Mo Salah named in Premier League Team of the Week for Round 12- 2018-19 season

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has been named in the BBC’s official Premier League Team of the Week for Round 12. Salah scored the Reds’ first goal in their 2-0 win over Fulham at Anfield over the weekend, helping Jurgen Klopp’s men bounce back from their midweek Champions League setback in Belgrade.

Another LFC player to make the Team of the Week was Scottish left back Andy Robertson, whose inch perfect across in the second half allowed Xherdan Shaqiri to seal victory for the home side.

Liverpool vs Southampton Review- Klopp tries out 4-2-3-1 formation against Saints

Liverpool made it six wins in as many games as they brushed aside the challenge of Mark Hughes’ Southampton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. For Saints, it was effectively a repeat of last season’s game, having lost 3-0 in 2017/18 as well. LFC had the game wrapped up by half time, and didn’t even have to get out of second gear- this was a pretty easy win for them despite Southampton’s best efforts.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp handed Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri their first league starts of the season and opted for a change in formation to 4-2-3-1. This saw Henderson and Wijnaldum in midfield, Salah as the sole striker upfront, Shaqiri effectively employed as a No.10, with Roberto Firmino on the left and Sadio Mane on the right.

Three wins out of three & top of the table- LFC 1-0 Brighton

A goal midway through the first half allowed Liverpool to keep their winning run intact as they beat Brighton 1-0 at Anfield. The Reds were unchanged for this fixture, with Klopp happy to keep faith with the same set of players that had done the business in the opening two weeks of the campaign.

Despite the Seagulls having beaten the Reds’ great North West rivals Manchester United in Week 2, few pundits had expected to them to upset Jurgen Klopp’s side, and the first few minutes showed why- there were easily three clear cut opportunities for the home side to score.

First Sadio Mane’s shot tantalizingly went on the wrong side of the post with Brighton keeper Ryan well beaten. The latter was called into action again, producing a good save to deny Firmino’s header after an excellent cross from Andy Robertson. Trent-Alexander Arnold then rattled the woodwork with an excellent free kick.
