The travelling Reds experienced some familiar recent issues – a failure to be cutthroat in attack whilst conceding sloppy goals at the back meant that Jürgen Klopp’s men could only take a point from the London Stadium.

The match was notable for an angry exchange between the outgoing boss and star player Mo Salah.

Mo’s wage structure-busting contract expires in the summer of 2025 which would enable him to leave on a free transfer.

On the latest episode of our Journo Insight show, we asked experienced LFC journalist Neil Jones for his thoughts on the Salah story.

Neil said:

“I wouldn’t sell him at any point, just because I think Liverpool need as many players as they can bank on – and he’s one of them.

“I wouldn’t have sold him.

Well, what if he does in the meantime?

“I think it’s a positive for Liverpool if Salah does stay.

If it is the case that Salah’s going to stay on Merseyside for another season, I’m all in on that.”

Redmen Reacts

Whilst it is certainly the case that Mo Salah has not been at his best since returning from injury, there has been a rush in some quarters to write him off as ‘finished’ or past his best.

Salah will be turning 32 in June, and whilst he is nearer to the end of his career than the start, players such as Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo have all proved it is possible for dedicated players to continue scoring regularly into their mid-30s.

If Liverpool are to cash in on Mo, this summer seems like the last opportunity to do so.

With some of the initial rush of European-based players becoming unsettled in Saudi Arabia, it seems as if the project is not expanding at the same pace as last summer.
