Salah still searching for first away goal as Sheff Utd frustrate Liverpool

Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool

Goals: Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.4m)

Assists: None

Bonus Points: Joel Matip (£5.5m) x 3, Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) x 2, Wijnaldum x 1

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is still searching for his first away goal of the Premier League season as Liverpool were frustrated by a determined Sheffield United side on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds maintained their 100% winning start to the campaign, courtesy of a Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.4m) goal but they really owed their win to Blades goalkeeper Dean Henderson (£4.5m).

He had shaped to make a routine stop from Wijnaldum’s shot but somehow the ball squirmed underneath him and across the line – a cruel way for Sheffield United to lose a game they probably deserved something from.

Salah is still waiting for his first away goal of the Premier League season

Sadio Mané (£11.6m) frustrated his 21.4% ownership with two golden opportunities in the first half, both of which he missed.

The first saw the Senegalese international put clean through on goal with just Henderson to beat, but he fluffed his lines and sliced his shot over the crossbar.

The next chance saw some rare insightful penetration and drive from Liverpool’s frontline, as Roberto Firmino (£9.6m) selflessly laid off a perfectly weighted pass – but Mané’s shot cannoned back off the post.

After Henderson’s blunder, he made up for things by producing an excellent stop to deny Salah who was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and arguably should have scored.

Mané was particularly wasteful in the first half

As the debate over which Liverpool attacking to own continues to drag on for Fantasy managers, Saturday’s performance was a timely reminder that both Salah and Mané are liable to performances that are lacking a clinical cutting edge. 

For those managers who had captained Salah, (nobody was issued with more armbands than Gameweek 7 than him), this was a disappointing return from the Egyptian who has now scored just one goal in his last four Premier League fixtures.

Furthermore, he remains goalless away from home, all but two of his seven attacking returns this season taking place at Anfield.

The Salah vs Mané debate is proving tricky for Fantasy managers

Mané has previously looked more reliable on the road, with 21 points scored across trips to Southampton and Burnley. However, he is without an attacking return away from home since that Gameweek 4 goal at Turf Moor.

Of course, we have to give credit to Sheffield United who certainly made life very hard work for Liverpool. The Reds were unable to fashion too many clearcut chances in the opening period as they struggled to get to grips with Chris Wilder’s 3-5-2 system.

Klopp’s side emerged for the second half with some more enthusiasm and, temporarily, with an altered tactical system. Fabinho (£5.5m) dropped back to form a defensive trio with Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Joel Matip (£5.5m), while Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) and Andy Robertson (£6.9m) moved into extremely attacking positions on alternative wings for a short spell, before reverting to their natural flanks. 

Liverpool can thank Dean Henderson for his error which led to their only goal of the game

Yet despite Klopp’s evident intentions to attack the Blades through the wide areas, it was the unlikely hero in Wijnaldum who struck a shot that the Blades’ keeper Henderson ultimately should have saved. 

For owners of Liverpool’s uncharacteristically inconsistent defence, this was an important result for managers who have retained the faith in their assets. Despite becoming recognised as clean-sheet powerhouses in the 2018/19 season, so far in the current Premier League campaign, Klopp’s side has been unable to replicate that same level of defensive consistency. 

However, owners of the still-popular Alexander-Arnold and Robertson, this was an important game in keeping their defensive returns ticking over, although it was the centre-backs who emerged with the bonus points.

As mentioned, it was a largely frustrating afternoon for the Reds who were certainly not at their best but huge credit must go to Sheffield United for their fearless performance that did not deserve defeat. 

The Blades could have been understandably overwhelmed by the visit of the reigning champions of Europe, yet Wilder’s side refused to bow to the pressure that Jurgen Klopp’s side attempted to conjure up. 

Mostly focussed down Alexander-Arnold’s flank, the attacking duo of Callum Robinson (£5.3) and Oli McBurnie (£5.9) tested Liverpool’s backlin with the former’s well-hit shot drifting wide of Adrian’s (£4.6) far post.

Callum Robinson was substituted 11 seconds before he would earned two extra points for playing the hour and keeping a clean sheet

John Lundstram (£4.4m), the club’s highest points scorer in 2019/20, came close after a terrific mazy run from John Fleck (£4.8m), but Wilder’s side were unable to score despite the number of promising opportunities they created throughout the match. 

For Wilder, despite the result, this was a performance that epitomised the project he is attempting to build at the club in their pursuit of Premier League survival.

His side battled with unerring confidence to frustrate Liverpool, and managers considering investing in the likes of Lundstram or budget defenders such as John Egan (£4.5m) and Chris Basham (£4.5m) would be pleased to see such a defensively rigid performance from the Blades. 

Henderson came off in the second half after getting hurt earlier in the game – but Klopp confirmed there was no injury

Finally, there were some concerns that Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) suffered an injury in the game as he was replaced by Divock Origi (£5.3m) in the 64th minute.

Klopp confirmed after the match that the substitution was purely a tactical one to change the shape of the attack. With Firmino retaining the centre-forward role, he pulled Salah into a central number 10 position with Origi and Mané manning the flanks.

“No, it was an offensive change. We had the opportunity – either Hendo or Gini, both worked hard, for both it was not an easy game today. Obviously, we made the right decision, Gini stayed on the pitch and scored! We wanted to change our approach, so we could have then Bobby finally between the lines but still an option in behind with Mo. We needed to defend the wings properly because they are there constantly, that’s why we needed first Sadio and then Milly on that [right] wing. Div made a proper impact when he came on, it was really helpful that we could pass the ball there [for] the one-on-one situations and I think he crossed the ball before the goal as well. So, that was the reason.” – Jurgen Klopp

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham, Stevens, Baldock, Lundstram; Norwood (Clarke 77’) Fleck, Robinson (Mousset 60’); McBurnie.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson (Origi 64’); Mane (Oxlade-Chamberlain 90+4’), Salah, Firmino (Milner 87’)

    Is there a way of checking how many teams still have double LFC defence? I think they tighten up over the next few weeks, nows the time to own 2

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      United, Spurs & City between GW9-12 though.

      I currently have double Pool but I'm tempted to sell VVD after this week.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        United easier game than Sheffield Utd lad.

        1. AndyCook
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Not defensively

          • Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            They will have to do pretty will to not concede away to OT.

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I want to fit in Robbo. Already have TAA. These two look like they are going to kill it points wise. Attackers in your defence.

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Attackers who are not in your defense need to sacrificed though, if you want to get both.

      3. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would be interesting to see the stats on goals conceded against top teams.

        I have double and I think I'm going to hold.

        Could easily just end up with several tight games and Liverpool winning the home ones 1-0

        Let's be honest about united though, it's United means nothing anymore. I will DEFINITELY be playing a double Liverpool defence

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yarmolenko or McGinn?

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve owned McGinn since game week 2 and haven’t been disappointed. He loves to shoot.

        1. Bavarian
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks for the input mate

      2. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yarmolenko is very tempting. 3 nice home fixtures in the next 4.
        McGinn has City and Pool after next 2.

    3. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why are Kuns points still stinking up my team.

      Please remove these Ill gotten gainz.

      Cheaters never prosper.

    4. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Aurier owners should consider Cresswell

      1. Party time
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Lol... you're joking right

        • Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Is he nailed?

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            21 pts in 2 weeks.should be.

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Only if FPL points dictated whether a player is nailed in real life 😀

            2. Party time
                4 years, 6 months ago

                fab injured could be a factor

              • Party time
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Don't know who roberto is tho, he could be a great goalie

            3. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Prefer Diop, Cresswell won't keep this rate of scoring goals up.

              1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                As a straight swap at the same price as Aurier, he surely has more attacking threat than Diop? Takes quality set pieces and gets forward alot

            4. Slitherene
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              They could consider Boly too.

          2. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Thinking about Salah and Fraser (don't ask) to Son and Pepe (If he looks good tomorrow) -4

            What do you reckon? No other Spurs, Arse or Pool attack

            1. DeadStarComing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Losing Salah is always risky. People only ever talk about it after a blank. He could haul again next week.

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                he could. @12.5 he needs to haul nearly every week

                1. FOO FIGHTER
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Salah will come good. Same can be said about Sterling needing to haul every week at his price. Sterling is not proving that much value. Not ripping up any trees.

                  1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Neither is Salah.

                    1. FOO FIGHTER
                      • 4 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      What is the point of getting rid of him though?

                      Form is temp, class is perm.

                      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        The same can be said about Sterling.

                2. DeadStarComing
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I don’t fully agree. Nobody hauls every week. I actually think he’s fairly priced as he’s one of the most likely scorers every week and a decent captain week most weeks. He has been the highest scoring player for 2 seasons, and is 3rd currently this season. That must be worth something.

            2. DAZZ
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Hmmm its these poor run of games Salah goes on were people dump him, and then end up regretting it later

            3. Flaming Flamingo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Think I'd want to keep Salah for the Leicester game. Could work out though, but I'd want to keep an eye on Son's minutes in the CL since he could be at risk of rotation.

            4. mookie
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Pepe not looking like he is worth that price at all. From Arsenal it's either Auba or no one for me.

            5. All For One
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Wouldn't get Pepe yet has looked crap only 1 goal scored gifted by Auba

            6. AndyCook
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Pepe would have to tear it up tomorrow for me to fancy that. Players cheaper than Fraser who look decent options

                1. Wild Rover
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I think this is the sensible approach. Cheers all

              • Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Son is a great option but Spurs aren't in a good shape imo.
                I'd hold Mo instead WR
                Fraser however has to go. Can get McGinn/Mount/Yarmalenko for him

              • _Freddo

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Really hard to sell Salah before a game at Anfield.

              What's the average team value now then?

              I'm 101.2 with 1.7itb = 102.9

                101.1, this season I realised TV doesn't reflect the rank. Callum Wilson is the perfect example.

                    I wouldn’t be so sure. The fact we haven’t heard anything Kiet suggests is still being considered, and city are pulling out all the stops to try and stop it.

                      Not really. City won the league by being the better side every game they won

                  1 or 2 guys?

                  I don’t think it’s worth switching Zinchenko to Ota, Man City defence is terrible without Laporte

                    After IB when Lacazette back Aubameyang is not going to be as attractive presumably?

                      On the contrary, he might even get better. Still on pens, still plays very close to the goal even if he starts as a winger on paper, and has excellent chemistry with Laca which could add Assists to his goals.

                      If Pepe also finds form, Auba could become the ultimate FPL option

                        Villa conceding alot though and you know Norwich are a different goalscoring machine at home.

                        Definitely his last week in my team looking at upgrading him to Wilson/Vardy in GW9.

                            Starting VVD over AWB/Lund looks correct though right?

                    I am going to be honest and say looks like KDB is the best asset to own from City and Mahrez now following closely in second.

                    Seems like Aguero has gone off the boil. If he cannot haul big time vs Wolves I will be moving him on.

                      Aguero gone off the boil?

                      Has even blanked yet??

                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Mahrez is totally reliant on starting games which is still not close to a certainty. Aguero is always going to struggle to score when not on the pitch for long.

                        Ignoring Aguero is the worst mistake I've made this season alongside Wilson.
                        Probably going to correct myself after a gw.

                        Don’t think Kun has gone off the boil but he is very much a rotation risk as Jesus is very capable himself, Sterling is the only player that can and prefers playing on the left wing so less rotation and early subs for hkm

                      What percentage of FPL towers own and capatained Kun Aguero.

                        Not an assist imo, but I can see why statisticians would give it.

                          Just had a better look at it. Definite assist imo. It was a rebound from a shot

                        I'm a bit stuck on what to do with the below, got 1 ITB and 1 FT

                              Bloody hell 😀
                              Do it. That's too good bet to turn down imo
                              Just be ready to take a hattrick out of nowhere from Mo. That takes a lot of pain i know as i sold him before his hattrick last season 😀

                                Yeh it’s tempting. I’d probably ship Pukki. It would be between Wilson,Firmino Or Vardy.
                                Putting Maddison in Cantwell place would cause massive benching headaches.

                          same moves as me. am doing it with 2 fts.

                          Then will either get Maddison for Cantwell or Vardy/Firm for Pukki the week after with the spare change. Time to play more aggressive

                            Ha ha. Just made that comment above about Vardy.
                            Wouldn’t Cantwell > Maddison give you benching heartache?

                              it would but if Pukki fires again then I really wont wanna lose him. Will worry about that in a week!

                        Start one of Barnes, Cantwell (got Pukki) or Lunds next week?

                        Currently on Barnes. His last chance ...

                          thing is if id sold him for kdb several weeks ago....id still be the one laughing

                            Some of us have Sterling and KDB

                          Patience rewarded. Some sold for a hit and he outscored their captain.

                            I did keep him.
                            But I'm still not impressed by him mate
                            Aguero is so much involved whenever on pitch

                              Can't disagree with that.
                              What is really annoying me is that he's making those runs at the far post for the tap in, but Bilva and Mahrez can't cross with their right foot and they turn to get the left footed cross in, which is not so effective. Especially for Sterling.

                              1. Amey
                                • 5 Years

                                Agreed
                                Mahrej is selfish as it gets.
                                Raz has huge potential for haul though.
                                Tap in goals are frequent in City style so ...
                                Maybe Sane Injury wasn't so cool for Raz.
                                RW would have suited him more

                          Yeah
                          He's very soft 😀
                          Soft punishment !

                          Lol. It was more of a mild rebuke rather than a punishment.

                          I'll consider myself suitably punished by him outscoring his replacement by 3 points. Season over!

                        Probably will bench aurier

                        Benching crisis, who would you swap VVD or Digne with? 1FT with £0.1 ITB too, is there anything you would change?

                          Yup can see alot of benched points this week.

                          I would start VVD/Digne over Lundstram I guess.

                            Maybe it's a call for my bench boost...

                            1. Karan14

                              Maybe it's time to downgrade the defenders.
                              We've got a pretty similar defence. I have AWB over Digne.

                                I could do VVD > Tomori

                        Who to bin? Whoever stays will be benched this week so could ride out suspension for Aurier:

                        A) Aurier: suspended, WAT, liv, eve, SHU, whu
                        B) Montoya: TOT, avl, EVE, NOR, mun, LEI

                        Who to get?

                        1) Tomori (sou, NEW, bur, wat, CRY, mci)

                          Probably look to downgrade a defender to get Son.

                        What I don’t understand is how isn’t Kdb 10.5 already?! His price should be flying by the way he is playing

                          Think his ownership was already around 20-25% before GW1. That's probably why.. Is went from under 10% to 43% (which he is now), he would have risen to 10.5
