‘Have to blame ourselves for silly mistakes’: Ten Hag reveals mixed emotions for Liverpool draw

Speaking to BBC to describe his feelings after Man United’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool, Erik ten Hag said: “Very mixed emotions.

“On one side I am disappointed that we have dropped seven points in one week after being in winning positions, but we have to blame ourselves for making stupid mistakes.

“On the other side I am very proud. You see how we are improving and the potential of this squad is amazing – I am proud.

“In decisive areas we were losing battles especially with young players we were not confident to win them [duels]. We encouraged in the second half to do better and they stepped up.”

Man United were quite inconsistent throughout the game against Liverpool, with two spectacular goals helping the Red Devils get something from the Reds. Ten Hag’s side are 11 points behind the top-4 with seven games remaining this season.
