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’).

        Yep

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

      How come Pulisic had a xG of 1.0 against West Ham. I just watched the highlights and I only saw 2 missed chances from him which were nowhere near big chances. Am I missing something?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As far as I know, a good big chance is worth more than 0.5 xG

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

          Yes, sorry what I meant was that the chances he had didn't look like big chances at all so I don't understand how his xG was 1.0 which is really high.

          For anyone who watched the whole match, did he look dangerous and likely to score?

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Chelsea overall seemed to miss Tammy and Willian (only subbed in late) ... Pulisic was the most present in the opponent box to me (without looking at stats)

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        one in the first half when a cross found him at the back post 2 yards out, but Ogbonna had flicked it on so it came off his shin and flew wide (he had no control of the ball).

        Its a good reason why you can't place too much importance on the xG stats

            Yep. 0.2 short for that move. I can do Henderson instead of Guaita?

      2. LSK
        • 5 Years

        Moura to Zaha, Roberto to Henderson? Keep Abraham, he will back soon and you have a strong squad.

        1. King Henrik
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I can do Moura to Zaha and Roberto to Henderson. Didn't think of Zaha tbh but with fixtures looking ok he is a good differential. Thanks.

          Not madness, I’m planning something similar, but I’m aiming to bring spurs in for the Chelsea game as I think it will be fully of goals that London Derby!

                  My candidates were JWP Grealish Zaha but I need to spare some cash for Spurs mid GW18

                    Grealish great option from week 18. Zaha to him fallback move if Zaha fails. But Zaha move let’s me get Alli now so think will go for it

        B) zaha

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years

          Alli and swap Kane to Aub or rashford or anyone other than Kane really

        Martial >
        A) KDB

        Guys I brought In Guaita in an ft, I know Henderson is better pick but I didn’t want to double up as have Lundy and no palace, how are we looking ?

        Guaita

        Trent Robbo Soy Lundy

        Salah KDB Pulisic Mount

        Vardy (C) Jimmy

          LIV dodgy def and Salah is playing like a spaz. Otherwise fine

          1. Babit1967
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Only thing that keeps me with robbo and Trent are the assists they rack up, think Salah is out for Son soon

      13. Tempestic

        Will Pulisic start again midweek do we reckon?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          I would say yes but by no means certain

        2. Podge
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Be very surprised if he doesn’t

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Me too to be fair, shall need a win after that last defeat, can't see Lamps wanting to risk too much change

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years

          Should do

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I want van Aanholt but I’m probably never gonna get van Aanholt.

        Thoughts on Mount -> zaha before price rises?
        Can then do Tammy->Ings if Tammy out for a while longer.

        1. Champione

          D

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

          I've gone C, think Pulisic could be a nice differential.

          I’d get rid of mount. Seems out of form. Could wait until after villa if you can be patient.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 5 Years

            Cheers, likely to give him one more as want to eye up other assets for another game. And not sure if I want to downgrade him to upgrade Connolly so move to 343

            • 5 Years

          Got a few this season yh. Nice difference 🙂 be interesting to see who commentates on the games

        2. LSK

          It's Amazon. Whatever they don't have now, they will have soon enough.

        3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

        Who to start?
        A. Mount
        B. Tomori
        C. Cantwell

        1. mrtapio
          • 8 Years

          A, C, B -in that order imo

      24. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Any reason to keep Martial? Have enough money to do Martial to Alli today but this will give me a hugh bench headache this gw

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

          Gotta have a Spurs mid, at least one.

        2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Do it. The random benching will rid of any headache anyway.

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Go for it

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

          In fairness you have a daft bench if either Martial or Alli would give you a bench headache. You can only play 11 so you have too much on bench
