It's not just Salah, it's not even just the attack. Yea we can't finish chances, but the defense is shocking as well. We are 19th in the league for performance in the first 15 minutes. Only Sheffield do worse than us in those moments of the games. The fact that we concede early so often knocks the confidence of the players going forward, as they are the ones who have to clean up. The entire squad is misfiring, and everyone is suffering for it.
“We are 19th in the league for performance”
🤣🤣🤣
That league doesn’t exist.
It’s a figment of your negative imagination.
Talk about being negative and negative thoughts dominating your mind.
You’ve created a league in which Liverpool FC are 19th.
The World League of Negativity
How many teams play in the WLON?
Are there many?
Do you need a virtual hug and some positivity?
🤣👍
Our defense, especially our two center backs are asked to cover ALOT of space due to full backs going up. This cause us to be out of position on the counter and it leads to goals. Teams target our right side and pressure konate who has to cover the right by himself. It’s a risk apart of our play style.
@@M-nm6rq Its not imagination, its statistics. You can joke about it, but having an early-game record that sees us only above Sheffield is fucking pathetic.
@M-nm6rq Are you alright there?
I'll announce it again, start Jaydenn Danns start Cody Gakpo, Bench Nunez bench Luis Diaz !!
Everytime he goes to AFCON he comes back injured and is never the same.
I'm ok with Mo going in the summer, he is a legend, the famous front 3 is over now anyway, plus with how fsg work we need the funds his sale would bring.
Same tbh but idk how we’re gonna get goals on a consistent bases with Nunez up front
@@zakiajaz7 Bingo. Nunez has gotta go.
@@macriggland6526
Don't forget that Salah should have had 40+ assists this season, sell your team first 😆most of Liverpool goals comes through salah, his assists or pre assists
@@macriggland6526 i agree he can’t finish
32/39 Big chances missed Nunez
Sturridge was a class act that seson with Suarez, you can't compare Diaz and Nunez with him. He had great ability with the ball and was a killer, natural finisher. These two need ten chances just to maybe score one goal
Mane and salah have always been like that. Mane would miss 3 sitters a game
People talk about Nunez missing etc but Salah is the highest paid and most experienced player there. Absolutely 0 excuses for his performances. Nunez is on 1/3 money you can’t expect him to win us leagues when Salah can’t even turn up. Good to see you critique him as I criticised your player rating show for going soft of players
I don't think money is a factor for 10 months the players are stuck in Liverpool, all money is the same
@@shazanali692 yeah I agree but when Salah is paid so handsomely they should reflect his influence
mane stepped up in some title races and was Liverpool’s most important player while salah struggled his form is usually average at this point in the season and he’s not the same player
@@Jporter196 yep mane stepped up consistently even though we only won the 1 title, we’d have been nowhere near city the other years without him. Diaz doesn’t produce enough and with Darwin and Mo’s lack of finishing at times, the goals just dry up unfortunately. We’ve been relying on late winners for ages, I don’t think we’ve actually put a run of games together all year when we’ve blown teams away for 4 or 5 games on the bounce
Tbf he was the best player in the league until afcon (yet again) it’s not the first time his form completely dipped after that.
He’s also been fasting and back from injury. It’s these games where we can properly judge him
He just needs to finish the season strong so he’s worth more to sell in the summer
The Saudi league won’t drop their price
We also need to talk about Van Djik. He's getting no stick at the moment, yet he's been part of the defence thats conceded first/early in over 20 of the 30 games in the league this season. Why cant we defend?
I honestly think he's leaving this summer and has lost motivation. It would explain why he was so emotional when he won us the League Cup. He knew then that it would possibly be his last trophy with the club
AFCON 22 was when he started declining, the stats have still been there but the performances have not
Honestly, it blows my mind that people haven't noticed this sooner. Salah was world class in his first season, and for the first half of the 2021/22 season, but other than that he has been wildly inconsistent and overall pretty average, and also he's rarely delivered in big games. He ultimately gets loads of goals and assists and so gets a pass, but he is incredibly greedy and wasteful with possession, misses sitters almost every game, and hasn't skinned anyone for a couple of years now, since his pace disappeared overnight. Remember when he used to cut inside and curl shots into the far top corner? What happened to that?! Now, they are either skewed miles wide or piddled into the keeper's gloves.
Salah is a world class player. He wouldn't have such consistency every season if he wasn't. But I think whenever he has come back from Afcon he has either been exhausted or injured (this season) and this has impacted his performance. It doesn't help that Nunez and Diaz seem to be missing bucketloads of chances.
Holy shit do people have selective memory..
He's literally the highest scoring, and most consisten winger in PL history. He's around 12 assists away from kicking god damn Beckham out of the Top 10 assists in PL history.
Hazard had whole seasons where he didn't show up. When we needed Mane to step up in 20/21.. because the team was suffering, he kept missing every chance he got, and only scored 16 goals in almost 50 games.. and every fan and pundit were yelling for him to be sold.
God damn Drogba who's considered one of the most lethal attackers in league history.. barely got 10 goals in 7 out of 9 PL seasons.
Salah averages 22 league goals a season. Most strikers are happy to reach 22 goals ONCE in their careers.
The guy just came back from the only serious injury he's had in his Liverpool career. He's been serving up world class passes on an platter in important games.. and just like Mane, they've been letting him down. Yes he's missing alot of chances, but so is Haaland.. that's when his teammates need to step up.
@@salmonero6472100%. From a practical perspective, I’d like to know from Salah’s detractors, who they would buy to replace Salah… then we can all chime in with how poor said player is by comparison and how it would t be money well spent. I fear that this is the bigger problem. That the rest of the team are firing blanks and do not have a proven scoring record. Jota is clinical but he tends to miss roughly a third of every season. Salah’s injury record is unbelievable. I would keep him while the new manager gets his feet under the desk. I would offer him a one year extension to protect his value and help the transition. Selling Salah seems like madness to me. He is not ready to cash his chips. I believe he feels he can win more trophies and if we don’t offer a new contract, he will run the current one down and then go to Madrid, Barca, Bayern or PSG. IMO those dreaming of a £100m transfer to Saudi are deluded and do not understand Salah’s motivation and how important legacy is to him. Not everyone is motivated by money, and he earns £1m a month. How much do you think he needs?
@@leolovetoparty I agree. If Liverpool changes systems (they will) then that’s a clear opportunity for Salah to pivot to another role. Salahs final pass is phenomenal, should be tied for assist leader in PL right now, but for poor finishing from his teammates.
@@macriggland6526 "teammates" ;-)
...not naming any names 😀
After he signed the new contract, I felt like he's just playing around like his games are just exhibition pre-seasons. No hunger. I mean he did won everything for us. If the Saudis offer some serious money for him....well
That's unfair to Mo. Everyone talks about how professional and competitive he is and how much he does to make sure he is fit. That he is not playing up to his standards doesn't mean he is not trying.
Bro facts. I felt this as well and have been saying it for a while, after his new contract with his new wages, he just hasn't been the same player. I really don't know why. It was immediate, literally the season right after his contract signing I remember reading comments with people saying the club gave a new contract to the wrong player and it should have been given to Mane instead. Very strange that more money could ruin your performance or hunger? I honestly can't remember the last time he dribbled past a player. He used to go past multiple players at once, the goals at Watford and City being a perfect example. 🤷🏽♂
When has he ever finished a season strong and brought us home as a leader? He fades every season.
The ultimate stat padder , not a leader and neither is VVD ...Henderson is their daddy
Shame on you. Get out . Embarassing fanbase
Right guys this a bit far 🤣 he’s normally a big game player
Unfortunately true. When it's really mattered he's faltered. We qualified for Madrid inspite of his open goal miss in Barca.
@Do27gg which big game ? What year ? He had 0 goals in 3 finals the quad year two seasons back and he has been declining since that Afcon ,do you see how Mane is currently ? That's how Salah will be without Klopp's system...You can't teach old dogs new tricks , it's goodbye and the show must go on
Nunez is much more worrying and concerning then Salah who is one of the greatest players ever in Liverpools history goinh through bad form. Talk about Nunez and his entire career. Not good enough
even tho I don't disagree with you, surely Diaz and gakpo should be looked at before Salah and Nunez. 32 G/A and people say he's shocking, so what about the others then?
That must mean diaz and gakpo are championship level players.
@@JPayne95 Always someone who has to go too far init😂😂
32/39 Big chances missed, Nunez.
Salah has missed more then anyone since coming back@@nn-yi4xn
His whole demeanor has changed.
Not playing with a smile anymore....I think he's going in the summer and he knows it.
It's time to say goodbye ...an absolute legend!
It's time to go to Real Madrid.
The guy is still only 32. He will play for another 5 years at least regardless like Ronaldo and Messi. They are like 7 years older then salah and still good
Mo need to sit on the bench for a couple of games
Amorim won't want him, his wingers roam around, Mo sticks to the wing
Who is going to replace him?
too late now, we need to take the gamble and sell him as he still brings the value/funding
When mo was injured Jotta and Darwyn had a good partnership
Klopp never benches Salah. Even when his form is terrible.
Sad reality of it is that all good things come to an end. The numbers he's been putting up for years was always good despite bad performances. But he's slowly lost his pace, slowly lost his ability to shoot. to dribble and even at times to pass the ball in the final third. He doesn't seem to be creating as much either. Also lets not forget that the team has had a mad overhaul in the last couple of years. Hendo, Milner, Mane, Bobby, Origi just to name a few. That kind of stuff takes a toll on you man. It will take time for the new set of players to fully gel like the the previous bunch did but unfortunately with Klopp leaving I'm not sure they'll be given the time. End of an era, start of a new one.
Salah is and always will be a legend but it’s time to cash in and get as much as we can and use it to start the rebuild.
It's about time ,
He's been hiding behind his stats for over two years now ,
He can't beat his man ,
He doesn't press ,
His general play is awful,
His short passing is school boy ,
In fairness his forward passing/through balls have been very good but he doesn't get involved with anything
And he always gets away with it because he'll score a tap in or a pen or the odd lovely pass but he hurts us so much he looses possession every time he gets it and he doesn't work hard , maybe Klopp needs to play him close to the striker or put him on the bench
I can deal with the others missing chances if they're trying hard getting involved but moh's offering nothing and hiding behind his stats he's always ball watching every time he gets it to feet he waits for the ball and gets intercepted it's abysmal
I am a huge Salah but he's been dropping in form. You can't rely on him to receive and hold a ball or play the right immediate pass. He hides on the wing and doesn't come into the right receiving positions. I suspect Salah has hidden a lot of injuries in the past, which has hampered his performance. He doesn't run anymore, he doesn't press any more. He doesn't dribble, often loses the ball and trips over it. Always immediately puts his back up against a defender, who then pushes him over and dispossess him. Time to sell the legend.
Why did we turn down 200 million for him, ffs. He's only going one way at his age.
All aspects of his game are deficient......surprised while fasting during Ramadan that he has been starting games. Should've been used as an impact sub since his return from injury. And don't forget the team performed well and were successful during his absence at AFCON, and subsequent absence through injury.
wait, breath, you overreacting, the team performed well because Jota was available in the front 3, with Jota gone we started suffering. Nunez is a confidence player if you already winning the game Nunez will score if the game is not in your pocket, Nunez can blackout and sleep.
The Michael Edwards & Hughes should sell him in the summer. His form is irreversibly bad, he doesnt win one-on-one and ends up benching elliott. Sell him
Mo’s replacement was on the pitch yesterday. We should be all over Olise
Olise/Kudus/Mbuemo three players who play well every game and are premier league proven, also left wing needs an upgrade and so does down the middle.
He's played 60+ minutes only 9 times this season, he's one of the most injury-prone players in Europe
Way too many injuries.. no thanks
Only 2 hamstring injuries really and the second time was due to Roy rushing him back to try and save his job
@Ruscococo1 I'd go Kudus for sure. If we could afford him and Watkins or Isak it'd be amazing, but that's probably a dream world. Especially as we will also need another CB.
Mo Salah survived and thrived only becasue of Mane and Firminho's selfless play.
An absolute legend, but it's time to part ways. New blood needed.
Two things need to happen 1. His dropped or 2. His plays as the central foraward, cause his days as a winger are done....
I said since the season started they needed a quality rw for depth to phase Salah out, Kudus instead of gravenberch would have been ideal or Diaby.
Yesterday Salah was playing as a centre forward and it was noticeable how the front line were getting in each other’s way.
It was bound to happen with Mo. He’s never been the type of player to be creative with the ball to feet. He usually holds it, passes it back and makes a run. Overtime, he just won’t be able to beat the defenders with his pace. It’s natural depression of his physical abilities.
He also never bothered to work on his right foot, and he’s paying the price in this stage of his career. Tap ins with his right foot are shanked over the bar or wide.
We have to appreciate what he’s done despite all the limitations. That’s no small feat. But it’s time to move on.
a spade calling a spade a spade, that cracked me up
🤣
The defence looks crap because of the risky high line we play but without the forwards scoring the defence looks worse. A few weeks ago I thought we’d end the klopp era with at least 2 trophies and then have a difficult couple of seasons with a new manager until he works out the team and players but as it is now we are lucky to win the league trophy when we did 😢
Salah isn’t putting the work rate in. He didn’t track back once yesterday. Leaving Bradley exposed.
Look at what Saka did yesterday. Although Arsenal lost, Saka was always tracking back.
Every single one of our attackers can leave.... all of them
This comment 🤣🤣.. absolute gold mate !!!!
His ability to beat a man and hit the ball well has gone. Without that, what does he do? End of an era, thanks for the memories Mo but it’s over. Fresh start
It's time 4 him to goooo
He needs a break mate, we were banging them in when we had injuries, there are too many rotations and subs currently, no fluidity. I personally would start nunez on the left , danns in the middle and elliot on the right. There is a huge emptinessin the centre of the park too. Our midfield are tooinvisible at times we need more numbers in the centre
Time to say goodbye 👋🏽
Unfortunately, It's Time.....
we screed more and played as a better team without him when he was at afcon, during that period we scored regularly 3 to 4 goals for every game almost, he scores random goals these days, but make the tam worse because they are less of a unit and more a Buch of individuals that play whiteout chemistry. He is a legend but the team is not better with him in it, at least at the moment, he is not even trying.
Salah has always been wasteful his entire career. Its just that he has the propensity to given you that one moment of brilliance and score. Only difference now is that he is not scoring.
Lack of atmosphere caused by a dumb reaction to a two per cent increase in ticket prices has cost the Reds the past 2 matches .
Yep - so called for a few quick - we screwed up the atmosphere at Anfield.
No doubt he was an absolute machine…at one point! I’ve been moaning about Salah for a long time, people seem to be finally holding his performances to light! I think it’s worth remembering how many chances he takes in the game before he gets a goal and how many of those chances are never on, yet the chance for another player is. Sticking with him is totally the wrong thing to do. His best chance now is impact play, last 25. Same with Nunez! Danns should have been really given a go in recent games and that’s on Klopp’s loyalty.
Waiting for Salah to return for like 3 full months, and then we get an under-par / lethargic Salah…he looks the shadow of the player he was. He is our star striker, and unfortunately he has made the team look worse following his return. He was mean to boost the team in the title run-in!
He was the only one who didn’t put his arm around the other team members in front of the 97 Kop. Somethings not alright.
He has no serious competition for his spot and Klopp ends up overplaying him because of it. Several times at the start of the season where I was either surprised he wasn't rested or subbed off for the next game.
He always goes off the boil after AFCON too. Maybe both factors together (plus the fasting) are why he suffers from end of season burnout.
We need a new RW regardless what Salah turns up. He's turning 32. Has to be one of new manager's main priorities
I honestly don’t get the Salah hate in the comments.. the whole team has been playing dreadful, the forwards have all ALL missed big chances.
Thry have all missed but salahas pace is also gone and hes doing nothing to help dom. atleast nunez on the right would do 2 of those 3 things
Maybe try Salah central for last 6. Keep the younger legs out wide. He's still our most clinical the hamstring injury could be in back of his mind.
The injury has done him.. we need to now sell as that cash could buy 2 amazing attackers
It's very obvious the players especially the older ones have tuned Klopp out they don't listen anymore they know he is leaving that was evident yesterday the response was conceding a goal in 14 minutes It's not just Salah VanDyke as well.
I think that injury spooked him. He never ever got injured before then. And those saying he has been poor this season before then, go and look at his stats, far from it. Why isn't Nunez getting questioned? The most overrated player at the club.
Uh, he is. A lot of people are getting tired of his wastefulness.
Class is permanent
@jad3517.LIKE your comment .CLASS is PERMANENT.❤😊
Mo bailing out the rest of the attackers now a long time. Once he stops scoring or has a bad patch then nobody is stepping up to cover him.
Hit the nail on the head about Hendo he might have his negatives but he was always rattling cages and getting people to play. We don't see that in midfield, who is shouting at peol,e to get them going we a missing a captain in midfield such as Hendo, Gerrard, Milly
I was frustrated with him in the game against Palace, but he just returned from an injury that he's not used to having. He need to get hes flow back and his courage back. so my question is, does the team have the time now for him to get back. my answer is, NO.😢
🙏 sell him this summer, although SA will not offer as much $
Having said all that (see below) I think tiredness, and loss of confidence are playing their part - Playing Man U 3 times and not beating them really has affected the confidence
my opinion ...ramadam being starved all day and having to deal with that has to upset your routine
If that was the case why wasn’t he benched???
Salah's mind is already in Saudi, VVD has checked out already as well.
Mo is a legend, BUT you have to say something around his performance, energy level, brilliant unexpected movements (completely gone -> now quite easy to defend), STRONG finishing changed since that AFCON participation...
We need a refresh now to keep up with city. Jarrod Bowen would be a great signing and put a bid in for ollie watkins as nunez is just not good enough. We need two strikers who can get us 40-50 goals a season
We'd be crazy not to take 100m from Saudi for Salah in the summer. It is time everyone. We CANNOT lose him on a free, we simply cannot. Our club needs the funds from his sale to replace him and address other areas in the squad.
He is dropping off but what do you expect he is 32 now, so as lot people say its time for him to go !. The question is who are we getting to replace him cause Nunez and Diaz ain't the solution (They aint even close to as effective as Firmnio or Mane). Even after not considering penalties, Salah still has more goals than these two. Looking at the last couple of games its pretty clear that its just not only Salah but all three. I mean even the Chelsea game we just scraped last minute winner from VVD, it shouldn't be this hard with their current status. And as I remember Salah wasn't present, so problem is our forwards just cant finish. Diaz does score some crazy goals here and there but he also misses a lot. But Nunez really is the biggest disappointment.
This conversation is irrelevant. Yes, Mo isn’t in his best form since the AFCON but he’s still contributing goals/assists. He could have had more assists if either of Darwin/Luis could finish. More importantly let’s talk about Diaz: he runs a lot but no end product. We have no help from his side. However the biggest issue is our defence. We cannot keep conceding then expecting our strikers to dig us out of the hole. Every time the opposition (no matter who) break against us there is a chance for them to score
Been saying this from the start of last season.
Sell. He is too old to deal with AF con and playing while fasting every year. So now his form vanishes for months and derails our whole season as he throws a fit if we sub him off. Sell him and he can be our Coutinho money for Edwards rebuild.
While coming from behind is a good trait, going behind so many times is not a good sign, and it was inevitable at some point that we wouldn't be able to pull off a come back, we still lack athleticism in midfield and the pressing just isn't the same from anyone in front of the defense, since allowing FB to come inside into midfield mo has had to stay wider more often and we don't get the best out of him, but also he rarely sprints anymore, then we have Nunes, who couldn't hit a barn from the inside, its liverpools mistake, player turn over has being poor and we had to do too much last summer,
Its time to make big decisions - we need to consider selling Diaz and Salah from the front line - replacing them with strikers who will convert chances - from the back we need to look at our LB’s its time to bring in a Left footed CH who can play LB
Salah needs to be dropped to the bench, maybe then he'll show some fight to get his first team spot back. Our attackers are too complacent. If they played for a team like mancity with the depth they have. They wouldn't even be on the team bus with performances like that
let's be honest, he didn't improve, rather his performance is downgrading, still weak on his right leg, he's not fighting for air balls, doesn't help with defense, and lost his dribbling skills and became slow.
People's memories seem to only go back 4 or 5 weeks apparently. Couple months ago we were hearing "this is the best version of Salah the playmaker" Now that he's back injured from AFCON , injured and into his 30's playin with substandard strikes beside him that can't finish their dinner or find each other for easy goals, he's finished again apparently. You can;t expect him to do this czcams.com/users/shortsWNvQZeSf1bE anymore. - others need to step up eventually
Just a bit of a reality check - Mo Salah being miles off it is the same level as a top quality replacement. I suspect he'll leave in the summer and if his replacement gets 20 PL goals in their first season I'll be amazed. Next season we'll have to get used to Diaz, Nunez and Salah's replacement missing the target constantly. Like Klopp its time just to be grateful for Salah's contribution and say thank you. This season has ended we just haven't had the final whistle.
New manager... new tactics... sell Salah to fund a rebuild. Keep moving forwards reds, lets not become man u living off past glory.
We played better without Salah. It feels so disrespectful to say and I hate feeling like a knee jerk but I feel like Im not wrong on this? I text my mate part way though Sunday, "Is Salah playing?" It would be a BIG call to drop him for Atalanta but we need big calls....
Front 3 for me should be some combination of Gakpo/Danns/Diaz/Szob (controversial)/Nunez...... Gakpo for me has earned his spot from the last couple of showings, so 2 out of the rest....
How we’re near the top is beyond me. Poor all round really - then again nobody in the league are exceptional given previous seasons gone by
I did think Salah should have gone off rather than Nunez. He may be suffering after effects of Ramadhan
It Salahs last season time to move for all parties.
He's been poor but it's too much pressure with the chaos on the front line.
Mane was the real star
He really wasn't. He was a petulant little twat who had major issues living in Mo's considerable shadow
he needs to be sold and with that much money (probably 120mk) we can afford buying more players
Most of us think he'll be gone in the summer if the Saudi's want to pay craxy £ for him fair enough, we've had the best of Salah. Its a massive change this summer with Klopp going so it probably make sense.
He will leave us, The money he is worth will set him and his family up for life. The new manager has started by saying that some of the members of the current team will go, thats unsettled them. TAA is being touted as going to Barca or Real for a pretty penny. He says never but so did McMannaman and Torres and its their future not withstanding the fact that TAA owns property all over the shop. Internationals have taken the energy out of the lads and seeing we have so many international players in the team its not rocket science to say they are knackered and being human they can only stay fresh and active for so long, With all that going on it was always going to be tough at the end of the season and Jurgen said at the beginning of the season Man City would win it. So when they fk up cut them some slack. Playing at that level every few days will take its toll soon enough and we are at that point now. Stay hopeful that City will also conk out as has Arsenal. Its not over until VAR is well and truly booted out of the game for the piece of crap it truly is.... YNWA.
Mate he’s definitely not right , I hope his legs haven’t gone , pace too
I think he has credits in the bank and everyone here have short memories. I took him weeks to play full 90min after injury and he hasn't been the same since. Age is easy to go to bur he still has it. At times he can be frustrating but so can Darwin and especially Diaz.
A true legend. Sadly his legs are gone, time to move on
Make Mac Allister captain
Sell him to Saudi in summer. He's past his prime
Time to say goodbye, if Amorim comes, stamp his style of play. All Mo does, is stick to the wing
9 Assists tho. Could have, should have had another against Palace.
Nunez had 23 touches yesterday ?
He wants out, you can clearly see it
Think this will be his last season here tbh.
Sell him!!
Personally I think he’s finished. Jefferson Lerma uno
Sala’s dropping his form so when he leaves next season it won’t hurt as much due to his poor form?
Strurridge was a better natural finisher😂have a day off
Does vvd bring out the best from his leadership.. all these captains on field and not one angry moment? No tension .. wow.. too nice and hence terrible finishing...
His age is catching up with him also his mind is not on it as before is Now when he’s in the mood .been great servant to club it’s time to get most for him his last big thing for the club bring in money for reinvestment.YNWA
He never recovered from injury
He's obviously not interested in starting again in a 'new era'. Time to cash in and let him go.
We really don't. We just need to sell pronto
