Week 8 EPL Review: Liverpool & United Play Out Snore Daw

Arch rivals Liverpool and Manchester United played out a snore draw at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side miss the opportunity to go joint top of the table with Arsenal and Man City.

Liverpool’s clashes with Manchester United are some of the hotly anticipated games of the season, but tonight, the British public would have been better off watching the Great British Bakeoff.

It was the 197th meeting between the two North West teams stretching back as far as 1894, and I doubt you will find one as boring as this.

It was a game of few chances as United started to look like a Jose Mourinho side for the first time this season. The industry of Marouane Fellaini and Ashley Young preferred to the silky skills of Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard. Wayne Rooney found himself on the bench once again. Liverpool started with Daniel Sturridge up top. Georgino Wijnaldum was missing due to an injury sustained during the international break, and Adam Lallana began on the bench.
