A fantastic start to the season for Salah.

00:00 Looking at Liverpool's talisman Mo Salah, obviously there's been moments this season where you think,
00:05 is he ever going to slow down? Obviously the Saudi attention in the summer with that transfer saga,
00:11 you know, we're seeing the best of him again and it's very pleasing for Liverpool fans because he's
00:16 just not letting up at the moment.
00:18 Yeah, absolutely. I think Liverpool's decision to turn down a monumental bid of what was it, up to £150 million,
00:26 that is unjustified so far. Liverpool knew they couldn't replace Mo Salah, certainly in the short
00:34 term, getting someone in who could make an instant impact and they've proven that. Mo Salah didn't have
00:39 his best of games against Everton, I thought he was pretty poor to be honest with you. The first
00:43 half's touch wasn't quite there on a few occasions and he struggled against Vitaly Mikhailenko but
00:49 look, he came up with the two big moments, the penalty where he slammed it past Jordan Pickford,
00:54 we've seen the camera shot of Jordan Pickford's water bottle which we've seen against
01:00 Leicester last season when he's saving James Matson but he just absolutely thundered the
01:04 penalty past Jordan Pickford and then obviously wrapped up the game. In the closing stages,
01:08 I think it's 11 goal contributions in 10 games now, which is outstanding to be quite frank.
01:17 I think Mo Salah will even think himself he hasn't had the best of seasons in terms of what he's doing
01:23 for 90 minutes in games but he's coming up with big moments and he's got a real rapport now with
01:30 Darwin Nunes, Dominic Sobersley as well, he seems to really be relishing playing alongside and I
01:36 think as the season wears on then Mo Salah's performances are only going to get better and
01:41 that means that his productivity in the final third is as well.
