Vigtig sejr. Det var kontrollerende næsten fra start til slut, med den rigtige kynisme i begge ender.

Nedtakt ovenpå sejren over ærkerivalerne :

Andy Robertson is the 13th Scottish player to reach 300 appearances for #LFC in all competitions, and first to hit that milestone since Steve Nicol in October 1990.


Andy Robertson made his 300th appearance for Liverpool today.
He has won 194 of those games.
The only player to win more of his first 300 #LFC apps?

His opposite full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold (198).


Mo Salah now has 10 goals in 9 appearances against Man Utd at Old Trafford for Liverpool.

He´s only the second ever Liverpool player to score 10+ goals at a venue other than Anfield, after Ian Rush (13 at Goodison Park, 10 at Wembley).

Mo Salah is only the third player in Liverpool´s history to score in each of a new manager´s first three league games in charge of the club, after Jimmy Ross under John McKenna in 1895 and Alf Hanson under George Kay in 1936.

Mo Salah has more goals for #LFC at Old Trafford (10) than Antony (7), Alejandro Garnacho (7), Rasmus Højlund (7), Edinson Cavani (7), Jadon Sancho (6), Memphis Depay (4) and Alexis Sánchez (3) have there for Man Utd.

2007 - Liverpool´s Arne Slot is the first manager to win each of his first three Premier League games without conceding a single goal since Sven-Göran Eriksson in 2007.

2 - Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Liverpool have seen more different players score twice in the first half of a Premier League game at Old Trafford (2 - Salah, Díaz) than Manchester United have (1 - Ronaldo).

Arne Slot is the first Liverpool manager to win his first meeting with Manchester United since Bob Paisley in November 1975.

Mo Salah vs Man Utd

• 26/34 passes (76%)
• 3 chances created (=1st)
• 2 assists (1st)
• 54 touches
• 3 shots (=1st)
• 2/4 dribbles (=1st)
• 1/1 tackle
• 1 clearance
• 1 interception

7 straight games with a goal at Old Trafford. An all-time great.

Teammates with a double goal-assist visiting Old Trafford in Premier League: Balotelli-Milner with Manchester City in 2011 and Luis Díaz-Salah with Liverpool in 2024.

Det er eddername håbløst åndssvagt, hvis klubben slet ikke har haft fat i Mo om en ny kontrakt.

Selvfølgelig skal han tilbydes en ny. VVD og Trent ligeså.

De kan passende give ham Hughes en fyreseddel hvis ikke han snart får styr på de 3 spilleres kontrakter.

Ja, det bør sgu have været fikset for længe siden.

SkySports har lige haft en grafik på, der viser, at Ten Hag har købt spillere for 616 millioner pund i United...

Det er jo sindssygt.

Ja han var lidt utilfreds med at de skulle sælge McT pga de økonomiske regler, det har ikke noget at gøre med hvad han har brugt af penge ....:)

Arne Slot on not conceding a goal:

“Pleasing although in the second half we needed Alisson. In an ideal situation he is only there to play out of the back. It was good that we kept control of the game.”

Virgil Van Dijk:

“It´s a proud moment. What pleased me the most was the performance from start to finish. We want to enjoy ourselves out there and the only way to do that is with the hard work. We dominated and should have scored more. Winning 3-0 is a big improvement.”

Virgil Van Dijk:

"We want to achieve greatness this season. I´m not competing in any competition just to compete, I want to win. Our consistency is looking good, after the international break could be interesting when playing every three days. I´m certainly enjoying the ride."

Arne Slot on his message at half time:

“We said they were going to press aggressively, but I showed them three moments where one situation that led to a chance for Mazraoui.

"Luis [Diaz] was not tracking back as he should. Those moments can change the game at Old Trafford.

Arne Slot:

"Scored three, could have scored more. Work rate was incredible. It makes it a very positive day."

Slot:

"All of them [games so far] mean a lot. The first one was my first as manager and the second was my first home game. This was my first big win. They showed me in the last weeks that they can work so hard. We were so dominant with the ball and play a midfield of three.”

Arne Slot on Mo Salah contract situation:

"At this moment, he is one of ours. He played really well. I don’t talk about contracts but I could talk for hours about his performance."

Arne Slot on international break:

“I hope they look after themselves."

Mo Salah on it being an easy game:

“I was a little surprised. The game could have finished five or six. The new manager comes with his style and he wants everyone to adapt, he had a meetings with senior groups saying you need to set an example for the younger players.”

Andy Robertson on his 300th appearance:

“I´m delighted to play that many games for this great club. It´s always nice to top these milestones off with a great result and I think you can class that as a great result.”

Andy Robertson:

“They always say clean sheets will win you things and that´s always been the case when Manchester City have won the league and when we did. Three games without a goal conceded is really good and we want to keep that going.”

Andy Robertson:

“We look a bit more secure defensively. We had a lot more control in our game today. It was 3-0 and it could have been more. A clean sheet is masssive. To come away to your big rivals like Man United and keep a clean sheet is massive.”

De kan passende give ham Hughes en fyreseddel hvis ikke han snart får styr på de 3 spilleres kontrakter.

Jøsses....

Flot sejr idag! En Klopp masterclass, fristes man jo næsten til at sige, med tre fine mål efter erobringer højt i banen. Dejligt, at man havde lært lidt af sidst vi var på Træfortet, klappede bolden i kassen, og gik lidt mere på mål istedet for at forfalde til passivt boldflytteri :)

Det var kun lige Szobo, der en enkelt gang skulle lege cirkushest og glemte at sparke på kassen. Fy føj.

Imponerende start Gravenberch har fået på sæsonen, og midtbanen i sin helhed. Szobo og Macca gør det også virkelig godt i deres roller, de komplementerer hinanden godt de tre, og det er jo trods alt også det vigtigste.

Det er ganske flot, at Slot på kort tid tydeligvis har ændret Liverpools spillestil, og jeg kan også sagtens se, hvilke fordele den nye spillestil vil give holdet over sæsonen.

Den nye spillestil betragter jeg dog samtidig som holdets største udfordring - og ikke evnt. mangler i truppen, idet den manglende overfaldsfodbold tidligere var et skarpslebent våben, som virkede i de fleste perioder.

Nu hvor overfaldsstilen er lagt til side, kan man sætte spørgsmålstegn ved, hvad man skal ty til, hvis den nye stil ikke virker - på udebane mod et aggressivt, løbestærkt og fysisk stærkt hjemmehold vil man ikke altid kunne spille sig igennem. Der ligger mange point på den vægt.

Det skal blive spændende at se, hvorvidt Liverpool stadig kan benytte overfaldsstilen som plan b, eller den hurtigt forsvinder fra holdets arsenal.

Og det er heller ikke uvæsenligt, at både Man. City og Arsenal er år foran i forh. til benyttelse af en bestemt spillestil.
