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’)

      How is your current team a mess.

      Selling salah frees up a lot of cash like selling your house and moving in to a cardboard box does.

        Aurieir to Tomori save 1m and upgrade Guend and you'll be good.

          thanks all

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Righto, who's with me? Three Man City mids. I trade in Mane for Mahrez then have an extra $3M to play with for someone exciting up front...maybe Firm.

        The problem I have with that is that Pep still doesn't seem to give a rats about my fantasy team standings the selfish git.

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mahrez has looked excellent to me this season.

          I just think it’s too much rotation risk as if you triple up it’s conceivable 2+ of them get rested in a week.

          With sterling /KDB/ Aguero hard tp see how any more than 1 of those misses out each week

        2. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's not the worst idea in the world, especially if you've got decent bench cover when Mahrez or one of the others doesn't play (I assume the other two being KDB and Sterling).

          Who do you have upfront that you'd upgrade to Firmino?

          1. Any Laporte in a Storm
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I got Tammy, Haller and Pukki. I'd upgrade Pukki.

            Yeah, patience is my watchword this season. For so many years I've been ill-disciplined and have a very itchy trigger finger on transfers. I would make that move to Mahrez if I didn't care but much but it would do my head in when I saw him on the bench. I need to wait and see what Pep has planned for him this year. He's working his way onto the team sheet though which is a good start.

        3. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          it would be fine if you didnt come back in a weeks time asking if you should sell mahrez when hes benched, which is what everyone who brought in bilva and dilva did

        4. AndyCook
            4 years, 6 months ago

            It’s ten minute one pointers and the fear you don’t get a good captain playing that’s the problem potentially

        5. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm hoping for a Vardy Party today.

            1-0 tielemans winner 🙂

          2. Carlton_Goal
            • 8 Years

            As long as they get the clean sheet for Soyuncu too 🙂

          3. Arteta
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            +1

        6. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Torn between two different options for getting rid of Digne

          A) Digne > Otamendi
          B) Digne + Dendoncker > Tomori/Ward/Dunk + Hudson-Odoi/Yarmolenko

          Rest of defence is TAA, Masuaku, Soyuncu, Lundstram
          Rest of midfield is Salah, Sterling, KDB, Cantwell

          Looking to play 3-4-3 most weeks

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            ota is less of a punt and better value than yarmo, cho isnt remotely nailed (yet)

            1. Carlton_Goal
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah CHO would more be a differential punt trying to get him in before he hits form. Otamendi would seem the sensible option but I'm starting to feel uneasy about starting Cantwell every week (although he is still great value for his price)

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                city next 4 are unmissable

                1. Carlton_Goal
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah you're right. Cheers for talking some sense into me 🙂 Otamendi it is

              2. POLSKA GOLA
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Cantwell (and all Norwich assets including Pukki) are excellent for home games but benchable for away fixtures. Still consider them great value however Cantwell may be making way in my team for someone like McGinn at some point depending on fixtures

          2. Bun Rab
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            A but only because you want to play 4 in MF and you have 4 solid starters.

            1. Carlton_Goal
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Cheers, Cantwell being a solid starter is the part I'm starting to have doubts about.

              1. Bun Rab
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                3 returns in 7 is still good returns for 4.5/5m mid. No one in that price range is even close.

          3. POLSKA GOLA
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Hard to look past Otamendi, depending on your team steucture but Digne to Otamendi seams the most sensible transfer, no need to overcomplicate with multiple transfers

          Who are WC's targeting?

          Has to be Auba, Son and Kane I reckon.
          Yarmolenko as well.

                  I think Wilson better value than the other three unless captaining

            • TheDragon

              I reckon those players are in relatively few people who are wildcardings plans.

              Which is interesting as they should be!

              But trouble is city and Chelsea fixtures are excellent too.

              I’m considering WC over IB so would be interested in what you think a WC team now should look like.

                  You wouldn't double on Mount and Tammy?

              I’m tempted to double up on Auba & Kane. No place for Som though

              • 11 Years

              Those with TAA and KdB as well.

                Thats a given.

              4 years, 6 months ago

              I'm steering well clear of Kane. Auba, Son and Yarm are all options. I'd be looking at Leicester and Chelsea too. Other than that, the norm. Lots of City. TAA and maybe a Pool attacker, McGinn, Pukki and Lunds.

            • The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Probably Wilson, Vardy and maybe Maddison when I use it over IB.

            • EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years

              yes, spurs look amazing right now

                I have 8/10 top 10k EO players. Hard to see how I’m going to make any ground on them with Tomori over VVD and Greenwood over Aguero being my only differentials right now lol

            VvD + Iwobi -> TAA + Yarm or Tielemans?

            1. Bun Rab
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Prefer Yarm if he stays fit.

          5. FleckyT
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Aurier replacement?

            A) Cresswell
            B) Tomori

            1. CelticBhoy1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              B

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              B only as i'm not sure how long Cresswell will keep his place.

              • 8 Years

              B, Cresswell will likely be rotated at some point

              4 years, 6 months ago

              Would love to but just don't trust Pep to play him every week. Great price if he claims a league place.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Pope
            Digne TAA Otamendi
            Cantwell Salah Sterling KDB Mount
            Abraham Pukki
            Heaton/Lundstram/Greenwood/Rico (1.1itb, 1ft)

            Tempted to save, but then it feels like post-gw8 will suit a wildcard (still have it). Any thoughts?

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              no need to wc if you roll this week

              1. Fpl Richie
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I'd probably be doing Digne to Tomori/Soyuncu and Cantwell to Maddison if I keep the 2ft for gw9

                1. EMBOLOFAN
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  unless you desperately want auba in for salah i think thats sensible

                  1. Fpl Richie
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    I'd certainly pick him up on WC, will look at it.
                    I'm also tempted with Pukki to Wilson or Vardy (after gw8).

                    1. EMBOLOFAN
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      pukki doesnt need to score many to be better value then those 2

            2. POLSKA GOLA
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              If you did Digne to Tomori we’d have identical teams lol

          8. The Train Driver
            • 8 Years

            Never kept my WC for this long, feels weird...

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              its a big advantage imo

              1. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                When to use it is the question

                I’ve still got mine but in hindsight I’d be 50+ points better off if I’d used it in week 3/4

                1. EMBOLOFAN
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  there’s a bit of a fixture turn around gw15, i’ll probably deadend my team into that

              I notice that a lot of people in my ML have wildcarded this week, but I want to keep mine till a bit later if possible. Rolling with triple City attack until GW 13 then bringing in 'pool assets seems a reasonable approach, right?

              1. Bun Rab
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah. If you haven't used WC yet then no rush. I think City and 'Pool attackers are all season long players though.

            6. Nightcrawler

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I personally think it depends on whether Madison starts or not

            7. Ci Siamo
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Hi guys, I went a bit maverick on my WC two weeks ago without including any Liverpool attack and including the likes of Wilson and Auba instead.

              Currently on 69 points this GW and don't want to fall into the trap that I can get away without a Liverpool attacker.

              Do I continue playing 'my own game' and see how long I can milk the no Liverpool attack?

              1. POLSKA GOLA
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yes, seems good strategy to gain ground if you have good Captain for each week.
                69 points this week is a big green arrow surely
