He hits an absolute screamer once in a while though. Pep famously seems to think he can do more also.
Balancing the squad over the next games means we need cool heads against everton who we have no clue how they will act up under rafa when they see red. Would you risk konate v southampton knowing he is fond of a wander and could leave gaps all over? Rationale might be matip played v Porto and would then need to play more in a row to play v everton.
We've definitely had some decent results but as you allude to we're struggling for goals big time (only scored more than one goal in league in two matches - Burnley & Newcastle) which is why I fail to see us getting anything here. I completely disagree with you later post about us having some decent wide men. It's easily our weakest position at present with only one of our options being up to the required standard imo and he's injured anyway. Think we might see Djenepo out on the left to try and help out with Salah as he's put some excellent defensive performances in games against the better teams in the last year or so. On your last point Armstrong is absolutely rapid so it could definitely be an option.
Ok so you have some warm bodies to play out wide then Fair enough. The most important thing for you.lot is to come with a clear plan and not just rock up and play the same game you always do. We will be looking to be high up the park so theres bags of space behind vvd and especially trents side. The question is then can you beat the press or bypass it and push us back. You have a high corner count as well so that success you are getting down the channels where we are weak as sin... Our record is 3 goals per game v bottom half and 0.6 conceded.
Oh we'll definitely come with a game plan, it's whether we have enough cutting edge to cause you problems. And considering we only managed to create 2 chances against Norwich last week then I'm not overly hopeful.
Liverpool can achieve a rare scoring feat when they take on Southampton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. The Reds have scored at least twice in each of the last 16 matches in all competitions – the first English team to do so since Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1939. Should they do so again in the 3pm GMT kick-off, Jürgen Klopp's men would become the first top-flight team to reach the landmark of 17 in a row since Sunderland in 1927.
Liverpool are two goals short of recording 700 since Klopp took charge. Virgil van Dijk has not lost in any of his 53 Premier League games at Anfield as a Liverpool player. Mohamed Salah has seven league goals in his eight Liverpool appearances against Southampton, averaging a goal every 99 minutes. Only Robbie Fowler (eight) has scored more for the club against Saints in the Premier League era. Fowler is the only Reds player to score league hat-tricks against Southampton, doing so in October 1993 and January 1999.
All these records are utterly convincing me salah is going to score that hat trick and my advice to triple captain will look genius.
