A look at whether Liverpool have learnt to cope without Mohammed Salah as rumours could re-kindle this summer about a move away from Anfield and for Everton, is Sean Dyche rightly under fire as the Toffees are without a win in 10 Premier League matches.

00:00 Mo Salah, as you mentioned, have Liverpool shown this season that they can cope if Mo Salah leaves in the summer?
00:08 I know they've had some very late wins and very close games without him inside,
00:13 but have they shown that they can cope without him if he is to go in the transfer window?
00:19 Yeah, it would be interesting what does happen. Obviously, a year left on his deal in the summer,
00:24 and it's the Jürgen Klopp departing the club, and will that be maybe the final point of where Mo Salah thinks,
00:32 "I think I'll leave now and let Liverpool start the new era without me as well and without Jürgen Klopp?"
00:38 Because the success they've brought to Liverpool has been immense, hasn't it?
00:43 Mo Salah has played two games for Liverpool this season, the first one on New Year's Day in Newcastle,
00:51 and when he came back from injury against Brentford, he made a goal-scoring impact.
00:58 Maybe they are showing ways to win, but if Mo Salah was to leave in the summer,
01:04 then he'd probably want another winger in, but it depends what manager comes in to replace Jürgen Klopp and what his ideas are.
01:11 I don't think anyone will be pushing Mo Salah out of the door.
01:15 I think he's widely regarded as one of the best players in Wales,
01:19 and if he comes and says, "I'm the new manager, I'm right behind you," then you'd be a fool to not be delighted.
01:26 Well, let's move on to Everton. We always mention that football is a results game,
01:32 and especially in the Premier League, and Sean Dyche is coming under a bit of fire.
01:36 At the end of the day, the results have been poor.
01:39 Is it unfair, or is it sort of warranted at Everton that maybe his future is talked about?
01:46 It's a hot topic of conversation, certainly. You only have to check social media after the West Ham game.
01:53 Some people would Dyche out, and some people saying, "Well, what more is he meant to do?"
01:59 So I think maybe you have to come to a happy meeting when you look at this argument.
02:07 Are there things that Dyche could do better? Maybe there are, yes.
02:11 I think there are some complaints about the substitutions at times, but when you have 22 shots on goal,
02:19 when you have 11 on target, when you miss a penalty, it's Sean Dyche's job as a manager to ultimately set up and win games.
02:29 Everton have done that. They've set themselves up against West Ham last week to win the game,
02:35 and they've had the chance to win the game.
02:37 And the Avons have been pushing for a win, and they got caught on the break.
02:42 And Tron's ice, he was exasperated at the end of it. He doesn't dig his players out, to be fair.
02:47 He needs to start picking up results, because they are five points clear of the drop zone now after the points deduction being reduced.
02:54 But with another charge overhanging them, no-one knows what's going to happen.
02:59 So they need to get themselves as far away as possible from that drop zone.
