This is an acquaintanceship that has truly blossomed this season, and one that left Timothy Fosu-Mensah little chance; a performance of this substance will only add to the frustration of Robertson&#8217;s absence for the Champions League quarter-final first leg.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.

Lallana unable to replicate Burnley form<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a word\u00a0Adam Lallana was quite simply, sensational, against Burnley last week, putting in a man-of-the-match display against the Clarets with his silky movement, intelligent positional play and accurate passing, but this afternoon he wasn&#8217;t quite able to have that same desired effect.<\/p>\n<p>With competition in the middle of the park extremely congested at Anfield the England international needed to stamp his mark and leave a lasting impression; unfortunately it was a rather lukewarm performance from the 30-year-old who struggled to really expose Fulham&#8217;s leaky defence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1079095 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100353\/adam-lallana-1024x612.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He showed plenty of heart and determination which is testament to his commitment to the club, but this was a match, against a struggling Premier League team, where he had the opportunity to showcase his worth and stake a claim in the starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>A midfielder trident of Lallana, Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum proved threatening last week against Burnley, but it wasn&#8217;t quite able to truly devastate a club who have conceded the most league goals this season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Van Dijk avoids his Gerrard moment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Prior to the match Wijnaldum spoke about how wary he was of the threat of his Dutch teammate and former Liverpool player Ryan Babel, and with good reason;\u00a0the pink-haired Amsterdammer came back to bite his old employers, nearly ruining their title challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran winger was enjoying some success down the left, often showcasing his experience by getting the better of the prodigiously talented, but still young full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1079096 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100449\/van-dijk-liverpool-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100449\/van-dijk-liverpool.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100449\/van-dijk-liverpool-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100449\/van-dijk-liverpool-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100449\/van-dijk-liverpool-66x44.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, his true crowning moment came in the 74th minute; the Dutchman piling pressure on another of his international teammates,\u00a0Virgil van Dijk, whose loose header failed to produce the necessary weight to reach\u00a0Alisson, before he cooly rounded the Brazilian and levelled the scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Wijnaldum warned, but Liverpool failed to listen, and their title hopes were cast into significant doubt until Milner salvaged three points in the closing stages.<\/p>\n<p>Van Dijk appeared to harness his inner Steven Gerrard by nearly costing his side the match with an epic mistake, and after the match when asked whether he felt relief, Van Dijk told NBC: &#8220;No, we won the game. Mistakes happen in football. It is what it is, but we go again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We go again&#8221;. Those famous three words uttered by Gerrard during the infamous title race in 2013\/14 &#8211; Liverpool fans will be hoping for no such repeat this time around.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Salah barren run continues<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The diminutive magician is by no means on a bad run of form in terms of his performances, but his goalscoring drought now stretches to seven matches across all competitions, with his last goal coming in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Salah has scored just one goal in his last 10 appearances and just four in 2019; Klopp will be counting his blessings Mane has stepped up to the plate, but with a vital few months coming up, the German will certainly need his former MVP firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1079097 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/18100537\/salah-liverpool-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can sense the frustration from the Egyptian ace who is champing at the bit to end his drought and reaffirm his position as the club&#8217;s central catalyst; that mantle is currently being held by Mane, but with the style of Liverpool&#8217;s play it shouldn&#8217;t be too long before he is back amongst the goals.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon no player registered more shots than Salah (five) but three of his efforts were equalled by Rico while the other two were wide of the mark. He is simply itching for a goal, but given how clinical he has been in front of goal for Liverpool since signing, once one comes, others will duly follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool leapfrogged Manchester City to go top of the Premier League table after scrappy 2-1 win\u00a0over Fulham.
