There was obviously a lot of debate about whether he was the best defender or ‘he couldn’t defend.’"But I just think some of the passes he played through to Salah and switches of play, that’s a big loss for Liverpool. Mo Salah has been one of the best players in the league for a long time."I think the last week has shown something.

Over the last week, I’d questioned his work ethic."We know he doesn’t always get back and defend as much, but last night, the Chelsea game, I thought his full-back was getting torn apart and he’s watching. I think over the last six months.

The people I know, Liverpool fans in Liverpool, they were on his back."But because he’s scoring goals and they’re winning. You’ve still got the balance of the team and the work being done, but he’s moved him inside, so he’s still on the pitch because he’s always got a chance of scoring goals and winning games."I think when you get a little bit older as well, Slot maybe could have looked at yesterday and thought Chelsea are killing us down this side and moved him inside a little bit."Even if you put Wirtz there and still have that work ethics behind you, but the brilliance of Salah to go and try and score goals.
