I don't think any of the headed chances today were genuinely good chances as they were all too high and he was stretching for them. But his general play was a bit of a mess. The dribbling skills of both he and Salah have really dropped off, trying to take on a man and failing to execute the necessary control has become a bit of a pattern. Is it a confidence thing? Maybe fatigue?

I don't think he's missing good chances they are mostly half chances, the problem for me is we are creating sod all, we probably had 2 real chances in all today the rest were half chances or long range efforts. Midfield need to be doing more than passing the ball side to sideThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

What the sweet round of **** is going on with this lad ?
Its like the Covid has done a number on him and he can't remember what a football is.
Gone from being probably the most dangerous forward in the game to a complete stranger."I will make the boys feel your support"

I don't think a few of them and mostly Mane have been the same since their brush with covid. Mane used to be so quick an opposing player wouldn't even try to race him. He seems to have lost that lethal burst of pace. And his finishing has gone to ****.

Front 3 look like strangers at the moment, it's bizarre & Mane has been looking like a Sunday league player of late.Comment

It's been coming for ages. The flow between the front 3 was poor last season but each of them could conjure up a decisive moment that won the game. For me each season they have linked less well from open play. We are now where we are and that 3 should never start a game together again.

Did Owen really say something along these lines ?
Owen goal
The hottest of all Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea takes came from Michael Owen, speaking to Optus Sport:
“Mo Salah is the penalty taker in this team, and if [Mane] thinks he’s getting a chance to score he thinks, “well I’m going to score, if I don’t stay on my feet, Mo Salah’s going to get another penalty. It might be a wild sort of theory, but the competitive nature of him and Mo Salah… we’ve seen them not passing to each other when one of them is in a much better position to the other. We’re seeing a little bit of selfishness, we’re seeing a little bit of disgruntled behaviour.”
‘A wild sort of theory’? That professional footballer Sadio Mane actively does not want to win penalties because teammate Mo Salah takes them and not him? Not at all. These two Liverpool players who have won the Champions League and Premier League together clearly despise each other to the extent they would rather lose than give the other an opportunity to score (if you ignore Salah’s excellent first-half pass that led to Mane’s air shot)."I will make the boys feel your support"

I'll normally back Owen, I think he is a good pundit. But that is deranged.Modifying post.Comment

Nothing misplaced about Salah’s lofted pass to Mane.
And I suppose Mane fluffed that chance because he didn’t want Salah to get an assist

Of course not. Salah does put some decent balls in at times. I just don't see why you're so defensive of the idea they don't get on and it could be affecting the team. Something is not right.Originally posted by Pepe79 View PostNothing misplaced about Salah’s lofted pass to Mane.
