Manchester United Suffers Humiliating 7-0 Defeat Against Liverpool Due to Ten Hag's Questionable Tactics!
| Manchester United Suffers Humiliating 7-0 Defeat Against Liverpool |
The match was marred by some questionable tactical decisions from the manager, which allowed Jurgen Klopp's side to dominate and bombard David De Gea's defense.
Despite entering the game with eight wins out of 11 Premier League matches, the Red Devils were crushed by the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo, who each scored two goals, with Roberto Firmino adding one more.
Ten Hag's elementary mistakes in the game seemed absurd, as he allowed Liverpool to play freely without restraining the pressure put on his team by Klopp's men.
Instead of changing tactics in the second half, he opted for the same approach, which did not yield positive results.
Liverpool grew more and more dangerous and ultimately destroyed Manchester United in the last 30 minutes of the game.
Questions have been raised about ten Hag's choice of starting XI and his inability to make effective substitutions during the game.
Weghorst was substituted after an hour due to his inability to contribute positively to the team's attack, despite being ten Hag's preferred choice.
It may be time for ten Hag to look for alternative systems instead of sticking with his plan of bringing out the best in Weghorst.
Ten Hag was also criticized for relying solely on his bench players to change the game, with Garnacho joining Scott McTominay, Marcel Sabitzer, Tyrell Malacia, and Anthony Elanga.
He was deemed to have made blunders in terms of player selection, substitutions, and tactical aspects of the game.
Losing 7-0 is undoubtedly shameful, but what is more worrying for ten Hag is the way his team played and the attitude of his players during this embarrassing defeat.***
