Liverpool boss Arne Slot seemingly aims dig at Man Utd's 'low-block' and 'long ball' tactics as Red Devils escape Anfield with unexpected point

Premier League

Manchester United

Brighton

Champions League

Liverpool

Lille

<p>The Premier League leaders were unexpectedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-man-utd-trent-alexander-arnold-cody-gakpo-mohamed-salah/blt951437d58aa50298" target="_blank">held to a 2-2 draw by an out-of-form Manchester United side</a> at Anfield on Sunday night. Lisandro Martinez handed the visitors the lead in the second half before Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah put Liverpool in front. Amad Diallo then came to United's rescue by scoring an 80th-minute equaliser and snatching away a point from the Reds. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After dropping two crucial points at home, manager Arne Slot was understandably disappointed as he seemingly aimed a dig at Ruben Amorim's strategy of playing a 'low-block' and 'long ball' throughout 90 minutes. The Red Devils looked defensively strong and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-upset-liverpool-draw-man-utd-captain-fires-warning-team-mates/blt03eaaf7e1c23c262" target="_blank">could have even won the game</a> but Harry Maguire squandered a golden opportunity to finish off the match in the dying seconds.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters at his post-match press conference, the  Dutch coach said: "Of course, it feels for us is two points dropped. I think many people, what stays in their head for a long time is what happens in the end and that was a big chance for Maguire, of course. What we tend to forget is that two minutes before, Virgil missed such a big chance he had to make it 3-2 for us. In the end, it was a difficult&nbsp;game. </p><p>"Bit similar to maybe the Nottingham Forest game. The playing styles of both teams were quite similar. Defending in a low block with a lot of bodies and if they had the ball, not to risk of build-up but to play it long. Every free-kick they got, somewhere, in and around their own half, or our half they brought it in. That was a bit similar to Forest." </p><p>He added: "That is not always easy to play against that style of football. That's what showed against Forest and showed again today. Especially if they had such good quality players that can defend so well, that is not so easy to play through that low block."</p>

WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

<p>The Merseyside club will be back in action this Wednesday as they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash away from home. </p>
