"I also think that Mo [Salah] is missing him, that connection that they had. Yes, sometimes they would get exposed in behind, but they would have someone try and cover that position - last season it was mostly [Dominik] Szoboszlai, previous to that would be Jordan Henderson.” Mohamed Salah hasn't found his form so far this season (Image: Justin Setterfield, Getty Images) Such has the theory grown over the past week or so that it was posited to Virgil van Dijk at Stamford Bridge, with the Liverpool captain making the somewhat valid point that the Reds needed to move on, especially considering it was Alexander-Arnold’s decision to leave.



In any case, Salah may have already revealed who it is he’s missing the most - Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez. Now I feel like I generally like playing with Nunez,” Salah said last season.

Sensing the skepticism from his interviewer, Salah would go on to explain: "Nah, I like playing with him in general. [Nunez is] a player with different skills. I knew their game very well but with Hugo he's still new." That connection can’t have been helped by Isak’s late arrival in the summer, and the need to ease the former Newcastle striker in following what was far from a normal pre-season for him.
