‘It’s not his job to defend’ – Steve Nicol blames this player for Liverpool’s loss to Manchester United

Trent Alexander – Arnold’s “effort” to defend Jadon Sancho before Man United’s opening goal was criticized by Nicol, who claimed that Liverpool’s back line could no longer protect the England international.

Sancho scored two and Marcus Rashford scored one and brought Erik ten Hag’s team the win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. “We’re not telling Klopp anything he doesn’t know.” Nicol told sources. “But what Klopp did was saying to himself, “You know how much we’ve taken from this kid. [Alexander-Arnold] we’ll have to chin up what he didn’t have on defense

And that was okay while the other three were doing their best. they made up for it [Alexander-Arnold]. But now there is every match, there are problems on that side and now they are having a hard time replacing him. No one was able to make a cover for him. he can’t.

I mean, you saw his attempt to mess with one or two, there was no commitment in that. Back in the middle of the park. Had he rushed into the penalty area now, he might have actually challenged Sancho, but he didn’t, he walked.

“It’s not his job to defend. We know, Klopp knows, but Klopp is ready to take the negative going forward.

Mane left Anfield to join Bayern Munich this summer and when asked if he would admit that Liverpool missed him, Nicol said:Because it was a bad start, because of Mane?

Mane wasn’t playing in midfield, was he? Or right back? Or is it medium? If Mane were playing today, he wouldn’t have seen the ball either. He wouldn’t get kicked either.

Jurgen Klopp has few options at the moment, but still, he made an important choice that either raises eyebrows, creates a fuss, or is a gamble, depending on your point of view. Although Jordan Henderson has not been in great shape this season, he was selected to play as the deepest midfielder above Fabinho, who was not in the best shape.

Given that the midfield as a whole was largely anonymous for 30 minutes, it can’t be said to have worked in the slightest, but Henderson was admittedly bypassed frequently in those early minutes with the balls and heightened home aggression. The captain experienced absolute fear for the second goal. Marcus Rashford failed after a terrible first touch, a missed interception, another blocking attempt, and scored after a wobble.
