Match Thread: Liverpool v Arsenal

Ok well as I said not seen today’s game but Salah is getting far fewer touches this season so far than previously

Mo is a worry. I was all for signing him up - his goal scoring has been ridiculously consistent and along with Virgil the bedrock of the team for years. Right now so far this season he has looked invisible - easy to mark - easy to block and largely ineffective.

Not sure if the Jota tragedy has damaged his mental state or what it is. But you don’t go from being a Rolls Royce to a Trebant in a few months….. Do you?

We may well have win and look better against lesser teams even with this new formation but ld personally back to 4 3 3 and drop mo. He can come on as an impact sub until/unless he shows unstoppable form.

I am one of his biggest fans - and he was a passenger

The Jota point is well made, he does seem to have been more affected than others.

Passing, abysmal….pressing, non existent, intensity, MIA… Almost cost us on 3 occasions giving the ball away in hugely compromising positions as the team were fully in attack phase…

Hmm, Mo had some good opportunities today but just either held on too long before taking the shot or his cross / pass didn’t work out for him.

I’m not sure I put his lack of involvement down to including Wirtz.

He put one on a plate for him. Mo's first touch was appalling all game.

We're not dropping Mo after 3 wins to start the season ffs.

[ianlfc]

That's why we're champions.

Think I'd push him narrower and closer to goal.
