Mo Salah's obviously not going through his best of patches now, but you can never write him off."He's still fit and healthy and injury-free and been top of his game for years. There's no doubt, surely in anybody's mind, that he'll be banging him in again soon."Cody Gakpo is playing well and did show some good signs last season, too.

As for Hugo Ekitike, he's probably been my pick of the bunch in terms of the new signings, I think he's done very well."Alexander Isak is coming back after not really having a pre-season, so he's coming in and out of the starting XI to try and get sharp and fit. I certainly can't remember ever winning there as a player."That game could have gone either way and it's not like Liverpool are playing badly.

I wouldn't be as hot and bothered as some people are about it."Focussing on the form of the team as a whole, the Ballon d'Or winner added: "It's interesting with Liverpool, if we spoke before the defeats, we'd be saying, 'what a fantastic start, five out of five wins in the Premier League, one out of one in the Champions League.'"After three defeats, suddenly it almost feels like a 'mini crisis', or at least that's what people are labelling it.
