Just re-watched the game. He was really poor throughout the whole game, probably his worst game for us. He also kept throwing up his arms as soon as someone took a shot or didn't pass him. Didn't look pretty. It can only get better from this really.

Normally a player can look great on tubes, but one of the things that's encouraging for me is just the amount of youtube videos on him

He worked his backside off made a number of runs, was always pressing when we didn't have the ball. We need to get behind him.

Huh? He was good for 55 minutes of that game, making runs and trying to feed others through. It was only the last 10 minutes he really struggled and became sloppy.

Not too dissimilar from how Salah started last season. He just needs a bit of a confidence boost. He will score a few and be unstoppable again, no worries.

He may be frustrated, but that's natural. He isn't the new Le Sulk. He needs us to be fully behind him, especially after the summer he had

Liverpool fans, huh? Really need to hurt themselves for afraid that things might just be right this time around. Stop spreading nonsense; Salah celebrated the goal. Can't bear thinking what some of us will say if he can't get a goal this Saturday.
It's that Rafa situation again when we were top of the league.
The thing is he had a same start last year, he was missing chances, and he didn't kick into gear until November really much like the rest of the team.


This. And last season Mane was the main man until he was injured and Salah picked it up and never looked back after that.

Mo's just going through what most players go through after an amazing season = form.

Form is temporary - class is permanent.

I like the fact that he got pissed off with himself because we want to see that fight in our players and not someone who is just happy to get his (large) check at the end of the week after getting splinters on the bench.

Nearly there... was superb today just missed that little finesse that was so trademark of him last season. That backheel deserved to go in just for the audacity. But he finally looked as sharp as he was last season. Rinsed Vestergaard time and time again. I'd say he hits top form again sometime just before the international break. Given all that though, he's still managed 3 goals and an assist in 6 league games when he's not been anywhere close to his best. That's the mark of a world class talent.

Shame that backheel didn't go in, would have been a contender for goal of the year already.

He was good today, unlucky not to have another or two, his best performance so far this season.

Sounds as if he had a really good game today, certainly got loads of mentions on the commentary. It's a pity he didn't score with the back heel sounds like it would have been a real quality goal.

He's getting there, but he's still a long way off the high standards he set himself last season. He really can't beat his man anymore unless he beats him for pace, which he will everytime. That close control and beating of a couple of players (think the goals vs. Everton and Spurs at Anfield) is still not quite up to scratch but he'll be back to his best soon enough. Hell of a player if he's scoring and assisting without even being at his best.

Of course what the camera didn't show is that moments later Mo threw a water bottle, full pelt, into the crying child's face.

Anyway, better performance from him today whilst not being great. Most importantly was nice to see his wry smile when things weren't coming off. It'll come.

Don't think anybody here is expecting him to match last season's tally, nor should we.  Mo isn't carrying the team.  We're still looking at perhaps 20 PL goals from him this season, with a fair number of assists as well.  That's perfectly reasonably given our options up front.

Just had a quick look at the expected goals stats and expected assists stats for the premier league this season. He leads the league in expected goals with 5.09, and is third in expected assists with 1.99. His actual tallies are lagging his expected tallies by almost 2 goals and a full assist.

His actual numbers are well below the standard, but he's been the best player in the league according to the advanced stats. I'd still expect him to score 30+ this season, and was really encouraged by his display on Saturday. More importantly, I loved his his attitude when things didn't exactly go his way (rueful smiles, the audacity of that backheel), which was more reminiscent of his attitude last year when things would go his way.
