Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Mohamed Salah

Salah was left constantly frustrated by a determined United backline

Is it safe to call Manchester United Mohamed Salah's bogey team yet? Whenever the two sides face off, Liverpool's talismanic forward is regularly kept quiet and his display on this occasion was no different.

It speaks volumes that Klopp, in search of a late winner, actually replaced the Egyptian with Divock Origi for the match's last twelve minutes or so. That's just how well United were coping with his attacking threat in numbers and again buoyed by their fans, players seemed to relish challenging him.

Last year at Old Trafford, he was shut out by a determined Ashley Young. This season, it was Luke Shaw's turn. The English fullback forced him into mistakes aplenty, won possession with seeming ease at times and a lethargic performance was keenly pounced upon.

Not good enough. He lost the ball on nine occasions - a game-high - while his decision-making was either too pedestrian or rushed, no in-between, which made for a predictable Salah to defend against. Back to the drawing board.
