Team Whispers: Liverpool FC (10.10.2017) | FWTV
  • 7 years ago
Liverpool have come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks as their inability to defend rears its ugly head over and over again.

The Reds have been through an uncertain spell since a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City a month ago, winning only one of their next six games in all competitions.

Following their frustrating 1-1 draw at Newcastle United prior to the international break, Jürgen Klopp will be desperate to get the Reds' Premier League campaign back on track against old rivals Manchester United on Saturday.

In the latest episode of Team Whispers, we've looked at Liverpool in depth and delved into Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah's stats to see if he is putting away enough of his chances.

Salah, who has made an impressive start to life on Merseyside following his move from Roma in the summer with four league goals, will be a key feature of Liverpool's attack against United. But does he score as often as he should?

We also look at how much of an influence the returning Adam Lallana can be with the England international yet to feature this season thanks to a long-term thigh injury.

On top of that we investigate whether or not coach Klopp's famed gegenpressing philosophy is still part of Liverpool's tactical plan or whether it's become a thing of the past.
