Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United: 5 Hits and Flops from the game | Premier League 2019-20 

#2 Flop: Emil Krafth

Emil Krafth should have been more clinical going forward

A lot of us may feel this is a bit too harsh on the 25-year-old given other defensive errors made by the Magpies' midfield and centre backs, but Krafth was simply ordinary on both ends of the pitch.

First things first, the right-back, in a back five, was stretched out too often by the forwards. In the process of sticking to his designated position, the Swede left out a few gaps a little too often. As noticed in the first goal too, he should have been on his toes while tracking the movement and interchange between Mane and Robertson.

Playing in a five-man defence with protection ahead of him, Krafth should have been a bit more convincing in picking up loose balls or during duels.

It was he who won the two most glorious chance of the game when he made a smashing run into the box. Credit the wing-back for freeing up space for himself and running 60-70 yards, but against Liverpool at Anfield, he should have buried at least one chance.

Firstly, Shelvey played Almiron in behind Matip, who did extremely well to pull back for Joelinton. The striker laid it on a platter for Krafth, who saw his effort blocked. In a similar situation moments later, the Newcastle right-back blazed his shot well over the bar.
