BREAKING NEWS: “I don’t want him in my club anymore, so I’ll let him pack up and leave.” He failed to defend the ball once again, making mistakes that contributed to both the first and second goals. – Erik ten Hag has instructed that the Manchester United player, who has been underperforming, must exit the club immediately following the unexpected defeat to Liverpool.

Liverpool’s breakthrough came with 35 minutes remaining after they initially had a goal disallowed for offside. The turning point began when Ryan Gravenberch intercepted a misplaced pass intended for Kobbie Mainoo, bypassing Casemiro in the process. Gravenberch quickly advanced and played the ball to Mohamed Salah, who then delivered a superb cross that found Luis Diaz for the opening goal.

Casemiro played a crucial role in Liverpool’s first goal by attempting a first-time pass that inadvertently set up the opposition’s attack. The Brazilian midfielder’s error was compounded shortly afterward, leading to Liverpool’s second goal. Once again, Salah assisted Diaz for the finish, taking advantage of the lack of defensive cover.

Roy Keane, analysing the match, highlighted Casemiro’s mistake as a key factor in Liverpool’s first goal. He expressed frustration at the lack of defensive organisation, particularly in wide areas.

Keane noted that both Mazraoui and Dalot were caught out of position as they tried to chase Casemiro’s pass, leaving United exposed. The error, according to Keane, was avoidable, despite Casemiro’s experience, and not worth the risk.

Before half-time, Keane shared his thoughts with Sky Sports, stating, “Casemiro made a mistake here. That is not a first-time pass, no matter how experienced he is. It’s not worth the risk.” He went on to criticise the team’s overall defensive structure, pointing out how disorganised they appeared when they lost possession. “They are all over the place when they lose the ball. Mistakes happen, but the team just looks scattered,” he said.

Keane also questioned the positioning of United’s full-backs, emphasising their absence during key moments. “Look at your right-back. Where is he? Where is your left-back? You’re not in control,” he commented, underlining the lack of discipline in the backline.

In conclusion, Keane acknowledged Liverpool’s superiority, stating that the team had the strength to punish United for their defensive lapses. He warned, “Good players will get back at you,” highlighting Liverpool’s ability to capitalise on United’s mistakes.
