          After Manchester United had a splendid winning streak of Three Games in a row the confidence of the team going into Thursdays Europa League clash would have been moderate and the fans were hoping that the team would show that confidence by playing an open, creative game and making life difficult for Liverpool in front of THE CUP at Anfield. However, who would have expected Liverpool to totally dominate the game and pile enormous pressure on Manchester United which would totally disable  Manchester United's attacking force for most of the match causing Liverpool to take control and win the game.

       I’m sure that the most disappointing aspect of the game for Manchester United fans was not that Manchester United ended up losing the game or that Manchester United barely created any solid opportunities in the match but mostly because the final result of the match was 2-0 in favour of Liverpool leaving Manchester United in search of Three unanswered Goals next week at Old Trafford in the return leg in other to advance to the next stage of the competition.

        One Aspect of the game that stood out to me was that the interesting substitution time the team used during the game. Manchester United were down 2-0 courtesy of Goal from Liverpool players Fermino and Daniel Sturridge, both goals coming during the first half of game. At the start of the second half, Manchester united still had a good chance to at least score an away goal and increase  our chances of advancing to next stage with a one goal victory at home in Old Trafford, rather than introduce midfield due Ander Herrera and the returning Bastian Schweinsteiger, Coach Louis Van Gaal decided to wait till the  60th minute of the game to introduce the duo to the game living the  midfielders little time to influence the game and considering the fact that Marouane Fellaini had already been booked in the first half one would have expected the changes to be made in the start of the second half.


       Rooney's Absence and Daley Blind in Center Back was one of the things i thought went against us in the game. Rooney has been out of the team due to injury for the past two weeks and Manchester United has missed Rooney's energy, motivation and leadership in the team. Considering Rooney's love and desire to score against Liverpool because Rooney has scored on almost every game he has played against and West Ham it was clear that Manchester United facing a big issue trying to replace Rooney's quality and what he brings to the team. Although Rooney has been a big miss in the team so far, I think Manchester United has been able to produce good performances in recent games and if the come back draw against West Ham in the FA Cup is a good example of the teams ability to produce positive results under pressure then Old Trafford fans will still have hope of beating Liverpool in next weeks second leg Europa  League match, The FA Cup replay game against West Ham and the remaining premiere league games. So smile Old Trafford fans, the future is still`bright for the team and if there is still any doubt of the teams inability to create and score goals for the team without Rooney, well then Herrera and Martials combination goal against West Ham proved that theory wrong.

As a result of further investigations carried out, statistical and visible evidence has presented the reality that the Manchester United men's team in some aspects of the 2022/23 season has continued to show signs of struggle even with all three midfielders present on the pitch for Manchester United with the presence of Christian Eriksen operating in the number 8 position showing signs of difficulty and inconsistency for most of the season for Manchester United. With the recurring pressure the Danish midfielder receives in the midfield, Christian Eriksen has displayed the decision to roam around different areas of the pitch with the intent of finding pockets of space to deliver a pass which the Danish midfielder has displayed himself to be one of the best uh delivering keys from pocket to space.        The midfield issue for Erik Ten Hag's current Manchester United team stems from the fact that with Christian Eriksen choosing to roam around the pitch to find space, the Danish
