Fernandes doesn’t think Liverpool are playing poorly despite being winless in their last 5 league games.
Bruno admits to having set high standards at United for constantly scoring or assisting goals.
He believes that the likes of Salah, Mane and Firmino are being wrongfully criticized for not scoring because of high expectations on them.
“I think teams have moments. I don’t think Liverpool are playing poorly,” Bruno Fernandes told Man United’s official website when asked about Liverpool’s poor form heading in the FA Cup clash.
“I think they don’t win and this is the point. When teams don’t win, everyone talks about that. When players don’t score, everyone talks about that.
“I feel that on me because I know the standard is high, because I arrived and I scored a lot of goals and make a lot of assists, and everyone is wanting goals and assists from me.
“It is the same – everyone expects goals from Salah, from Firmino and from Mane. They are not scoring in the last games and it starts feeling like ‘oh, they are not playing well’. They create, they play, but the other teams are playing better and, as I said before, they have more qualities to play.
“Every team goes there (to Anfield) to play maybe without the pressure of the fans. Teams play a little bit more comfortably and, as I say, I think it is a moment. We don’t have to look at that moment because big teams and big players can show in every moment.”
Liverpool might be winless in their last 5 Premier League games, but that shouldn’t mean that United take this game lightly. The Red Devils are yet to defeat a top-6 Premier League side this season, so they will have to produce something special to knock out Jurgen Klopp’s side and move forward into the FA Cup 5th Round.
