Klopp explains Liverpool rotation as Salah and Firmino are benched

Liverpool 5-2 Everton

  • Goals: Divock Origi (£5.2m) x2, Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.3m), Sadio Mane (£12.2m), Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.4m) | Michael Keane (£5.3m), Richarlison (£7.8m)
  • Assists: Mane x2, Dejan Lovren (£5.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m), Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) | Bernard (£6.4m)
  • Bonus: Origi x3, Mane x2, Wijnaldum x1

Sadio Mane (£12.2m) put in a season’s-best performance as Liverpool crushed Everton in the Merseyside derby.

The 41.3%-owned midfielder scored one goal and set up two more to bring in 15 points – a tally which matched his output from the Gameweek 5 mauling of Newcastle United.

Mane was virtually unplayable during a first half of breathtaking goals and dodgy defending, producing a fifth haul in six Gameweeks, two of which have involved double-digit returns.

In the process he became the second player, behind Jamie Vardy (£9.9m), to breach the 100-point barrier in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this season. And yet, somehow, he actually suffered a net transfer loss heading into the derby, with over 40,000 managers offloading him (a net loss of 3,381).

That surprising statistic likely owed much to the kneejerk reaction to his blank in Gameweek 14.

The prescient amongst us may have even been worried that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would rotate his squad. And that he duly did, making five changes to the side which had seen off Brighton 2-1 on Saturday.

The key moves involved two of the team’s exalted front three, with both Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) benched and replaced by Divock Origi (£5.2m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.3m), who made his first start in seven months.

Salah has struggled for fitness and form since, let’s just say, a ‘typically robust’ challenge from Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury (£4.4m) damaged his ankle in Gameweek 8. Reports have also suggested a breakdown in the relationship between manager and star, but Klopp was naming few names when he explained his decisions before kick-off.

The Liverpool boss said:

One change we had to do in Adrian for Alisson, and the other four we wanted to do, just to respect the game, to respect the intensity of the game first and foremost. I have to show the respect for the boys and I’ve said a lot of times how much I like the squad and now we have to use it. We think the game will be really intense and for this you need kind of fresh legs and we try to bring them in.

Also coming in were Adam Lallana (£5.8m) and James Milner (£5.3m). All four outfield players justified their selections, but it was Origi and Shaqiri who really caught the eye.

The Belgian striker opened the scoring when he ran on to Mane’s exquisite through ball, rounded the on-rushing Jordan Pickford (£5.4m) and rolled the ball into the empty net.

Shaqiri then doubled the lead from a sublime counter-attack. Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) pinged a cross-field ball of venomous accuracy to Mane, who controlled it with nonchalance, rode a foul challenge and raced to the edge of the Everton area before releasing the Switzerland international to score with a first-time shot.

At that stage, beleaguered Everton manager Marco Silva’s decision to field a back three of Michael Keane (£5.3m), Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.4m), with Lucas Digne (£5.8m) and Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) as wing-backs, lay in tatters.

Time and again, Liverpool launched long balls from deep to exploit the space behind the centre-halves – a tactic which led to Origi’s second goal, and Liverpool’s third, when he expertly brought down a Dejan Lovren (£5.3m) punt and lobbed the stranded Pickford

But by then, Everton had somehow found a foothold in the game, Keane latching onto a loose ball in the area and smashing the ball home to make it 2-1 and usher in a brief period of supremacy for the visitors.

That also meant an eighth-straight Gameweek without a clean sheet for the Liverpool backline as Fantasy managers once again had to hope for attacking returns from their big-ticket Reds defenders.

This time it was the turn of Alexander-Arnold (who picked up his fourth booking of the season last night) to deliver when he burst forward on the counter and teed up Mane to sweep home from the edge of the area.

That concluded the home side’s scoring in the first half, although Everton were still not done.

Silva had ditched his initial defensive plan when Liverpool went 3-1 up, reverting to a back four by bringing on Bernard (£6.4m) for Sidibe, who had been tormented by Mane’s movement and skill for 35 painful minutes.

The move didn’t stem their opponents’ attacking menace, but it perked up their own offensive threat and they made it 4-2 deep into stoppage time at the end of the half when Richarlison (£7.8m) headed home emphatically from a Bernard cross

The midfielder-turned-striker now has three goals from his last four starts – a rare bright spot in a dark time for the Toffees, with the next three fixtures (CHE, mun, ARS) unlikely to lighten the mood even if Silva is finally shown the door by the Everton board.

The manager was not to be drawn on his future post-match, saying:

I am not the right person to answer about the situation, this question is for different people. We are making some mistakes which put us under big, big pressure. The type of mistakes we are making is because the players are playing under big pressure because of the position in the table.

He was certainly not helped by most of those players at Anfield.

The defence was a disjointed mess exaggerated by Pickford’s questionable positioning, while captain for the night Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) produced a display of almost laughable anonymity, with the central midfielder’s 28 passes on the night equalled by Reds goalkeeper Adrian.

But Silva’s tactics and selections are as much to blame for those mistakes, transforming an ostensibly strong squad into a collection of brittle and confused individuals.

The two goals aside, the sole positive note for Everton on the night was that Liverpool only won 5-2, with Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.4m) scoring late on after being teed up by substitute Firmino.

Then again, even that was actually down to Liverpool’s profligacy, with Mane, in particular, spurning two glorious chances to turn his night from superb into sensational.

Christmas came early at Anfield last night – for more reasons than Everton’s generosity.

Klopp’s major rotation of the squad gave the fixture a decidedly festive feel, as he was at pains to point out post-match.

The Liverpool manager said:

It was always clear this period now of the year is where we need all of the boys and I hope they will then be in the shape like Shaq and Div tonight, or Adam (Lallana) tonight. It’s really important and gives us the feeling that we can do it more often – and we will do it more often.

So perhaps nobody is now safe from a place on the Liverpool bench as the games come thick and fast over the next few weeks.

Would Klopp risk benching the in-form Mane at present, though? The Senegal international has started every league match since Gameweek 2 and has only gone more than one game without a return once all season.

A Gameweek 18 blank when Liverpool take part in the FIFA Club World Cup might prompt some to sell him on.

But where Salah was once the undroppable driver of the Reds’ attacking juggernaut, Mane is now the man behind that particular wheel, and ignoring him is to play a very perilous game indeed.

Just ask the thousands who tried it this week.

    pulisic -> mount?

    anyone haha?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Chasing points maybe? I'm going Zaha

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

        just a joke, the mount to puli switch was so hyped this week

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Fair play pal. Didn't pick up on the humour

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      WHY?

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah I'd stick with the CHE asset you have. Either could be rested, haul or blank!

  2. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bottom'd.

    Anyone with no fires to put out? I have 2 FT but don't think my team needs one:

    Gazzaniga McGovern

    TAA Soy Lundy O'Connell Rico

    Mane KDB Son Mount Cantwell

    Vardy Jesus Connolly

    Any thoughts? I'm considering doing McGovern -> Martin

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Usually just go with one playing keeper. Guaita is a good shout but doubt you would want to move from Gazza

    2. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I replied mate, but the keepers are both shocking. You don't think you need to change Gaza? Martin looks like an outfield player being a hero in goal. he's awful, only a matter of time before Robbo is back, as bad as HE is!

      1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, just saw your reply and replied back too.

        Gazzaniga has been a poor transfer in hindsight but they're playing Burnley at home this week. But hm, shipping him out wouldn't be the worst idea I suppose...

        I was only getting in Martin as an occasionally playing 4.0 bench fodder.

        1. adams_6
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I got him too for Pope rather than burn a transfer a couple of weeks ago and then Pope got 9 and Gaza 2! I wanted Hendo really but it was when they played Man U. I kept Gaza one more week but moved to Hendo now.

          1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks for the reply. I was in a similar boat - I did Pope -> Gazza too but I missed Pope's 2x9 pointers 🙁

            Just realised Gazzaniga has conceded in every PL game (10) this season, so probably time to ship him out

  3. Sarriball Time
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cap in GW 16...?

    A) Vardy
    B) Mane

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy perma cap until he blanks. Remember the 2015-16 season

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

      Son for me

      1. Sarriball Time
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Only from these two.

    3. Dr Ennet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I am leaning towards Mané actually, but we'll see when the gameweek comes around.

      1. adams_6
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I fancy Mane but now concerned about possible bench incoming for him.

  4. XABI 15
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Have TAA and Robertson.

    Robbo + Mount > Kelly (anyone up to 4.8m) + Alli for free?

    1. Dr Ennet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would. 🙂

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

    Other than Cantwell, best fifth mid for the festive period?

    1. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dendoncker. But Cantwell is the best option

    2. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Dendo.

    3. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think you have too many options. Maybe Fleck from SHU

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Fleck

    5. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dendo flash by one game didnt include him on watchlist. Maybe Hayden

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

    Better choice ?

    a/ Maddison > Alli
    b/ Jesus > Abraham (i have Mount)
    c/ Both ?

    1. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B for me. I really like Maddisons next 2 fixtures

    2. Dr Ennet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      Why sell Jesus now? surely wait 1 or 2 more gameweeks.

    Hava a benching headache:
    Which one of these guys gets to ride the planks: KDB Mane Maddison Pulisic Alli / Jimi Tammy Vardy

    Leaning to Jiminez atm

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That is the kind of headache I wouldn't like every week!

      What's your defence looking like?

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheap. Pope / Button, TAA Legend Rico Kelly Williams, 0.4 ITB

      2. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        To answer the question....KDB or Jimenez most likely! Maybe even Maddison.

        Vardy, Tammy, Pulisic, Mane and Alli would be definites

    2. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Surely upgrade a defender and sell one? you are committed to benching a lot of budget every week. Maybe Williams to a Leicester Def?

    3. Terry Whistle
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic 100%

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        this

  8. Dr Ennet
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Good Afternoon All!

    I am considering the following moves with my 2FT:

    Tielemans, TAA > Alli, Aurier

    A bit hesitant to lose TAA, but seems like the only way to get Alli in. My team:

    Pope / Button
    Soy / Lundstram / Dunk / Lowton / TAA
    Mané / Pulisic / Son / KdB / Tielemans
    Vardy / Abraham / Ayew

    Any other suggestions? 2FT, 0.2ITB.

    Cheers! 🙂

    What's the news on Kun return?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think latest was that he wouldn't be ready for the derby. Beyond that I'm not sure we know yet

  11. Pinturicchio10
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Another boring ft for my team this week. Fredericks finally leaves, for Dunk. Oh the joy. Yay 🙁

      1. Dr Ennet
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yay, a fellow Dunk owner 🙂 A boring but sound transfer IMO.

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

        I did the most boring transfer last gw (pope to guita) and it was the best transfer I've made all season

    • jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Kane + Tielemans to Rashford + Alli (-4) feels a bit wrong but I don't want Tielemans and Kane has been so disappointing that I pulled the trigger!

      1. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Two upgrades what's not to like 🙂

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            yeah but everything feels wrong atm after a 6.1m GW followed by 37 with two to play this week... ugh!

        • Dr Ennet
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I would do it. Feels right to me 🙂

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years

            • 7 Years

            done 🙂

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

        who would you captain this week?

        A- Mané
        B- Alli
        C- Son
        D - sterling

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Currently have it on Alli with Mané vc but I don't have the other 2

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

          mane and hope he isn't rested

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

          All rotation candidates. Where’s Vardy mate?

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I think only Mane is a rotation candidate from those. Jose won't rotate his best players, especially after a loss and Sterling will start the Manchester derby.

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

              Yes, sorry I wasn’t clear. Vardy for me is the perfect Xmas player because he hasn’t racked up the brutal “Minutes All Competitions” numbers that Sterling and Mané have.

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

            no Vardy no party for me

            I think Alli, after Mou's comments and considering he didn't play much in the beginning of the season is almost 100% nailed this week

            Sterling close to 100% nailed too for this GW

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

              See above.

      3. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bench order with this lot?

        Currently on:
        Soy (avl), Dendo (bha), Rico (LIV)

        1. Dr Ennet
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Correct order IMO.

        2. Pinturicchio10
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Swap Soyuncu and Dendoncker

            1. Don Kloppeone
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Because you expect AVL to score at home?

              I personally see Dendo's heroics yesterday as a one off

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  I expect both to blank and give Dendoncker a slightly better chance of an attacking return than Soyuncu. Nothing to do with Dendoncker scoring yesterday its an assessment based on opposition.

                  1. Don Kloppeone
                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Fair point. There is the often-abused rule of play the attacker/ mid before the defender.
                    I also agree that BHA are definitely weaker than AVL at the moment.

                    It's a tough one tbh - thanks for the reply!

            Talk about chasing points:

            1) Kane + Maddy>> Tammy + Alli (-4)
            2) Kane>> Tammy
            3) Maddy or Pul>> Alli
            4) Ward>> Kelly
            5) Pope>>Henderson

            Front 7 currently is:

            Mane / Zaha / Maddy / Pul/ Hayden
            Kane / Vardy / Jim

              I prefer Ings to Mousse and Alli is the better choice for now

                      that really does not sound like a good idea, not this week. And you have Son, so what´the hurry to get Alli? Lacazette plays West ham, Rashford, City away

                      You don´t want to sit on double Spurs vs Wolves and Chelsea, and the one you´ve got have good fixtures too and form. Maddy got you more points than Alli?

                    With Evans and Soyuncu now both at 5.1m and separated by one point, which to get in?

                    This being Magnus Carlsen, it is clearly pure skill that he is getting 32 points from autosubs and VC. We mortals cannot begin to assume this involves any kind of jam as that would be blasphemy of the highest order.

                      He'll be zooming up the ranks after the autisubs are factored in. Still two to go too.

                        Not many places he can zoom up either!!

                      Eh, his ranks are not that good apart from last two seasons though
                      And getting points from bench could be seen in different ways, if you are benchwankery that´s ok, definite out and you know the player on bench comes in, fair enough. But here we are talking about Martial, which were not ruled out before deadline and is it skill when you pick a player that is so injury prone and you get a player that scores 2 goals in 38 games pr season in exactly in that gameweek? I´m not sure i would call that skill.. To have a 12m player who is not nailed is not what i would call skilfull either

                        Most of what I wrote was tongue in cheek as he has a bit of a thing around him lately. 🙂

                          I was aware of that
                          it was more of a response to this thing about getting points from bench being something skill-like, because in most cases it´s actually a result of bad planning og bad picks combined with a skill to pick a good overall squad-)

                            Agree. Majority of the time you’re right. The thing with this season is there are so many playing value-priced players that occasionally score that I expect points to be benched pretty regularly
