Man UTD FA Cup match because honestly I didn't see that coming. A 4-2 finish is something fans will be exhilirated about since Man UTD are showing them they've still got the stuff in them and this performance has pushed them to the semi's and I'm actually anxious to know who Erik's men will be paired against. At least they can hold on to this one since they aren't in the top three struggling for the trophy, of they manage to get past everyone and win this FA cup trophy, it can boost the confidence of fans.
Liverpool tried all they could in that game and for the first time in a long while they couldn't come back from a defeat and the way the whole thing turned out it looked as if they were content to bow out of this one so they can focus on Europa and the League.
Jurgen Klopp's men were unarguably the better side in yesterday's game but at the end what matters is not how well you poach your enemy's defense, it's the three points that matters and I'm hoping they don't continue this way else they will have to forfeit their dreams of climbing back on top because they had the upper hand in the first half, but struggled to get a third goal that would have sealed their victory, instead bottled their chances when Anthony scored in the 87 minute.
4-3 for Man United to win and they deserved it with a compact game like this and seeing how Man United mentality is to get up so they have the opportunity to turn things around. The blunder made by Nunez which was finally resolved with Rashford goal certainly revived enthusiasm in the extra round. With this result Liverpool realized that their performance was a little out of control, I don't know the reason but I say that with Man United scoring 2 goals after 120+ minutes it was beyond anyone's predictions because Liverpool were already ahead.
In my opinion Liverpool defeat was a bit embarrassing because in the EPL they are the most consistent team in all aspects of players, if we compare it with Man United who are still limping in the standings, having difficulty catching up with Tottenham in points, but were able to beat Liverpool. This means that mentally on the pitch Liverpool were not focused wholeheartedly against Man United. I'm sure Liverpool's performance could be much better than this, but that didn't show at all against Man United.
