Lots of plaudits for Szobo and Mo (the whole team in general), but I think Endo put in a brillant performance as well.
Micah is just bullshit.
The utd pundits will be sick they loved saying Virgil was not as good as some other defenders because he only won one premier league title.
I am also going to give some plaudits to Trent as he never gave in against Doku, and Konate was my 3rd choice of motm by supporting him by covering the cross or pass.
1st two choices for motm were obvious others as well
I think it shows that we have a manager who’s willing to be pragmatic for the larger picture.
Not a dig on Jurgen but jurgen would have pushed our team to score 5 goals today. Slot made us dig in. Ensured our lot didnt tire ourselves out. And still had enough to create atleast 5 clear goal scoring opportunities.
I’d still say Henry, but there really isn’t too much difference.
I found that a rather hard watch, but it is one of the best defensive displays that I can remember. It’s encouraging that we can shut up shop like that when needed.
Mo MotM for me for securing the points. In fact there were no bad performances there, but our combined defence was impressive.
Anyway, 11 points clear until Arsenal play. Just enjoy that for a moment:
Thicker than it.
The post match with Mo and Dom is glorious. So focused on what they still have to do, yet so willing to rub each other
- didn’t hear the “now you’re going to believe us” chant because he was too tired
- Admitted the first goal was a mistake as the ball wasn’t supposed to end up there
- Dom says it would be nice for Mo to return the favor more often
- Mo rolls his eyes and says he’s a kid and has time to learn
Goldbridge just described Cheaty as Scrappy Doo FC.
That’s just absolutely bullshit.
It really is feeling like the 80s again with that table and teletext graphics
You in Germany? God I miss teletext
So, just to recap, here are ALL the records that Mohamed Salah set vs Manchester City tonight:
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to register 40+ goal involvements in TWO different seasons.
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to be directly involved in 50 goals across all competitions in 2024/25.
◉ Mo Salah has now scored AND assisted in 11 Premier League games this season, the most by a player in a single season in one of Europe’s big five leagues since Lionel Messi for Barcelona in 2014/15 (11).
◉ Mo Salah has provided more assists in 2024/25 than any other Liverpool player has in a single Premier League campaign (16).
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score AND assist in both games against the reigning champions in a season.
◉ Mo Salah is the first player to score 25+ goals and register 15+ assists in a Premier League season.
Is this the greatest individual season in the Premier League… ever?
Nah; Man City would be more likely to be in Division Two than in the top four.
Don’t forget the high inflation!
Henry:
Salah:
Bearing in mind that Salah made 13 appearances for Chelsea and only scored twice for them, I’d say that his overall record is better than the Frenchman’s… especially when you consider the way opposition defenders are allowed to manhandle him scot-free.
Enjoying Sturridge on Sky Sports
Started off shy in previous weeks, but he’s really found his voice now.
Telling them some solid Salah truths now.
What’s he saying? I don’t watch Sky.
I enjoyed him saying at halftime that he thought Haaland would start the second half…
Anyway kudos to City. They were gracious in defeat and didn’t put in any overly physical tackles…
Doku ran Trent ragged but no end product thankfully.
