Salah blanks as mediocre Liverpool concede again

Southampton 1-2 Liverpool

Goals: Danny Ings (£6.0m) | Sadio Mané (£11.5m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m)

Assists: James Milner (£5.5m), Mané

Bonus Points: Mané x3, Firmino x2, Ings x1

Liverpool’s performance at Southampton on Saturday proved right those Fantasy Premier League managers who had concerns after the Super Cup final.

Having played 120 minutes in Istanbul midweek, the Reds probably did not deserve to take all three points from the Saints as they did not play to their usual high standards.

That led to Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) recording his first blank of the 2019/20 season at just the second hurdle.

The Egyptian was largely anonymous at the St. Mary’s Stadium, only finding himself presented with one decent chance on Saturday afternoon.

After making a trademark run cutting in from the right, Salah bore down on Angus Gunn‘s (£4.5m) goal, only for Southampton’s shot-stopper to deflect the effort away with his feet.

Salah was pulled off in the 78th minute at Southampton

Despite Klopp’s insistence that a 120-minute outing would not hamper Salah in Gameweek 2, Liverpool’s manager took the player off in the 78th minute and replaced him with Divock Origi (£5.6m).

Whether Fantasy managers should have any lasting concerns about Salah remains to be seen though.

It will not be every week that the Egyptian will be forced into extra-time midweek before a Saturday Premier League match.

Furthermore, with a home match against Arsenal next, a side who Liverpool scored five against at Anfield last season, it probably does not serve well to make any kneejerk reactions to Salah’s Gameweek 2 blank.

However, a 14-point haul for Sadio Mané (£11.5m) might just give some Fantasy managers itchy feet.

The former Southampton man returned to the starting line-up after his late return from African Cup of Nations action over the summer and got himself a goal and assist against his former employers.

The Senegalese international played only 103 minutes in the Super Cup final, which might have helped his cause, although in truth he wasn’t any more involved in the Liverpool action than Salah.

Yes, it was his excellent curled effort from range that gave Liverpool the lead, but he, like Salah, was also not at his best in a game largely dominated by Southampton.

Firmino scored what proved to be the winner for Liverpool but they were far from their best at Southampton

The same goes for Roberto Firmino (£9.5m), who outscored Salah in this game but did not necessarily offer much more than him across the course of the game.

We pointed out in Gameweek 1 that the Brazilian had registered more shots than Salah against Norwich, but it was the Egyptian who had more efforts on goal in this game.

Southampton asked plenty of questions of the European champions in the opening 45 minutes, Nathan Redmond (£6.5m) exploiting space on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s (£7.0m) side of the pitch.

The former Norwich midfielder saw a fierce effort go wide early on before Che Adams (£6.0m) dragged just beyond the far post from a corner.

Goalkeeper Adrian (£4.5m), who came through an ankle injury scare, was very much at the heart of Southampton’s attacking play for much of the game.

Early on, his clearance was charged down by James Ward-Prowse (£6.0m), setting the tone for the afternoon.

For long periods, the former West Ham man kept his side in the game, his most impressive save a point-blank stop from a Maya Yoshida (£4.5m) header after a Southampton corner.

Adrian was at the heart of the narrative for Liverpool’s win over Southampton

Adrian also made some good saves in the second half too, but ultimately it was exclusively his fault when Danny Ings (£6.0m) scored in the 83rd minute.

In almost a carbon copy of what happened with Ward-Prowse in the first half, his attempted clearance was charged down by the forward, who did not have to add a second touch to see the ball roll into an empty net.

“Yes (I have spoken to Adrian): ‘You finally arrived, welcome!’ Ali did the same. Obviously, it’s a goalie thing at Liverpool, no problem with that as long as we win the games. All good.” – Jurgen Klopp

The fact that Adrian allowed himself to get closed down on two occasions will not inspire confidence in owners of Liverpool defensive assets, especially those with a double-up in this department. That said, Klopp did insist that his team played him too many short passes today, in light of his recent injury. Maybe a return to full fitness for Gameweek 3 might help Adrian somewhat.

“Adrian had a swollen ankle and we played too many balls back to him in that period. I was happy with everything he did today, all the saves, all that stuff. The other players have to then feel more the responsibility for the build-up and cannot give all the balls back to him and hope the pain killers still help or whatever. I don’t think the goal was because of that, but a few other balls were. He is completely good with his feet. If you would have seen his ankle on Thursday after we left the plan then you would say even the pass before the [Southampton] goal was better than you would have expected! It is all fine.” – Jurgen Klopp

Owners of key Liverpool defensive assets were left disappointed on Saturday afternoon

Southampton burst into a late fight-back and probably should have levelled things up, Ings screwing wide from short-range shortly after busting Liverpool’s clean sheet.

Either way, after what Norwich achieved at Anfield in Gameweek 1, Southampton’s domination of this game will add further worry to those with Liverpool defenders.

Unfortunately for those invested in Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), or a combination, Liverpool did not get enough going to soften the blow of losing the clean sheet with some attacking returns.

Those concerned about the double-up especially will perhaps not be too excited about Arsenal coming to Anfield in Gameweek 3.

    Are these sensible moves?
    1FT, 1.0ITB
    Foster/4.0
    Rob VVD Digne AWB
    Salah Siggy Martial Perez
    Kane King
    (Lund Donk Greenwood)

    (1) VVD (or Digne if injury significant) to Laporte

    (2) King out for a hit - probably to Jota if he makes it through Thursday night ok

    My other worry is no Sterling so I could also do
    (3) Salah to Sterling for a hit

    Alternatively, WC?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      Why King out?

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      I don’t like any of those moves if I’m honest

    3. ALegendJ

      Check on Digne's fitness first

    A nice little tactical piece on why Sadio Mané is now playing more as a number 9 as he occupies more space across the front line.

      • 10 Years

      Hmmm not sure I agree with this. Liverpool's midfield isn't great going forward, that's why having Firmino central is so useful.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's what it's saying.
        I like the Rashford reference at the end. Interesting.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah was much, much further forward than Mane against Saints. He was playing as a striker during the defensive phase at times.

      I've suspected for a while that Klopp plays them differently depending on opposition, and the article you posted is starting to convince me. Makes them a little hard to predict.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Typical reactionary nonsense article from the Liverpool Echo. They'll be printing the opposite next week.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You mean The Manchester Echo since that where's the office is now and papers printed but yeah they don't half chat some waffle on there

  3. ALegendJ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you are on a WC, would you bring in Zinchenko or pay the extra mil for the safety of Laporte against PapRoullette

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Laporte

    2. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      When's Mendy back? Zinchenko should be safe until then I guess, but Laporte has played Left back too so he's probably a safer pick

      1. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No need for Mendy to be back to see Zinchenko benched, pep could easily play Laporte there, or Cancelo. That's my worry

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd want to be 100% sure Zink isn't carrying an injury; however if you're on a WC you can put him in now and change before deadline.

      1. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Even without an injury, Zin can be benched. But also the extra mil can upgrade somewhere else

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Unfortunately, I'd have neither. VVD beats Laporte at 6.5 and Coleman beats Zinchenko at 5.5.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Can have all, of course

      2. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Fixtures too good to not have a city defense especially with liver's shaky start. Coleman i sort of agree but can be rotation risk if Digne is fit

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I disagree, but hey, go with your gut 🙂

          Coleman isn't a rotation risk.

          1. ALegendJ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Thanks, isnt Sidibe lurking? 😀

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Somewhere, but he wasn't on the bench yesterday.

            2. Respect My Authoritah

              Nope. Backup

          City defence not looking too great either. The only clean sheet from 7 matches this Gw has been Everton.

          1. ALegendJ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I agree, but i think they will improve with the fixtures as well

      3. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You need to take a good look at the fixtures and the defensive stats of Liverpool and City.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I did and I'm still pretty set on that. City defence will keep the most clean sheets but that doesn't make those particular players better than the two options I mentioned. VVD and Coleman attacking returns win out.

          1. ALegendJ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Interesting outlook, the fact that you know city would keep most clean sheets, yet you prefer others for a potential attacking returns. I think Laporte on corners is a decent threat, or Zin from crosses if he managed to keep place

    5. waddles mullet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have Zinchenko, and I don't like it. It feels like a transfer waiting to happen. I'm never convinced when I actually see him play either. Cancelo can also play left side, so when fit that'll be further competition.

      So yeah, if you can find the extra mill, go Laporte.

      1. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, exactly my thoughts, but if Zin will start the next 4, then i think he would offer better value

    6. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years

      whats the wc team looking like

      1. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nothing set in stone tbh, im tinkering

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It'll prolly be desperately Liverpool-lite, which is why it will be an awful squad to carry for 18 GWs before the next WC.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          THIS.

        2. ALegendJ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Most people own Salah and double Liver defense, Salah stays, and i think laporte and a 4.5 can match vvd and robbo for instance, this will will help upgrade wilson to kane for example

    7. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have Zinch with at least 0.5 ITB and a good sub always ready for when Pep decides Zinch isn't worth the steady starts anymore (or Mendy's return). Digne's presence in my squad puts me off a double-up with Coleman, although it doesn't look so bad an idea now with Liverpool's defensive issues. Laporte just feels too expensive because of other places I'll spend the 0.5 in. I know he'll get FPL points, though

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My Everton triple-defence with their 2 clean sheets are keeping me top of my ML despite messing up my Salah (c) twice.

        1. ALegendJ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      I'd get Martial over Barnes. Not sold on United defence yet. The rest looks nice.

      1. Weasel Boy

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I think too heavy on def and gk, i would downgrade somewhere there and upgrade mid or fwd

  8. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Was pretty reluctant about Robbo + Locadia to Zinch + Pukki last week. Did it before Pukki rose to 6.6. Stunned by how well it worked

    Already done Wilson to Barnes at 6.5. 2.5 ITB, expecting Barnes to start paying off from GW5 though. Now I'm here thinking of losing TAA (and Trossard) as well, but holding back because I see him as a midfielder and those are some good fixtures for attacking returns... So, no Son for me. Plus it would mean another GW of -4 or more, and I'd rather not

    Fingers crossed. Here come the Son hat trick and TAA bench

    Pope; TAA, Zinch, Digne (yeah... I think he'll be fine); (S)terling, Salah, Martial, Trossard, Perez; Barnes, Pukki
    Woodman; Montoya (in case Digne isn't fine), Lund; Gallagher

    Gut says -8 and (S)on. Logic says Barnes is enough of a transfer this week. Looking to work Pepe in for GW5 with FTs. Would probably go with logic

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yuuuuuup. Thanks. Squad looks good for GW3 as it is anyway, so I can take the Spurs riot on the chin

  9. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of getting KDB in for Siggy. Need to find 1.5 million to fund it.

    Trent, VVD, Perez and Wilson o the chopping block.

    Any suggestions of who to sell?

    Team is:

    Ryan
    Trent VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Siggy** Perez
    Wilson Jota

    Cheers

    1. Pukki Party

          King if you trust him, good fixtures after next week. Soton fwd at 6.0 leaves you money itb too.

    2. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      TAA to boly

      1. fantasyfog

        Even with his crazy attacking threat?

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Slightly left-field, but I wish I could see your bench before suggesting this:

      VVD to Montoya now, then your 4.5 mid to Cantwell for GW4 (play him and bench Montoya), then your 4.0/4.5 D to Lowton/Pieters GW5. This should leave you with some change in the bank for other moves

      Thing is, I plan too much. So what I'm suggesting won't please everyone 😀

  10. teknicolourfox

    Please help... Time to WC already? 1 ft with 1.5m in bank. 28 points this week

    Pickford | Fabianski
    Ake | AWB | TAA | Zinchenko | Duffy

    Salah | Wijnaldum | Townsend | McGinn | Siggurdson

    Wilson | Rashford | Murray

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      WC time imo

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hmmm wijnaldum, Townsend and Murray looking the dodgy picks there. Trouble is they are all cheap so hard to manoeuvre money to get a big hitter like sterling or kane which I think your team could do with.... think you could do with spending less on your bench players as well
      ... wildcard potentially a good option

    3. fantasyfog

      any players left? low scoring week all round

      Just Rashford to play.

      My missus and her brother captained Pukki this week

  11. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is it a viable strategy to do Salah to Mane if i'm captaining Sterling and a Liverpool attacker who's playing at home? Gameweeks 7 and 9 only midterm fixtures when both play away, you can captain against Sheffield and Palace those weeks.

      Nothing is going to change regarding Salah, he's still going to be in the race for the golden boot and get big hauls, it's kind of a sideways move in my opinion

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        True, and even if i captain Sterling Salah will still get more points compared to Mane. A sideways move saving 1m doesn't sound that bad though.

      2. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        so will mane for 1 mil less

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Personally I still think Salah is better pick... share of set pieces and Pena when Milner is off the pitch should make him better value... if you won't captain him then maybe it makes more sense to sell him but he will still be a hugely popular captain pick so the safe option is just to keep him.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree, cheers.

  12. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    That Balbuena dropping I never saw coming. Got him over a 4.0 purely for nailedness

  13. Kirrielad
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What does the play free hit chip mean, I’m not understanding the description on the FF page.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's a one-week wild card. After that GW your squad goes back to what you had before.

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In a free hit you can make as many transfers as you like but the players are only in your team for one GW. Your team returns back to what it was the next week.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      6 years?

      You get to pick a new team for one week. After the gameweek your team reverts back to your original team, and team value changes according to your old team.

    4. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Basically means a 1 week wildcard then all changes revert back to the week previous.

  14. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pulisic to risky?

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      See what happens today

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Will know after today's game

    3. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      whos risky? i'd stick

  15. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone watch the Everton game yesterday? How did Siggy look?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Decent. Everton don't look like they'll score many goals

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bit of a tricky one then. I want to hold because the fixtures are still so good, but he's the easiest way to make funds to use elsewhere by switching to Martial/Lanzini

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'd sell for Martial in a heartbeat

          1. Carlton_Goal
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            cheers for the advice, will wait until after the United game of course but that could be the way to go for me. Thinking potentially Siggy + King > Martial and Pukki

            1. Ha.
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Contemplated the same moves yesterday but don’t want to lose Siggy before Villa

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Created 2 chances for richarlison who should have done better. No shots that were close.

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think I'm moving him for KDB

      2. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, I'm struggling to decide what to do with him myself. So many cheaper options putting good performances in

  16. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.5m defender?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Soyuncu

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Let's see how today goes, but I'd be looking at him.

    2. MTPockets
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Think they have to be looked at in rotation terms - so depends who else you have

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Well Dendoncker and Lundstram can come in at times

      • Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Montoya, Dunk or Soyuncu look decent so far

    3. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo + Dendo -> AWB + KDB for free?

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I’d say yes

      2. yakirh

    4. olidooley

      Button Lundstram Dendoncker Greenwood

      1. Now I'm Panicking

        Strong team

    6. El Matador
      • 10 Years

      I really want to WC. Current team is

      Heaton
      Digne TAA VVD
      Salah Sterling Son Perez McGinn
      King Kean

      Kean was a risk but from now hopefully should start. Looking to WC to

      Adrian

      Mane Son Sterling KDB McGinn
      Jota/King Kean

      Thoughts?

      1. Now I'm Panicking

        I've got jota. Not sure on others.

      2. Pukki Party

        Jota but he has EL

      3. jomikijiq
        • 8 Years

        Jota

        Maybe Wesley if you want a more punty option

          That’s a great score. I’ve got 45 with Pérez and Jota left to play, 2ft in the bank looking forward to making some moves this week

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years

            Nice. Yep, I got in Pukki last night and figuring out who to sell for KDB today

      5. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Andy_Social
          • 11 Years

          49 with 3 Wolves to come. I need to chase down a 5-point gap to my ML rival. Touch-and-go.

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years

            Harry Wilson got the goal

        Best way to bring KDB in my team?

        Heaton/Button
        Vvd/Taa/Digne/(Diop)/(Rico)
        Salah/Sterling/Fraser/Perez/Trossard
        Wilson/Pukki/(Greenwood)

        A or B? Other options?

        Fraser&Perez > KDB&Cantwell
        Fraser&Wilson > KDB&Adams

      8. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Morning lads. Have 2ft on hand and will look to take a hit this week I think...

        Perez > McGinn
        Wilson > Pukki (not perfect timing but need to release the funds and want him in a couple weeks anyway)
        Fraser > KDB

        Ryan
        TAA Robertson Zichenko Digne
        Salah McGinn KDB Sterling
        Jota Pukki

        4.0 Dendoncker Lundstram Greenwood

        In the right direction? Cheers

      9. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is Moura worth keeping 1 more week? I was going to sell for Pulisic or Martial but after yesterday's goal and the way Newcastle are defending, he could score well even if he comes off the bench.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'd keep for Newcastle, or go Son.

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think Im keeping for the foreseeable future now. He will get a lot of minutes and the team generally play very attacking whenever hes on the pitch.

        3. Optic1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Getting on Pulisic early could be the move. There's something about Martial that I don't like.

        4. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Get rid - continual rotation risk, not worth the headache every week.

        5. H-SF
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not sure Dele will be back until after international break and although Son is returning I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lucas start the next two games.

        6. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I would ditch if I had him. But see if any players catch your eye today or tomorrow.

        7. danlynch13
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hard one to call I wanted to do him > KDB but could back fire

        8. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I’m keeping for the time being but will upgrade to Son eventually

        9. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          One of those where I'd sell if nothing else needs doing and you're rolling the other free, but hold in all other cases.

      10. United10
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Time for Fraser and Wilson out?

      11. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Silva on Digne's injury: "We hope nothing really special. He started to feel a bit more tired and gave the sign to me to make the change."

        Sounds like he should be fine then. But strange he was sub-worthy tired at 70 minutes at this stage of the season.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Typical millennial slacker - can you imagine Stuart Pearce crying to the bench that he's tired and wants to come off?

        2. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe he captained himself in FPL and wanted to bank the clean sheet?

        3. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I posted this earlier and someone replied with...

          Trouble is the context added here from the Everton site saying it's a muscular problem

          “We hope it is nothing really special,” Silva told evertontv.

          “He started to feel a bit more tired [in the muscle] and gave the sign to me to make the change.

          “Let’s see in the next few days [the extent of Digne’s problem] but we hope it is nothing special.”

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Oh, I see. Thanks.

      12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sticking to the plan. Kane goes straight in and gets the armband.
