Although he failed to get all three points against Manchester United, Sloter is still satisfied with the players' mentality

With goals from Gakpo and Salah, the "Red Devils" Liverpool were tied 2-2 by Manchester United at Anfield in this round of the Premier League. Liverpool coach Sloter said in an interview that his team might lose the game due to the chances Manchester United got, but he was also satisfied with the attitude shown by his players.

Liverpool defender Arnold made a mistake in the 52nd minute of the second half. Bruno Fernandes seized the opportunity to send a straight pass, and Lisandro received the ball and shot it in, helping Manchester United to open the scoring with a 1-0 lead.

In the 59th minute, McAllister seized the ball and created an opportunity. Gakpo got the ball and shot past the defense from the penalty area to tie the score for Liverpool 1-1. In the 67th minute, McAllister's header hit De Ligt's hand, and Liverpool was awarded a penalty kick. Subsequently, Salah scored from the penalty kick, helping Liverpool to overtake 2-1.

In the 80th minute, Ganacho passed the ball back to Diallo, who then scored with a low shot, helping Manchester United tie the score at 2-2. In the end, Liverpool was tied at home by Manchester United at 2-2. After failing to get all three points, Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 46 points, 6 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

Talking about this focus game, Liverpool coach Slot said, “We started well and created three excellent opportunities in the game, and then it became more difficult for us for a while. When the opponent has high-quality players and adopts low defense, it is really difficult to deal with, and they have Hoilend and Diallo as forwards. It is not so easy to find gaps in the defense, which is the case in this game.”

"When you're 1-0 down, it's going to be a lot harder, but I'm very satisfied with the mentality the players showed afterwards, even coming back with 2-1."

In addition, Sloter said, "They have strong strength both with and without the ball, and it is not easy to play against them. Once they start to play more open, you can see their ability more clearly."

"In the first 75 minutes, Onana almost always played the ball long and the free kicks they got were played straight forward. And in the last 15 minutes, you can see how good they were when they tried to pass the ball."

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United defender Maguire made a volley in the final stage of the game, but the ball went over the post, allowing Liverpool to escape.

Slote said: "People forget how many chances we created. Manchester United had Maguire's chance, but we had more chances to score. But in the end, with Maguire's chance, we might have lost the game."
