Alexander Isak and his Liverpool teammates were left stunned after a shocking miss from Mo Salah.<\/p>\n
The Egyptian star, usually a talisman in games against Manchester United, failed to equalize for the Reds in the second half.<\/p>\n
United had taken an early lead in the first minute when Bryan Mbeumo capitalized on a rare mistake from Virgil van Dijk.<\/p>\n
Cameras captured Florian Wirtz with his hands over his mouth in disbelief, while fellow summer signing Alexander Isak dropped to his knees after witnessing Salah\u2019s miss.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool legend had a golden chance to level the game but fired off target from inside the six-yard box, sending the ball into the crowd.<\/p>\n
To be fair, Salah wasn\u2019t the only culprit in front of goal\u2014both Isak and Cody Gakpo squandered clear opportunities throughout the match.<\/p>\n
A 2\u20131 home defeat to Manchester United\u2014especially this United side\u2014is simply unacceptable for Arne Slot\u2019s men.<\/p>\n
Even with the international break separating what was a three-match losing streak, Liverpool\u2019s attacking woes remain a major concern.<\/p>\n
In the past, the Reds could rely on at least one forward to convert chances, but this season every attacker seems to be struggling with poor finishing, overshadowing the defensive lapses at the back.<\/p>\n
The stats suggest Liverpool should have taken all three points, yet once again, the end product didn\u2019t match the performance.<\/p>\n
Another frustrating and disappointing night at Anfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
