The post-match analysis continued, with pundits and coaches alike dissecting the tactical decisions made by both teams.
"United's switch to a 4-3-3 formation in the second half was a masterstroke," said Gary Neville. "It allowed them to dominate midfield and push Liverpool back."
"But Liverpool's high press was also effective," countered Jamie Carragher. "They won the ball back quickly and created chances."
Erik ten Hag was asked about his decision to bring on fresh legs in the second half. "We needed to inject some pace and energy into the game," he explained. "The substitutes made a big impact."
Jürgen Klopp, on the other hand, was quizzed about his team's inability to see out the game. "We should have managed the game better," he admitted. "We needed to keep the ball and not allow United to push forward."
