Nahh, he was excellent today. Dominated his flank almost singlehandedly.I think folks have gone a little overboard, he was good today but still demonstrated his poor decision making quite regularly, from holding on to Salah for about an hour to guarantee getting a yellow, to running into blind alleys looking to shoot when he should have passed.
Better than he has been for a while, no doubt, but still plenty of room for improvement.

Salah was very quiet today. He's literally the best player in the world at the moment and he scored his only goal from the penalty spot after De Ligt forgetting he's not a basketball player.That's definitely hyperbole, the number of times Salah ran through means it simply can't be true.
That's the manager's directive. If a player gets past you, you foul them and take the yellow.I think folks have gone a little overboard, he was good today but still demonstrated his poor decision making quite regularly, from holding on to Salah for about an hour to guarantee getting a yellow, to running into blind alleys looking to shoot when he should have passed.

I don't disagree with what you've said. The flipside, though, is that some of the criticism he receives also goes too far.I think folks have gone a little overboard, he was good today but still demonstrated his poor decision making quite regularly, from holding on to Salah for about an hour to guarantee getting a yellow, to running into blind alleys looking to shoot when he should have passed.

Agreed, Liverpool were holding onto our players all over the pitch, but did it subtly and rarely were punished. There’s still a naivety about our players, Dalot in particular.I don't think the manager directed him to get manhandled, but even so he could have avoided the yellow by being more subtle about it, it turned into a bear hug.
Exactly, give him a proper shot at right wingback position and then assess his performances. He’s a confidence player clearly and you can’t question his commitment or work ethic even when it’s not working for him but when he’s on it he’s a good rightback.I think he’s to hard to rate currently, sure he’s not been great but he’s playing an entirely new position on the other side of the pitch.
He was good today, his cross to Amad was great and the link up he did right before that was what we’ve been looking for.
I can’t stand him, but credit were it’s due, he was much better today.
Why? He always gives his best, doesn't sulk, and has never disrespected the fans and the club. Seems like a good lad all around, even if he may be a level below what is needed.
He was also one of best players in the second half of last season. I wish we would give him a run at RWB, his crosses are really good when he’s playing with confidence. Even with his lapses in performance he still plays full out and atleast try’s, that goes a long way when looking at most of our squad.Exactly, give him a proper shot at right wingback position and then assess his performances. He’s a confidence player clearly and you can’t question his commitment or work ethic even when it’s not working for him but when he’s on it he’s a good rightback.
Unlikely to see him on the right much as he's the only player who can stay fit and put in a remotely decent performance at left wing back in our squad. He has also played a full season at LWB while at Milan, and he has plenty of good moments. Hopefully he can build off today and find his good form, as he definitely can have a good level from the left still.Exactly, give him a proper shot at right wingback position and then assess his performances.

Would imagine the manager has told him to do that more often - it really makes such a differenceWeird that today he just all of a sudden decided that he would go on the outside instead of cutting in on his right all the time. It made a massive difference to our play and he put in a few decent balls.Did all right with Salah.

I was a fan of him but have to admit he's been mostly terrible this season.
Today's performance is much more like what I came to expect of him, he was excellent. Shame he's been so bad this season because it looked like there was a good player in there.
Salah hardly ran through today… he was in Dalots pocket even after the early yellow.That's definitely hyperbole, the number of times Salah ran through means it simply can't be true.
I agree, personally he has been one of my favourite players over the last few years. Not because I think he's world class, but because I think we've had very few likeable players but I certainly think he's one of them.Why? He always gives his best, doesn't sulk, and has never disrespected the fans and the club. Seems like a good lad all around, even if he may be a level below what is needed.
Don’t forget holding onto the ball for 3-4 seconds when Amad was already through and behind him and a simple on the floor pass would have been gorgeousI think folks have gone a little overboard, he was good today but still demonstrated his poor decision making quite regularly, from holding on to Salah for about an hour to guarantee getting a yellow, to running into blind alleys looking to shoot when he should have passed.
