Football: Insert Ted Lasso joke here

Biggest issue so far (compared to other United matches this season) is aggressiveness, I think. That and coordinated pressing or falling back. 

Liverpool getting harried for a lot of the half, and haven't managed to deal with it, until the end of the half when United were more tired.

Liverpool have crumbled under any high press lately.  They seem to expect the opponent to just retreat into the usual pattern of territorial dominance.

And VVD has been over-casual for a while.  He seems to have bought into his reputation a little too much.

I'd say the difference is overall mobility.

Ten Hag has benched the least mobile/quick players (CR7, Maguire) and has decided that McTominay is better suited for the role as the muscle next to Eriksen. The front three (Rashford, Sancho, Elanga) around Bruno are so much more mobile, and have a better work rate, thus they are overall harder to defend than when they have to move around CR7. He might still make an impact as sub later.
