*Top 4 mate. We are not UTD.
You don't when you'll finish in the league next season so let's stick with "top 6" phrase.
I also want to count Arsenal. Mo Salah

I also want to count Arsenal. Morata was a bench player though. Had he started most games he numbers would've likely doubled.
So Liverpool will still have a huge problem when Salah and Mane vanish in tandem during AFCON.
I like Salah. Excellent goalscorer.
Klopp is stockpiling too many similar players, in my opinion.
They will never win a title with his tactics. The pressing kills them by February. They will be good to watch, though.

Real showdown against City if Jesus plays.
So he can't be good because Liverpool bought him for a reasonable fee? That's daft. Mane was one of the best wingers in the league at Southampton, he went to Liverpool for a similar fee and was one of the best wingers again last season. I hope Salah is a massive flop for them but looking at the deal objectively they have done very well here.
It's almost like we don't have 18 months left to address that...
It would have made more sense to sign a big money non AFCON winger though right?
Hilarious. What a witty club they are... Pure bantz m9. Absolute legends.
Pure class... Announced. Twitter is stunned.
Clop is a genius. 17/18 is theirs la. Attacking quartet of Salah, Mane, Firmino and Coutinho. A combination of speed, wizardry, tekkerz and teeth. Champz League royalty here to claim back their throne.Remember Liverpool didn't miss out on Champions League, the Champions League lost out on them la.
Can't wait for some proper glamour to be injected into the comp again next year.
Those Bulgarian farmers from Ludovillage won't know what hit them. Famous magickh'l nights at the Kop la. Gonna be proper sweet.
One way of solving that is just by having lots of that type of player, then you can chop and change and nobody gets tired.
This I think is what Klopp is opting to do, not buy alternative players who play differently.
Two valid ways of approaching the problem, don't think one is right over the other
Good signing, I expect him to do well.
What.the.feck? Did they not have any budget to do a proper announcement? Even a normal old fashioned signing of contract picture would have been better than that shit.
That's super cringeworthy. And why the feck is he saying "hannounced"?
Hey! Not all of us are farmers dammit
Nice one. Something different at least.
Liverpool's form from March to May was strong.
This is probably not the time or the place, but didn't Mo state some rather outrageous opinions on Jews a few years ago?
Well if he has a much better attitude than Mido he might come good for Liverpool.I hope he succeeds in England but for his team to fail obviously.
At the end, seeing an Egyptian player playing regularly for a top 6 team in England has been a dream for me.
He refused to shake the hands of some Israeli opponents from Macabbi Tel Aviv, but stated afterwards that he felt pressured by extreme movements in Egypt, or something like that. I could be wrong but that's all I remember from that incident, he was still at Basel back then.
It's not even a close comparison. Salah has a far, far better attitude on and off the pitch.
Mido could have achieved better than what he did but he's one of these players that destroyed themselves.
Mo Salah, mo problems.
ok, if that's the case then i was clearly off the mark. cheers
They were out of everything by February and lost against Hull and Leicester that month. Their final few games were very easy. The teams were either safe or on their holidays; Watford, Stoke, West Ham, etc.
The only thing impressive about Liverpool is their form against the top 6/7 sides. You can always count on them to ruin it against a Palace or Burnley.
That's what happened, yes.
The pressure from Egyptians on anything regarding contact with Israel isn't easy enough and it was a hard situation for a young player as him at this time, but I think he dealt with this fine, just refused shaking their hands directly but went there, played and even scored. Other Egyptians players before didn't even try to travel to Israel and feared for the outcomes from Egyptian media, like Ahmed Hassan when he played with Anderlecht.
Salah did well at this condition imo.
I'm sure we've all said things as youngsters we'd rather forget. He has recently said that we should respect people of all religions and races. Can't find the quote at the moment.
His accent...That's super cringeworthy. And why the feck is he saying "hannounced"?
He said Salah Announced.
Jeez...
I agree we need to sort our defence out and we will address that no doubt, as far as Salah is concerned he's a player we actually do need, besides Mane we have no other natural wingers, Coutinho can now drop back to his best position and we will have blistering pace on both sides, Coutinho as good as he is has no pace.
If you look at Mane's stats he's actually a lot better on the left, he's scored nearly twice as many goals from there, he would have played there for us last season only or the fact we had absolutely no-one else to go on the right.
He will fit in perfectly at a club who openly support racism.
How is Suarez doing these days anyway?
Really??? you still going on about that.
How could we ever forget it?
Fair play. Only seen him play 90 maybe 5 or 6 times. Always down the right. Had no idea he'd spent time on the left. Makes Sala a very good signing if true.
Damn right. Salah was openly racist in a match against Israel. He is racist.
me too.
I agree also with @Smacky The Frog
but I have to say that most of Roma fans rate salah very high.
Quote from Salah to LFC TV:
"Last season with Roma we played five at the back and two strikers; I was a second striker, like a number 10," he told LFCTV.
"I have played on the right. Sometimes I go on the left. I can play anywhere up front."
