Man Utd 0-0 Liverpool: Three Reasons Why The Reds Failed To Win At Old Trafford 

#2 Squad Depth

Sturridge failed to create chances for Liverpool.

Liverpool are too dependent on the front three and it showed today. Firmino’s injury in the first half didn’t help. The options Liverpool has from the bench are good players but they always lack match practice and so goals from the midfield are very important which Liverpool is failing to get from its current players.

Also, the fact that Liverpool midfielders are more of a runner rather than creators puts too much pressure on the front three. Wijnaldum, Henderson, and Fabinho are all good at occupying a major part of the field and showing control over the ball, but unlike David Silva, Eriksen, they fail to create many chances for the team so when the front three don’t fire the team is in trouble. Chamberlain’s injury and Lallana’s dipping form has not helped as both of them are seen as a goal threat compared to the current midfielders. Sadio Mane was also at his worst form today.
