I want to talk now about Mohammed Salah and his overall performance then, because it can't include the good and the bad and the difference is what we saw John.

0:07.8

I think it's undoubted that the change of formation and the change is set up clearly helps most Salah. I think a lot of the criticism this year of Salat

0:15.1

a lot of it I think has been justified but there's also

0:17.3

been, you know, if you're defending them

0:19.4

or you're looking for potential reasons what's changed on this year

0:21.5

compared to last year, you know, the legs have gone

0:23.9

has been said a few times. but there's also been, you know, if you're defending him or you're looking for potential reasons, what's changed from this year compared to last year,

0:23.0

you know, the legs have gone, has been said a few times and stuff, and maybe that's the case we don't know. But what's been obvious at times you've been stuck out with on that right wing, like really wide, isolated a little bit, and he probably hasn't got the ability anymore, or maybe the athleticism,

0:35.9

to maybe beat those fullbacks like he used to do.

0:37.6

That's normal.

0:39.0

I think getting them inside that channel sort of his heat map was basically imagine

0:43.0

directly parallel with the 18 yard box there he's so narrow it really helps him out like he wasn't

0:49.4

perfect he misses the penalty he misses a chance that he you know one-on-one moments after a one that

0:53.9

should have made a tune in anyway but he was much more influential in the game. He scores a wonderful goal. I think if Liverpool are going to continue to use Mosala every game, which apparently aren't a slot might, again, we'll see what the injury situation is obviously after he went off. I think that role suits him much, much better. He can be much more influential in there. He's got Frimpimpong doing the outside width and running for him, get most other closer to the goal, make it easier for him to press, make it easier for him to find his mate. No surprise that that tweak work because he's that good. He's still quality on the ball. Oh yeah, he's fantastic, and I think it's no surprise to sort of like, after maybe shot at the first 20, 3rd, 30s, as she sort of warmed up into the game.

1:31.1

If you're like you know all the sort of action around his goal and you know in the buildup to that was all very short passes in the area you know him he has this mad ability to sort of Archer's runs as he goes through the box and almost you think he's going out with the ball here he's going to let it go for a corner and then he just sort of cuts it back into someone behind him.

1:44.5

Never, you know... of Archer's runs as he goes through the box and almost you think he's going out with the ball here, he's going to let it go for a corner,

2:01.6

and then he just sort of cuts it back into someone behind him. Never, you know, kind of get many players who do that as well as he does, really. He's such a, he's so much more, I think, is what I'm trying to say, than just the goal scorer. You know, he's a very complete footballer when it comes to having the ball of us with him.

2:18.9

I say, maybe slightly less in terms of, like, you know, getting beyond the man nowadays, but in terms of his dribbling and stuff. But, no, it was much more sort of the sour of all. And what I liked as well was that it was very, you know, he's a player, I think, of times in his career he's been accused of being selfish

2:17.5

it felt very unselfish to me there's a lot of them sort of laying the ball off to other players bringing other players into play not just thinking right I've got to get on the end of this I'll do I get into the area kind of thing and get the ball back to me there was a lot of them sort of like bringing other lads in as I say sort of laying it off setting things up and then the goal itself

2:35.9

you know obviously as you say

2:37.4

with all all other stuff that went on round in terms of the penalty and stuff, the goal itself, for me, was just classic seller, you know, sort of one two touch and a brilliant finish, killed finish. If this is his last season, if it isn't, if it's, you know, next year's last or whatever,

2:52.8

that's more what I want to see from him. You know, yes, he's a player now, maybe at this stage in his career, and maybe he wouldn't like me saying this, that you've got a cater to. You've got to have that structure around them in terms of for impong and stuff to do some of us running. But for me it's like you look at the output from it,
