Liverpool 5-2 Everton: 5 Hits and Flops | Premier League 2019-20

#3 Flop: Djibril Sidibe

Sidibe struggled to handle Mane, all over the place defensively and was abruptly replaced before half-time

Simply put, Djibril Sidibe was ruthlessly exposed against Liverpool's devastating counter-attacking tactics while Mane ran riot in one-on-one battles with him too. An attack-minded fullback by trade, his weaknesses were thoroughly exploited: venturing forward too often which allowed Liverpool to break at speed down his side while catching him in awkward positions every time.

He regularly looked overwhelmed as they advanced, with a combination of unconvincing defensive quality and inadequate support from his midfield teammates. As for his involvement in all three Liverpool goals before being hauled off after 35 minutes for Bernard, here's a breakdown:

For their first goal, Sidibe was acting as a suppporting option on the edge of Liverpool's own box when an Everton attack broke down and the ball fell to Lallana. He fed Mane and six seconds later, the Reds were ahead.

Mane effortlessly waltzed past him in the build-up to their second after 16 minutes, far too easily and without much of a challenge before a reverse pass into Shaqiri's path.

Their third? Lovren's defence-splitting pass had both Holgate and Keane backpedalling with Sidibe jogging back helplessly to their left before Origi wheeled away to celebrate his brace. Three goals, brilliant moves from Liverpool's perspective but all were conceded too easily.
