We’re so used to him being a confident player and I think that first opportunity that he had, when Khusanov fell over, got back up and tackled him, was a real tell-tale in how Mo Salah was going to play today.“We saw him walk in at half time and he was devastated. But he’s a senior player, he’s a big player for Liverpool.
But right now he’s got to put it all out on the pitch and score goals for his team.” Is it time for Van Dijk to join Salah this summer and leave Liverpool?
