Mo Salah

[Shaggy]

Agree. He also doesnt come across as a guy who is money motivated at all. I loved that interview he gave last night how he sets himself personal targets (40 goals and 15 assists FFS ). We benefit by how driven he is. What he must be also beginning to see now is a structure where we dont have to rely solely on him.

He wants legend status, and is on his way to achieving it with us. If he went anywhere else he would have to start again.

It was interesting that BT did not ask him at all about his contract last night.

He went totally off-script last night

I loved the fact that he said he wanted Madrid in the final after everyone else gave it the full:

"We don't mind who we play, either team will be tough" routine.

[Mark79]

I wanted Madrid anyway, but especially so now so we get revenge motivated Mo in the final.

I think he'll sign a new contract.

Re his contract - he's in his 3rd CL final in 5 years since being here. Why would he want to go anywhere else? I thought he was gone but I've changed my mind, I think they'll reach a compromise.

3 CL finals in 5 years, 2 out of the last 4 years we have topped 90 points in the PL and look like we could do again this year. He's playing week in week out Klopp has sign on for an extra few years, if he leaves it can surely only be for non football reasons

[Shaggy]

Also - I can't believe he's been here for half a decade already. **** me. Where does the time go...

BT will have been told not to ask him about his contract as a condition of him appearing for the interview

His goal against Man Utd was a thing of beauty - no way he's turned to **** all of a sudden!

His shooting boots will be back, Still assisted 1 in 2 over the last 10 games.

So do people think Salah is not so much of a threat at the moment because he's off form? Or do you think Klopp has tweaked things so not everything goes through him incase he leaves?

Hes still brilliant, but something is different.

I think it's fatigue. I know Klopp has described him as a machine but I honestly believe that he's physically and mentally tired. Lots of club football (playing at the very highest level), international games (and disappointment), contract negotiations and media speculation. It all adds up. It hasn't really affected his ability to run, contribute in attack and track back, but his (burst of) speed and touch are off. Klopp is normally big on player welfare - but these aren't normal circumstances and Salah would be majorly pissed off if he was rested (rotated) too often. Hopefully, we'll see a second wind before a well earned break over the summer.

He was quiet last night for large parts of the game. Glad he's ours though, but for how much longer

[baitman]

He wants to play real Madrid to showcase himself

[Norbs]

Scores in the final and signs for the team we beat. Written in the stars and I can live with that outcome

[danperkins]

Mo will be chomping

Mo will be chomping

Shooting at every opportunity or being unplayable like pre Christmas? Hopefully it's the latter.
