“He just doesn’t look right.” “It looks like Salah’s rise has affected his confidence.” “Where is the Sadio Mane of last season?” The first two quotes there have been made pretty often through the course of this season, but do they carry any weight? When you look at performances and numbers to go with it, […]
The nature of the conversation around Mo Salah has indeed shifted in recent weeks, culminating in a significant shift following Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Watford. Salah was of course, entirely unplayable on Saturday, scoring four and assisting Bobby Firmino’s goal, but that performance was only the cherry on top of what has been a truly […]

Then there’s the referee who’s never too far from the headlines. This game was no different, providing the perfect illustration of a Mourinho-Klopp showdown in an affair dominated by […]
Liverpool were so ‘un-Liverpool’ like in attack, and so ‘Liverpool’ in their defence as they slumped to defeat at Old Trafford. The second half was a better performance and the ref was a nutcase, but that does not take away a shambolic defensive performance in first half. Loris Karius (5) – Left high and dry for […]
