Mourinho says more was expected from Pogba against Liverpool

Karius and his teammates will have their next chance to prove themselves this Saturday when they host West Brom for a second straight home game in the league.

“That 0-0 result was because two teams were really good defensively”.

“I think you are very fair with Liverpool because Liverpool had a fantastic defensive performance”, the United manager said on Wednesday afternoon.

Writing in his column for the Liverpool Echo, former striker Aldridge believes that United’s approach – they had just 35% possession, their lowest in any recorded game – showed that they were scared of their opponents.

“We kept control of the game for long periods”.

“We started OK and immediately with their defending we weren’t courageous anymore”. We were in complete control of the first half.

“That performance tonight I wouldn’t expect from a Manchester United team, especially in the second half with how defensive it was”, said Carragher on Monday Night Football.

“We weren’t calm enough, that is their style that is OK you need to have respect but be cool”. We influenced the atmosphere in the stadium. “No one is going to change Jose Mourinho, I think even the board and supporters will have to accept that”. However, without the ball, Mourinho’s men were organised and strong in the tackle, winning 60% of their duels.

While Mourinho was in classic deflection mode Klopp was inclined to agree with the sentiments, although that was in no way a criticism of his own side’s performance. It did, however, demonstrate Mourinho’s fear of us. We controlled very well the emotions of the game.

Liverpool were better all through the entire 90minutes, but somehow could not manage to get all three points. Let us know in the comments section below. Now we have to win matches – we want to be champions and we have to win matches.

“They are a good team, they are not the last wonder of the world like you say they are'”.
