Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp saw Manchester United throw a spanner in the works of their bid to equal their arch-rivals바카라 record of 20 league titles but he does not expect Erik ten Hag바카라s side to do them any favours when Arsenal come calling. (More Football News)
Klopp said he was 바카라absolutely fine바카라 with their situation after two dropped points in the title race after the 2-2 draw kept Arsenal top of the table on goal difference.
The Gunners are due at Old Trafford on the penultimate weekend of the season, but the Liverpool boss does not hold out much hope of a helping hand.
바카라Probably if we are still around then it would be great but Arsenal is a good football team and if they (United) play like they did today Arsenal will win that game, I바카라m 100 per cent sure,바카라 said Klopp, whose side took just two points off United this season.
바카라I바카라m really sorry to say it, but we should have won both games and didn바카라t. That바카라s our fault.바카라
Mohamed Salah rescued a point with an 84th-minute penalty after the visitors failed to capitalise on their first-half dominance which brought only Luis Diaz바카라s opener.
A mistake by young centre-back Jarell Quansah allowed Bruno Fernandes to equalise with a lob over goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from the centre-circle before Kobbie Mainoo put the home side ahead.
바카라The feelings are obviously mixed. I바카라m happy with a lot of parts of the game, being 1-0 up at Old Trafford and having a 15-0 shooting stat (in the first half) is incredible. We should and could have been calmer and clearer in moments,바카라 added Klopp, who was left to rue failing to capitalise on their first-half dominance.
바카라It (league position) matters after 38 matchdays. People and our supporters as well will tell us now we need to better our goal difference and go for that 바카라 that would be the dumbest thing we could do.
바카라We are who we are and we are how we are and that바카라s why we are in the race. I바카라m absolutely fine with that.
바카라We are fine with our situation. I wish we had more points, but I바카라m absolutely fine and over the moon actually that these boys brought us into that situation.
바카라The same boys who missed today a few chances are the boys who brought us 71 points.바카라
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was equally happy with how his side responded after being outplayed for large parts of the game.
바카라First half we lost the duels and our decision-making in the half spaces, we weren바카라t quick enough,바카라 he said.
바카라We encouraged the team at half-time to win those duels. We didn바카라t take advantage in the first half and the second half we did.
바카라We needed a moment in the game to punish a mistake of Liverpool, but that got us back in the game.
바카라It (their second goal) was a very good team goal, a goal from out of the game plan, so I바카라m very proud the team could transfer this in the way we did to get the ball to the far-side half-space and then switch and then that finish was brilliant.바카라
Ten Hag also had praise for 19-year-old centre-back Willy Kambwala on only his second Premier League start.
바카라The decision? Old soldiers die and new have to come in. Already a long time he has been training with us and his progress is amazing during training, we didn바카라t have any doubt,바카라 he added.
바카라We were convinced he could do the job, I바카라m very pleased he could do the performance. It바카라s another signal and message for Manchester United has high potential.
바카라If you have more players available, especially in the backline where we have had 27 combinations over the course of the season, the future will be very good.바카라
However, Ten Hag was not happy his side capitulated late on for the third successive game.
바카라It바카라s very disappointing when you put yourselves three times in the week in a winning position just before the end of the game, but then drop points,바카라 he said.
바카라We have all seen some poor decisions. All three games had poor decisions and not every time the same players.
바카라We have to improve. The sooner the better.바카라
