One thing is for sure, Salah has most definitely benefitted from playing in a World Class front three with the two best attacking full backs in World football. He’s good, he’s very very good .... some of the time but I don’t feel he is totally irreplaceable, not by our current recruitment set up which has been absolutely incredible since Klopp came in.
I’ll wish Mo well if and when he goes, his stats (particularly in his first season) are incredible but I won’t be crying into my beer.
In his first season with us, arguably his best, I wouldn't have called Robbo or Trent world class back then. Once he settled in, his form exploded, scoring from everywhere and to be fair to him, it hasn't dropped that much in all his time here.
I'm like most who would probably say if one had to go Mo's name would be top of the list but I do think we'd miss him massively if he were to go say this summer. As good as our recruitment is now, I don't see anyone coming in and putting in the numbers he did in his first season or anywhere close.
I'd like at least one more season out of the 3 of them before we even contemplate breaking them up, because they are without doubt the best forward line in the world right now.
