Everton 0-0 Liverpool: 5 tactics from Marco Silva that stopped Jurgen Klopp's men

#3 Shutting out Mohamed Salah

Everton FC v Liverpool FC - Premier League

The most dangerous player in the Premier League has the ability to break down any defense in the league on his own. Salah is full of running, can pick out a pass, and also has excellent ball control. To top it up, his finishing is also a strong part of his game and as such, stopping him is not an easy task. However, to stop Liverpool, it is essential to stop Salah.

Marco Silva deployed Digne to stop Salah and the Frenchman was at the top of his game throughout the 90 minutes. He refused to leave the Egyptian’s side and denied him any room to unleash his qualities on the ball. Salah did arrive in goal scoring positions on a couple of occasions in the game, only to be denied by Pickford or a combination of the defenders.

By shutting out Salah on the night, Everton crippled Liverpool and gained an upper hand in the game.
