‘They came here not to lose’ | Jurgen Klopp reviews Liverpool’s draw with Man Utd<\/h3>\n

Mohamed Salah has been criticised in years gone by for his greediness and desire to be the match-winner at Liverpool. However, the Egypt winger does not appear to be the most selfish player in the Reds\u2019 ranks anymore, with Cody Gakpo taking that crown.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have enjoyed a strong start to the season but wasted the opportunity to reclaim their spot at the top of the Premier League on Sunday when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side truly underwhelmed at Anfield, failing to craft any clear-cut opportunities and wasting possession in dangerous areas. Liverpool were particularly poor when they made space on the edge of the United area, firing numerous harmless strikes at Andre Onana rather than trying to work a more dangerous chance.<\/p>\n

Gakpo was among those to throw possession away, with the Netherlands international having two poor strikes that both missed the target when there were better options to his left and right.<\/p>\n

On one occasion, ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher sounded visibly frustrated by Gakpo\u2019s decision-making, having criticised Salah earlier in the match after he tried to cut the ball onto his left foot to shoot rather than crossing the ball into a dangerous area.<\/p>\n

After Gakpo\u2019s shot, Carragher exclaimed: \u201cNo! Gakpo, that is so poor. I\u2019ve said this about Mo Salah, he\u2019s been locked out on the edge of the box so far and he\u2019s still thinking about shooting even though it\u2019s clearly not on. Just move the ball on, don\u2019t force chances!<\/p>\n
