Surely has to be a case of just bad timing (he was unhappy about something else at the same time) rather than him being annoyed Firmino scored? Thats my hope anyway James Milner is incredible. I think his contract ends this season so I hope we give him a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my hope anyway I believe he was celebrating the goal before the camera went to Klopp and then he threw the bottle on the ground in that manner most likely out of relieved frustration with himself and the situation.

He also looks out of sorts generally. Maybe he should miss the Southampton game to rest up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Salah raised both arms when the goal went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomThomDrum Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Salah needs to learn to adapt his game with the attention he is now going to get due to making himself a superstar last year. I dont know if rest is what he needs. I dont pretend to know how his mind works, but he may simply want to keep going until it clicks again for him. If he is getting the majority of the attention then the others on the team should have a better chance to succeed. If he is mindful of that and that in fact materializes he should be OK with not banging in goals every single game, so long as the team are doing OK and his contribution is, in effect, making a difference. I dont think a selfish, self centered mindset will last too long in Klopps squad, no matter the talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Ronaldo and Messi have distorted peoples opinion about what is normal. It's very rare for footballers to be amazing season after season.

It's very rare for footballers to be amazing season after season. Ronaldo usually starts slowly and then hits another gear, as he did last season and this season. He was finished last week and now hes amazing again after the weekend. Salah will probably be the same. Last year was too good for it to be a fluke. But hes going to have to accept that hes a marked man from now on. Interested to see how hes adapts.

sdvruxk Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 It was a joke after the De Gea nonsense last week. Calm down. I don’t think he’ll hit the heights of last season but as people have pointed out already, that’s only to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City were probably unlucky not to come away with 3 points that day but still fair play. They probably deserved their point against us today too from what I saw of it.

Missing one of their best players and you wouldn’t notice... Tbf City have played the three newly promoted teams and two of the favourites to be relegated. The only top-half quality team they've beaten is Arsenal. With the amount of quality in that team, they shouldn't be struggling. Really interested to see how they fare against teams with a bit more quality who have a go at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
