Liverpool have been successful in most of the matches they have played so far this season, but despite their best efforts, they could not win against Manchester United. Since Liverpool could not win against Manchester United, there is no chance to say that Liverpool performed poorly in that match. Liverpool have performed as well as Manchester United have, making the competition tough but neither team has won against the other. If Manchester United can compete hard with the best-placed teams in the Premier League and Champions League, they should also compete hard with their Europa League rivals and earn full points. They don't have too many matches left in their hands to secure the next round of the Europa League and that is only possible with a good performance.
A big surprise that Liverpool was not able to defeated Manchester United, imagine the all Liverpool that’s claimed the top of the standings wot highest points; but definitely fall down in the hand of the a weak teams that are not been performing well all this while but such people by leading their last match against strong team to a draw game. If to say this how Manchester United started their performances with a wonderful journey they could be in a 3rd or second position by now.
I will say I saw that result coming because Manchester United has an attitude of playing better when they compete against top premier league teams, the managers including the past ones will always prepare well for this games so I expected a replica of that level of performance against Liverpool and they did as I expected which also gives me doubt Liverpool will be able to maintain their lead till the end of the season. They might be looking so tough but in reality they are not so hard to defeat.
