I'll be glad when he's gone.
Damn good player

Enjoy it while it lasts. This may be his last season with Liverpool.
Looking forward to seeing what the alltime topscorer against Manchester United will do tomorrow. Fully expect he will build on that record, as well as the record of most consecutive games scored against you.
He's scored 11 goals in the last 6 games against you, guys.

I triple captained him for FPL.
That can only mean one thing.
He's not going to do nothing, will get sent off and will also get an injury that's going to keep him out for a few months.
If anything he should be embarrassed he hasn't scored more against us, the shit bastard.
Nah, he’ll blank tomorrow. Trust me.
Everyone’s expecting a Liverpool masterclass and a drubbing for Utd, we all know how games go when that’s expected.
It’ll be a cagey, low scoring affair with ETH clinging onto his job for a bit longer as Utd managers do.
And Nunez will score 4 with TAA getting 3 assists.
Thanks for that little confidence boost.
At least you've done your bit, Oranges. Fair play.
Who ??
That's a powerful jinx. Still working out whether my mockers cancel that out or amplify it.
Foolishly took him out pre the game against them last year, so not only had the pain of the actual drubbing, but the fantasy footy points lost too.
This year, Tsimikas, Woeful Darwin and Salah (c).
It's inevitable that Darwin can suddenly finish from 10cm out against us after weeks of fails.

definitely lost a yard judging by that, struggled to open a space to get his shots in front the right, opted for a load of bad passes
He couldn't pass a ball in the first half.
Second half he hit that lovely outside pass that Gomez just wasted by shooting into side netting.
Still miles better than Nunez as CF, Liverpool will have a few more of these home games next season if they don't adequately replace him once he heads off to Saudi land.
Was surprised how bad he was today
Klopp didn’t help things by putting him in the centre . Varane and Evans had him in their pockets.
He’s also lost a bit of pace I noticed. I haven’t watched Liverpool since last season
almost as bad as his hair nowadays
Yeah first time I’ve seen him this season, looked a yard off it
Tried hard. Not good enough. Move onto the next one.
I triple captained him for FPL, so I knew this was coming. I'm taking all the credit for that shite performance from him today.
This went well.
So smug about it as well

Just like big Virgil
That guy is such a terrible poster. Just on here to WUM constantly. No idea how he survived the cull a few years back.
I was thinking watching the first half today just what a clutch player this guy is. Basically the xG for his chance from that angle would've been very low indeed for majority of other players and yet he sticks it into the top corner no problem. This was at a time Liverpool were being dominated and it transformed the complexion of the game completely.
He's fantastic on the counter, finishes most of his one on ones and currently has just the 12 prem goals in 18 games plus some brilliant assists and barely misses a game.
That's quite a profile.
I was amazed so many of their ex players and pundits in the media were so desperate for them to cash in on him at the end of August as Liverpool would be nowhere near title race if he wasn't around.
Was quite funny the amount of press in pre season saying Nunez would score 25 prem goals with his eyes closed this season, the reality is very different indeed for a second season running.
Gakpo is o.k...but no more at the top level and takes rash decisions when entering penalty area. Diaz and Jota are good and fit Klopp's system but miss too many games through injury.
In previous years it wasn't too bad for them with Mane and Firmino around but I can see them dipping significantly again next season if they botch the CF recruitment given their defence is getting on aswell.

Can they replace with a better team player? Yes.
Can they replace with a better goalscorer? No.

Of course they can. People thought Suarez was irreplaceable. Whether they can recruit the right players to replace him and his goals is another story entirely. Their record with forwards hasn’t been as good lately.
Bowen. Not as good but Klopp been lubing him up, he's the right profile, doing very well and ready to take the next step up. Won't cost 100m I think.
I don't think they can easily replace him nor do I see a "Kane effect" where losing him allows the rest of the team to play differently in a positive way. He's one of the best attackers in PL history who also slots in very well stylistically into Klopp's system and who also has a near perfect injury record even into his 30s. Those don't grow on trees.
Salah is honestly the best player in the PL and has been for a while. Only Henry is above him in my honest opinion, in terms of the league. Can't be replaced, the best hope is to change the attacking dynamic to spread the burden.
No chance like for like but they'll recruit well. They'll get a massive fee for him so will have no issues with FFP and will be able to strengthen other positions too.
They botched the Suarez recruitment that summer. Had that bizarre strategy of going for Rickie Lambert (who was already about 32), Balotelli (enough said) and Markovic was a sort of final third player who also did very little. Not sure if Borini was already there but another who was nowhere near good enough.
Mane and Firmino came in the next summer but both took a while to settle in, certainly Firmino looked completely off the pace for six months.
Only guy in the sport who is a bigger vertical threat is Mbappé. And the way Liverpool immediately looks for him in behind everytime they get the ball is a big part of what makes their attack so dangerous
So right now? Unless they get Mbappé, anybody else would be a major downgrade with significant repercussions upon their entire playing style
Throw in the fact he's also their most dangerous final third passer...

They haven't replaced Sane or Firminho well enough. So the answer I think is no.
They'll drop their output by about 20 goals a season without him.

I agree with this. He's very underrated. Great big game player, overall performances are fantastic and so many goals and assists. Been doing it consistently for many years too.
Who knows. Long they look to have purchased the compents with the potential to. Right now they are all just potential. Young padwans playing alongside a master
Yeah that's the thing; they haven't done too well replacing Firmino and Mane. The peak front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah was insanely good. Diaz and Nunez haven't really been up to much despite the silly early hype around Diaz.
