The two points dropped for Liverpool could prove to be extremely costly
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. One of the most quoted — and misquoted — lines of all time.Liverpool and Manchester United, of course, don’t need to be told that matters in football matches aren’t genuine tragedy.
They have only kept one clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League matches. That isn’t anywhere near good enough. They keep making bad decisions, give the ball away too easily, and their poor positioning is continually exposed.In that opening period, they were as poor as any United team have ever been in a big game at Old Trafford.
His Liverpool team beat United just six times in 21 games. They had eight defeats and there were seven draws.Go back to the period between 2000 and 2002 for more evidence. United, under Alex Ferguson, were a powerhouse at home and in Europe.Fast forward another few years. United won the title in 2008/09 but crashed 4-1 to Liverpool at Old Trafford in that campaign.With Liverpool 2-1 up in the second half, they had a five against two advantage on a counter-attack.
They sent everyone forward looking for a winner and left themselves wide open for United to knock them out on the counter.
