Liverpool cannot worry about Erling Haaland despite Mohamed Salah concern

Saturday's Merseyside derby saw Liverpool again drop points in the Premier League as familiar problems were on show for all to see.

I think we’re a little bit unbalanced at the moment, particularly due to having so many key midfielders injured. The manager went for it against Everton with a very youthful midfield but it just didn’t come off. We had 20 odd attempts and, in any other game, one of those goes in and you win. It's a draw that feels like a defeat.

Darwin Nunez had four opportunities and nearly scored from the most difficult one, it was a fantastic save in the end from Jordan Pickford. As long as Nunez is getting in those positions, as a forward, he will soon start scoring. The season hasn’t started for Mo Salah and he is a worry more than most. He normally comes out the blocks flying and would have scored six or seven goals by now and it’s not happening. That’s hurt us.
