 United draw with Liverpool and it left a bitter sweet taste, if you'd offered me a draw before the game I'd have taken it but having watched it I ended up a little disappointed. Sometimes, a team's prospects cannot be boiled down to the outcome of one game. As tempting as it is to assess Liverpool's title credentials or Manchester United's ability to kick-start their faltering season after the 1-1 draw, sometimes the outcome is nothing more than what it is: the result at the end of 90 minutes. Some will suggest that Liverpool displayed the hallmark of champions by getting a 1-1 draw on a bad day, but that's an easy cliche to trot out. As Klopp said, Liverpool grabbed a point and nothing more. And just as this result does not offer a crystal ball into Liverpool's future, the performance produced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players should not be used as a yardstick for the rest of their season either. However, as a Utd supporter I am more than happy with the way the team acquitted themselves and again I saw evidence of the fact that this team is so much more fluid when Pogba is not at the heart of things. In my opinion he slows things down, where those quick transitions yesterday were the bedrock of the attack and also the reason for disorganization in the Liverpool back line, Pogba does not add that when he plays in central midfield. Liverpool’s winning run ended at 17, one short of the record, but they will be happy enough after Adam Lallana’s late equalizer put them six points clear at the top. Although it was a scruffy game of few chances, there was always something going on and it was fascinating tactically. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer set United up expertly in the first half, with a 3-4-1-2 formation and split strikers, but they ran out of steam in the second. Solskjaer was arguably too passive with his substitutions, although he didn’t have many options. And while Liverpool were nowhere near their awesome best, they probably deserved a draw for their persistence and territorial dominance. There was VAR controversy, inevitably, and some of the usual derby needle, Daniel James in particular on the receiving end of a few hefty challenges! United looked deflated because of the late equalizer and as a fan I to was disappointed but  when the dust settles, they will reflect on a pretty good day.  Marcus Rashford on the talismanic  side of immense, and there were plenty of signs that United are going in the right direction. In this case, admittedly, that means moving from 14th to 13th in the league, but fourth place is still a realistic ambition but in order to achieve it every game has become a cup tie from now until the actual one against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
