        I think we have to accept the fact that Salah is in the declining side of his curve - last year was his zenith. For such a wonderful player, It's a bit sad to be honest.

    Lammens is a good signing

    Cunha, Mbeumo and Lammens

    Liverpool are winning this for sure. Defensive subs from United, pressed down hard and their players clearly getting tired.

    Slot said that he changed Liverpools system because they struggled last season against low block teams.

    They finished last season with the best xG in the league.

    Today they have the 7th best xG.
