Not looking forward to seeing Liverpool go to Old Trafford on Sunday. It’s a great game for a neutral fan to watch but as a Liverpool fan I hate this game. It doesn’t matter how badly Man Utd are doing they always raise their level when we go to Old Trafford. I hate playing them, the crowd are loud, the players are extra aggressive. If we get out of there with a win it’d be an amazing start to the Slot era.
Elsewhere Arsenal and Man City have started well as expected. They play Brighton and West Ham respectively. Looking forward to Saturday's fixtures but dreading the trip to Old Trafford
Liverpool kicked off the Arne Slot era very well with back to back wins against newly promoted side Ipswich and the bees Brentford United who also lost last weekend. Manchester United did poorly last season but we all saw how they dealt with Liverpool during the FA Cup Semi finals and also holding Liverpool down to a fulltime draw last season. Manchester United might have lost to Brighton last weekend but this game would be obviously world war 3. Getting three points against Manchester United who wants to Improve and impress the fans would be difficult, this is not the friendly games and pre-season on GOD. I don't even know what personal records Erik Ten Hag has with Arne Slot but we'll see about that. Mo Salah has been one player scoring Manchester United whenever he faced them, let's see if he'll do the same this season.
Gunners could easily get things done with Brighton, they have won back to back games but that don't mean shit. Arsenal would triumph though I know how tough Brighton use be for Arsenal with Graham Potter in charge.
West Ham United improved their defenders. Getting pass two goals against the hammers would be difficult.
The Red Devils somehow awaken the Devils inside of them when they get to play the Anfield boys. For both of the teams, it's a tough fixture. Filled with action, filled with emotions. As a Liverpool fan, I am very excited for the matchup. Always fun to play against United, feel the thrill, and feel the exciting energy.
Manchester United has had a slow start to the season so far. They did play well in the first match, but playing Bruno at the 9, and playing Mount behind Bruno as the 10 is one of the many faults Ten Hag has made so far. They probably wouldn't have lost the match if it wasn't for the horrible defensive mistake from the CBs. But, they have to up their game to face the Reds now.
Liverpool in their first two games faced arguably weaker sides, but the gameplan was thorough. Arne Slot is here and he knows his stuff. He is leaving no prisoners, taking it all in, and fielding the best eleven every game. Good thing is most of them are in good form, too. So I expect a good match from Liverpool for sure. It would be exciting to see how Man United show up.
