Liverpool defence still suspect but attacking returns continue to flow

LIVERPOOL 2-1 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

  • Goals: Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) x2 | Lewis Dunk (£4.6m)
  • Assists: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) x2 | Leandro Trossard (£5.8m)
  • Red cards: Alisson (£6.0m)
  • Bonus: van Dijk x3, Alexander-Arnold x2, Dunk x1

Two early headers from Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) were all Liverpool needed to extend their lead atop the Premier League to 11 points, both set up by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) crosses from dead-ball situations.

However, the Anfield crowd had to drag their team over the line thanks to a red card for goalkeeper Alisson (£6.0m) that led to Lewis Dunk’s (£4.6m) consolation goal for Brighton and Hove Albion.

For all the attacking flair and assist potential of full-backs Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), it’s van Dijk who scores most of all three. Last season his four goals comfortably exceeded their combined one, whilst today’s brace adds to his opening-day strike against Norwich.

The 6ft 4in centre-back found himself in enough space to head home a fairly central Alexander-Arnold free-kick after 18 minutes, rising above Adam Webster (£4.4m) to loop over Matthew Ryan (£4.7m). Then, six minutes later, the same combination made it 2-0 from a corner.

In the first half, Jurgen Klopp’s side were easy on the eye, playing with the verve and confidence of a team that knew they were about to go 11 points clear of Man City, after the champions could only draw 2-2 at Newcastle at lunchtime.

The Liverpool boss said of his side’s display:

We would have loved if we would have finished one more, two more, more often and it looks much more comfortable, but that’s our situation. I don’t want to change it, it’s like it is. There will be days when we will score from situations like that and will probably not use our set-pieces, that’s how it is. But you have to score goals and we did that often enough to win the game and that’s good.

Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) and Sadio Mane (£12.2m) had a fruitless afternoon but it wasn’t for a lack of trying in the latter’s case.

Ryan’s fine save from a Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) shot in the 16th minute denied the Senegalese winger an assist, while the in-form premium midfielder could have been on the scoresheet himself soon after when being thwarted by the busy Australian.

Mane also found himself in space around the penalty spot on the hour-mark but couldn’t get good contact and the chance went begging.

Salah returned to the line-up after his Gameweek 13 benching but made very little impact apart from hitting the side-netting in the 12th minute. He was replaced by Adam Lallana (£5.8m) in the 69th minute, although the Egyptian preserved a clean sheet point to get the last laugh over Mane owners.

While Salah’s recent struggles with an ankle injury are off-putting, he and Mane remain enticing options for the next three Gameweeks and – if it wasn’t for the Club World Cup postponing their Gameweek 18 fixture – there would even be an argument for owning both against Everton (h), Bournemouth (a) and Watford (h).

The absence of Fabinho (£5.5m), meanwhile, saw Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) resume the ‘number six’ role that he had occupied before his recent reinvention as a right-sided central midfielder.

Klopp said:

We had to replace Fabinho today which is a tough one because it’s like we were really used to these things without really thinking about it. Hendo played a sensational game in that position together with Gini and Ox. It was a really good performance but we had to work really hard. And what I liked most, that the boys were ready to do that.

Liverpool looked set to finally keep their first clean sheet in seven games and only their third of the season. The second half had been a dull affair, with the Reds conserving their energy knowing that they have ten games to come in a gruelling December.

Whilst the streak of 18 home games where either Salah, Mane or Firmino had scored was about to end, at least they were cruising to a relaxing victory.

Then goalkeeper Alisson was sent off for a deliberate handball outside of his area and everything quickly changed. A long Brighton ball over the home defence set free Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), who poked the ball up onto the advancing stopper’s hands for a straight red card.

On came Adrian (£4.2m) for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.2m) and the reserve Liverpool custodian was instantly picking the ball out of the net after Dunk – once getting the nod to take the kick early – casually passed the resulting free-kick into the corner.

Klopp said of Alisson’s dismissal:

Of course, life became more complicated with the red card and the change we had to make. We had to bring on a frozen goalkeeper pretty much! Everybody sitting here is probably not really warm yet, but imagine you go there in shorts, a really thin shirt and some gloves which are not made for keeping you warm.

Some people let the free-kick happen like that and then you look a little bit silly in that moment, but that’s what you have to accept.

We kept on fighting and Adrian especially helped us a lot with two really, really good saves and crosses he caught and stuff like this.

Suddenly things got nervy for the home side when former Huddersfield midfielder Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) forced Adrian into a low stop. Two minutes later, the substitute spilled a comfortable save right at the feet of substitute Neal Maupay (£5.9m). The Reds held on to make it 13 wins from 14 league matches but those looking for reassurance that Klopp’s troops are tightening up at the back wouldn’t have been given any indication of that on Saturday.

Alisson will be suspended for Wednesday’s Merseyside derby with Everton, although Liverpool’s only two clean sheets of the season did come under his deputy’s watch.

Truth be told, there were still some hairy moments for Liverpool’s defence even before the red card. Alisson made a good save from Davy Propper (£4.9m) in the first half, shortly followed by a Dunk sitter where the centre-back scuffed a shot wide with his knee.

Dunk then narrowly headed wide a Pascal Gross (£6.4m) corner in the 54th minute, before a Martin Montoya (£4.5m) cross was superbly controlled and shot by Aaron Connolly (£4.7m) eight minutes later.

The goalscorer made some crucial contributions at the other end, firstly blocking an Oxlade-Chamberlain effort after a superb run and pull-back from Robertson. Just before the Alisson incident, Dunk got in the way of a shot that followed Alexander-Arnold’s burst into the box.

Graham Potter said of the Seagulls’ efforts:

We put a lot into the game and played with a lot of courage. We weren’t quite as aggressive as we needed to be in the first 20 minutes, so that’s a learning point for us, but we have a really good account of ourselves against a top team.

Potter again went with a four-man backline this weekend and opted for 19-year-old Connolly over Maupay up front, despite the latter’s 19 goal attempts only being bettered by Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) over the last six Gameweeks. As promising as those numbers sound ahead of a run of fixtures against Wolves (h), Crystal Palace (a) and Sheffield United (h), only one of those 19 shots resulted in a goal.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Adrian 78’); Salah (Lallana 69’), Firmino (Origi 76’), Mane.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-5-1): Ryan; Montoya (Alzate 69’), Webster, Dunk, Burn; Gross, Bissouma (Trossard 69’), Stephens, Propper, Mooy; Connolly (Maupay 76’).

    Have Lundstram and Soyuncu.

    Which replacement for Pope?

    Guaita, Henderson or Schmeichel?

    1. AndyCook
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Henderson due to price

      • Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm going for Henderson

      • diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I've gone Guaita. Which probably means you should go for someone else.

      • S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Henderson. Would have brought in him for gw15 but I need to deal with Martial first

      • Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Schmeichel.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Think I am going Guaita. Plum fixtures plus avoiding double ups.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I think it will be a very silly decision in hindsight.

            Why would you pay 5.0m for a Crystal Palace goalkeeper who's prone to the odd rotation over Henderson who has great fixtures coming up or Schmeichel, the goalie for the BEST defense in the league, just to avoid double ups.

            Leicester defensive double is a really nice sword to have for the next 3 when people will only have one usually.

      • Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Schmeichel

      • pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Guaita I think

        SU double up looks ok short term but horrible midterm.

        Is Schmeichel a good use of Leicester a set?

    2. Oh Maddison
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Any news on Tammy? I´ve read that he could be back Wednesday?

      1. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He indicated he's hopeful. Wait and see

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He was high on pain relief medication.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Abraham is still sold today, even though it seems he’ll play on Wednesday

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lampard says 'may have a chance' vs Villa. Sounds more hope than expectation.

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

    4. ⓙⓚⓙⓚ
      • 9 Years

      Alli or Son?

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I went to Alli due to budget constraints

      2. conorbon
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I have both, Jose will want to make a point against Utd.

        1. ⓙⓚⓙⓚ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          How does your midfield look like?

      3. AndyCook
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Alli due to price but depends on your team and what you could do with the money

      4. Foozeball
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Is it time to sell Mount? Who should I consider getting to replace him for 7m or less? Currently have JWP, Tielemans, and Grealish as possible ideas

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Zaha

          1. Foozeball
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Is Zaha getting back in form? I haven't watched Palace at all recently

            1. dunas_dog
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years

              Yes and great fixtures- will also want to put himself in shop window for January transfer move!

              1. Foozeball
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Thanks! I had forgotten that Palace have such a good run of games now too

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Grealish

      5. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Hold or sell Barnes? They play Watford at home!

      6. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Crikey...... Help please...!?

        Who to bench this week....
        Mane KDB Pulisic Mount Maddison
        Vardy Rashford Ings

        So tough this call.....

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mount

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

        2 free transfers. Feel it's time for Martial to go. What other moves should I be looking at?

        Gazzaniga Button
        TAA Robertson Tomori Soyuncu Lundstram
        Sterling Martial Maddison Mount Dendoncker
        Vardy Aubameyang Jimenez

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Martial to Alli and Mount to Zaha?

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Martial to Son Mount to Zaha for me

            1. AndyCook
                4 years, 3 months ago

                These are both more expensive pairs..

          2. Teomi
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Martial Alli
            Mount Grealish

        2. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Very tempted but Tammy to Mousset

          But ... have a good bench....already finding it hard to choose who to bench out of
          A) Soyuncu vs Watford at home
          B) Lundstram vs New Castle at home
          C) Tomori vs Aston Villa at home
          D) Cantwell vs Southampton away

          Leaning towards D despite the recent form

          1. ⓙⓚⓙⓚ
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            You'll need the bench when the squad rotations begins this month.

            I'd say Tomori. Söyüncü a close second.

        3. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sell Martial or Mount?

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Both

          2. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Both. Priorities Martial though. Mount is a good option this week.

        4. Snapes on a Plane
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ings or Mousset ? Who is a better pick?

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Mousset. Great fixtures. 1m cheaper. Plays in an attacking team.

          2. Yann12
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Mousset cheaper and better team but I cannot make up my mind...

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

          How did Jimenez look today?

          Thinking about getting him, but if Mousset can do the job for less - with good fixtures - I’m tempted

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Brilliant

        6. Yann12
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mousset or Ings? why?

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

          Considering following scenarios:

          1) Pope to Henderson and next week, Maddison Jim to Dele Ings
          2) Tomori to Kelly and next week, Pulisic Maddison Auba to Son Dele Tammy -4
          3) Pope to Henderson and next week, Jim Maddison Hayden to Ayew Dele Grealish -4

          Thoughts?

          1. Zenith UK
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I'm doing Pope to Hendo this week and that's it... I won't get 2FTs next week but at least I won't take a hit also.

            1. Atimis
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah feel Pope should go

        9. Oh Maddison

          2 FTs

          Pope to
          1. Hendo
          2. Guita

          Martial to
          A. Puli
          B. Moura
          C. Anyone else around 7.7

          1. Oh Maddison
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Or worth taking a hit and take Tammy out for Mousset and do Martial to Son instead?

          2. AndyCook
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Moura didn’t start so not him

              unlucky not to deliver points I would say.

              If you sell you will probably won't regret. That said I am keeping for Watford.

            Which three to bench

            TAA Söyüncü Aurier Lundstram Tomori
            Maddison Mane KDB Pulisic Mount
            Ings Vardy Rashford

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Thinking Aurier

                Torn between Maddison and Mount at moment,... most Maddison’s points been away from home ...... Chelsea bounce back in my mind ....

                1. Jullepuu
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Aurier for sure. May as well toss a coin for the other one

            What would you do with this team? Pope to Guaita?

            Pope

              Yep go for it

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                also considering hendo who is cheaper but palace's fixtures continue blue for the next 10 GWs or so.

                Sheffield more solid at the back though.

                1. Gooner Kebab
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Get Hendo instead. Kelly at 4.1 will get your Palace defence cover.

                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    will I ever play him though?

                    Probably only in case of injuries / rotation

            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Mount to:

            A) Pulisic
            B) Zaha
            C) Save FT

            1. andres
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              A is the wise choice, B if you are feeling like something different - fixtures are amazing

              1. Cesc Pistols
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Exactly! I do need a differential, but I just cannot trust Palace, plus going without a Chelsea attacker could hurt, right?

                1. andres
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  yeah.. I am trying to figure out a way to get pulisic in, don't have the funds to do it without a hit though.

                  He is great to own.

                  That said you could find a way to get both in.

          8. SALVA
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            No pressing transfers..

            A) Gazza to Henderson
            B) Save

            Bench Tony Martial or Mason Mount?

            1. andres
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              sell mount.

              To answer the question I would probably bench Martial.

              1. andres
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                sell both ASAP.

          10. Doctor Evil
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Feel I have a good team but every week is naff, what would you do? Should I sell Martial? Pope? Tammy?

            I was thinking Martial & Tammy to Auba & Dendocker for -4 but don’t think it’s worth a hit.

            Also could just upgrade Button to a 4.4 keeper that plays if there is one? Get bench boost ready.

                4 years, 3 months ago

                have you seen him play?

                You don;t want to put yourself through this

                ? Adrian gets one game

                1. Doctor Evil
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Allison has 3 game ban straight red

                  1. have you seen cyan
                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    it wasnt a straight red, you dont get a red card for a handball outside the box

                    1. Wild Rover
                      • 13 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      It was a straight red but that doesn’t mean an automatic three game ban

                      1. have you seen cyan
                        • 4 Years

                      Only three games if it was dangerous play

                • 5 Years

                Any thoughts on the team though?

            2. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years

              A Son Alli double up is surely too much, no? Whos doing it?

              1. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Loads of people. It will all end in tears

                1. andres
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  exactly.

              2. Gooner Kebab
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Tempted, but will probably get Zaha instead.

              3. Coys96
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                In the next 10 GWs there have Norwich twice, Watford, Burnley, Southampton and Brighton. Great form too.

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  I might get Kane, I have Alli already. Not sure about Kane tho

              4. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                i dont think its bad per-se but there is just better assets. Surpised it seems popular. I think its people who went Son intially and now worried they made the wrong choice.

                • 5 Years

                Better than double up Salah Mane? At least money wise 😉

                • 9 Years

                son for me, feel like ali is a trap, if he gets back to the ali of a couple of seasons back, then yes

              7. AndyCook
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  If you have Son he’s done enough to stay in and Alli looks a good pick so it’s a dilemma but they are both priced fairly high

              8. Albert_Luque
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Why is everyone getting rid of Pope?

                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Awful fixtures

                2. Wild Rover
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Terrible couple of fixtures. Personally I’m keeping but upgrading Button to Guaita to cover

                  1. andres
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    too much cash tied up surely?

                    1. Wild Rover
                      • 13 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      Nope, I have 3.1m it’s and playing BB gw17. After that I will start downgrading

                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Henderson and Guaita have better fixtures

                4. Doctor Evil
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  City followed by spurs, I’m going to keep I think and upgrade Button to Adrian as he will play next 3 for pool and then Pope can go back in

                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Sorry to burst the bubble but it's just 1 game off for Alisson. Red card for professional foul means he'll miss just the Everton game.

                5. Albert_Luque
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  I genuinely don’t understand why you would chop and change mid price keepers. Even against the big clubs there’s a chance of save points. Particularly with Pope, who is great at shotstopping despite the mistake against palace

                  1. andres
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    have you seen Guaita's fixtures?

                    1. Camzy
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 13 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      I don't care. It's a Crystal Palace goalkeeper for 5.0m. If he were 4.5m I'd pay but not 5.0m when Henderson is less and Schmeichel is only 0.3m more.

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

                  Guaita has a 50% cs record against bottom 13 clubs. He has an almost unbroken run of those fixtures for months and months

                  Was best value keeper at start of season

                  1. pingissimus
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Whoops only 40%

                Good moves?

                Pope and Martial

                to

                Henderson and Alli (-4)

                1. andres
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  yes, though you can do just martial to alli

                2. Totti
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  i think yes

                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  I would just go Martial to Alli.

                  Taking a -4 for a gk is rarely worth it. Pope could also still accumulate save points against City
