If you feel that it could be a problem within the squad and it affects performances you have a different story but I think we showed this week we are absolutely united and we go forward as one.“Mo [now] goes to the Africa Cup of Nations. We hope he will be successful there and all hope he comes back and that is important for us for the rest of the season.



But on the other side of it, we all know football and have no idea what will happen. He is still important for the football club but there are more parties to this situation.”Since Salah’s comments about being “thrown under the bus” and saying he has no relationship with Slot, Liverpool have won twice.

Salah spoke to his head coach on Friday to clear the air and reintegrated into match day plans.“That is something behind the scenes that we have to deal with but the performances speak for themselves, that we are united and that is the most important thing,” Van Dijk said of the affect of the week on the squad.“The mood in the dressing room has always been very good, obviously it can go down in terms of performances if you win or lose but the main thing I see is that we have the willingness to turn this around and the hunger and the energy to do so. We know the season is very long and we want to be consistent.
