Sky Sports experts discuss the consequences of the 0-0 draw between Liverpool and Manchester United
Liverpool won Sunday's hard-earned draw at Manchester United to return to first place in the Premier League. But was it a good result for the title contenders, Jurgen Klopp?
The stingy defenders of the defender prevented Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from being injured but Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Daniel Sturridge – who replaced Roberto Firmino in the first period – were blunted at the other end.
Liverpool held but returned to the top
Man Utd 0-0 Liverpool – as it happened
Liverpool are now one point ahead of Manchester City and having played as many matches as the defending champions with 11 games to go, where is the 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford? the Sky sports The team of specialists badessed the situation:
Graeme Souness – "A missed opportunity but they showed character "
I think it's a missed opportunity. I think United's cards were lacking with respect to their injuries. I think Liverpool will feel as if it should have won.
They certainly had a lot of the ball. Few teams come here [Old Trafford] and keep Manchester United away from the remains, but they did it today.
In the end, they did not have enough imagination or creativity in the midfield. Liverpool midfielders have scored six goals this year. It's not enough if you want to win the league.
I thought that they were dominating the balloon up to the penalty area. I think with 64% of the ball coming to Old Trafford, you played well.
I think Liverpool can only play one way. They try to win every game they play. They are too dependent on the first three. I come back to the midfield goals.
It took real character to come here, play in a difficult stage to find a result and they did it easily for me, that is why I am encouraged.
Graeme Souness
It's good to point fingers and say that your front three do not score goals and do not work the goalkeeper. There is one element that would please you with the Liverpool midfielder because he works hard for you, these are honest types, real hard working clerks for teams of road rollers.
But when you play a team that defends as well as United today and that is organized and that closes the holes and you can not spin through, that's when Liverpool fought because that the attackers do not receive enough services to do the harm.
It seems that I am the only one, but I was impressed by Liverpool today. I am a player who comes here, I know how difficult it is to find a result here.
0:56 Graeme Souness said Liverpool was "too dependent" on its attackers because their midfielders were not creative enough
Even when Manchester United is not doing well, they are chasing you. They did not do it today. Liverpool held them at arm's length, they were never really in danger or [under] sustained pressure.
I think Liverpool conceded three goals against Palace and seemed vulnerable. Then, after a draw against Leicester and a draw against West Ham, there were question marks against them. There is no question mark against them after that for me.
It took real character to come here, play in a difficult stage to find a result and they did it easily for me, that is why I am encouraged. I am more encouraged after the match than I was before in terms of wanting to win the league.
I think they made a statement today. This is not exactly the perfect statement, but they did it for me.
Gary Neville – "United was there for the catch"
The essential for Liverpool, is to stop being vulnerable and to whitewash Bayern Munich and Manchester United, which is a great achievement for Leicester and West Ham, where they seemed to be able to concede opportunities. So, I think it's a big plus for Liverpool.
In the last third, I think Jurgen Klopp is prepared to be a little more pragmatic with the selection of [Jordan] Henderson in midfield and Fabinho. The adjustment must be made when we see Manchester United's problems in the first half.
I was surprised by the substitution of [Daniel] Sturridge. i thought [Mohamed] Salah would have climbed in the lead and Xherdan Shaqiri would have come because it is he who can show his composure in the last third. The third final game was really poor.
I think Jurgen Klopp will be disappointed to have had the opportunity to make a statement. To win at Old Trafford with 11 games to come was a defining moment.
Gary Neville
I said before the match that if you gave Jurgen Klopp a draw, he would probably take it and I was not cynical and that was not the case with Liverpool-Man. United.
It's a tough place to play football for an opposing team, especially for a team like Liverpool. The same goes for United who goes to Anfield.
The important thing for me is if the players withdraw from this match, engage in this coach and say to themselves: "This is really a good point, we have defended ourselves well, but we have not managed to do it from before.
3:00 p.m. Jurgen Klopp admitted that his team was struggling to find his pace in the 0-0 draw against Manchester United, but he was satisfied with the attitude of his players.
Or do they hear in this coach saying "we did not have enough authority, we did not have enough conviction"?
Because the best teams in history would win this game 1-0 or 2-0. When there is so much emotion in this field for 20 minutes after half-time, you counter-attack them and you choose them and you score a goal.
Liverpool will always have this question until they win this title and they cross the finish line, but do the players bring the positive of this game to this coach or do they wear a little could we have done more, if we had been able to? "
We do not know what they think. Here, I would say it's a good point for Liverpool, they defended well, two white sheets against two big teams, but do they have a negative thought? I do not know.
I think Jurgen Klopp will be disappointed to have had the opportunity to make a statement. To win at Old Trafford with 11 games to come was a defining moment.
I still think Liverpool has a good chance of winning the league but the fury he has tonight is that his team could have done so much better. This game was there for the taking.
In the first half with 20 minutes to go, United was there. They reorganized and did very well
Jamie Carragher – "Liverpool is well placed at the end of the week"
I agree with Graeme, there must be many more of the top three. Yes, [Roberto] Firmino is out, but you need your big players when you come somewhere like that.
They had them at the other end. When you think of the save, the goalkeeper did in the first half. In these games, he does not go to random galore; These are the best attackers who play against the best defenders.
The top three Liverpool have not yet exploded this season and they will need them if they want to win the championship.
I understand what Gary said about Liverpool being a bit scary in those two draws, but that was not Liverpool this season. Defensively, Liverpool has been fantastic.
The top three Liverpool have not yet exploded this season and they will need them if they want to win the championship.
Jamie Carragher
I'm really happy with Liverpool's performance in the first period. Coming to Old Trafford, with the calm that they showed under pressure with the three before not to her.
But that's what happened afterwards, because at half-time, I said in a comment that the text had to be reinforced: "You will win this game". Given the problems faced by United, just win the game and I think it will be a huge disappointment.
This midfielder will always be pragmatic in some respects. I've already said about what you bring from the bench. We talked about Shaqiri substitution.
We're talking about United being ravaged by injuries, but they always ended up with a three-for-one [Romelu] Lukaku [Marcus] Rashford and [Alexis] Sanchez and you think what Liverpool brings.
The first Liverpool XI is first clbad, but what comes from the bench is probably not enough.
1:01 Jamie Carragher said Liverpool's top three "have not yet exploded" this season and that they should strengthen themselves if they want to win the championship.
I think that with Liverpool, we are building this game as they should have won it. But it's the week, not Manchester United, it's the week.
I've already said that before this game. If Liverpool withdraws from this week and it remains top of the league, we do not know how City will play their two games – it's a good week.
Two weeks ago, City had an important week in which Liverpool thought some points could be dropped. If you can cross Watford and Everton, you have a break because there is no midweek game.
If Liverpool is in the lead, then you look at the next two meetings [Burnley at home and Fulham away] then the big international break begins.
If Liverpool can reach March 4 and is in the lead, he is well placed to win the title.
