What were the main highlights from Liverpool's 0-0 draw against Manchester United?
Liverpool fans streaming into the night around Anfield, leaving pretty much disappointed, frustrated by what they've seen here. They've seen off two other teams so far, this new look Anfield, convincingly, but it wasn't to be tonight against a very strong and stubborn Manchester United side. Nine attempts in seven, just one on target from Manchester United, that after 17 minutes. Three from Liverpool, who had almost four times as many touches in the opposition box, and ran 10km further as Manchester United tired of that second half, dropping deeper. And that 35% possession is the lowest on Opta records since Opta began 13 years ago. Their passing accuracy down 8% on average, almost 300 passes, fewer than Liverpool this evening, and 5% more of those went long.
Ashley Young came into the side tonight. He quitted himself well for Jose Munoz. And Herrera was the man of the match. We can hear from both of those two with Jeff Shreves.
And, first of all, Ashley, tactically it was very tight. Did either side do enough to win?
I don't know. Obviously, there was chances for both teams, but I think we see each other out. We knew what our job was to go out there and we defended every man as a team.
How did Manchester United's defensive strategy impact the game?
We had chances to win, but, you know, it's a tough place to come. We're happy with a point. Obviously, we'd have liked a three, but that could go a long way.
In truth, Ander, it wasn't great entertainment to watch. What was it like to play in?
I agree with us. I think we did a fantastic job. I think we can be very proud of our team. Every player did everything today, gave everything today. This is the way we have to play big matches. I think we were better in the first half, they were better in the second half. David made two fantastic saves, but Zlatan as well had a big chance for us. So I think it's a fair point, a fair job. Both teams didn't deserve to lose. This kind of game, no one wanted to lose it.
What did players Ashley Young and Ander Herrera say about their performance?
So we can take a lot of things from this game. But now we have to win matches. We want to be champions. We are Man United and we have to win matches.
Ashley, do you agree with him? It's one of those games that must not lose rather than must win.
Yeah, of course it is. When you come to a place like this, you don't want to get defeated, you don't want to lose. We've done that. Obviously, like Anders said, we're disappointed that we didn't get the three points, but every man to a team, we fought to the end. We had that great team spirit that we've always got. We can't wait for a point.
For you personally, what was it like? A long time since you started a Premier League game?
Yeah, of course.
How did the statistics reflect the match dynamics?
I think there was a few tired legs towards the end of the game. You know, you could tell. And that's obvious if you're not playing week in, week out. But, you know, I'm delighted to obviously get the start. And, you know, I'm just delighted for the boys that we've got the point and we move on after the rest of the week.
And why do you think you controlled the game? What did you do?
To control the game. We just tried to win every duel, every battle, every ball. We knew in advance it was going to be a big fight. They are in a very good moment. They press a lot. They want to win every ball. And I think we were prepared for that. We can be proud.
What were the key moments that could have changed the outcome of the match?
Of course, we wanted to win. We are Man United and we want to win always. But I think we showed there on the pitch that we are a big team. We are going to fight for everything. Personally, I am very proud of every teammate.
It's not a win, Ash, but do you draw a different kind of satisfaction tonight?
Obviously, we want to get the three points, like me and Ander have been saying, but it's a tough place to come. Like I say, that point could go a long way to the end of the season, so we'll walk away with the point, dust ourselves down and prepare for the next game.
I don't think Ander walks away. He's the Premier League man of the match, Ashley.
Well done, mate. Thank you. Thank you both. Speaks well, doesn't he, Ander Herrera? Defensively, Ryan, was that the perfect execution of the Mourinho plan?
