Hello Ed001, please could you weigh in on the current replacement of Salah? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against him but since he became 'the main man' (especially since he won the cold War with Sadio), he has become complacent. Didn't appreciate the statement attributed to him of not needing to work for his slot (pun intended) .
Everyone should work for the team. Look at Szobo, he was obviously the odd one out with the new signing but he remained professional and worked his way back into the team. And he frankly was not a squard player.
{Ed001's Note - he became complacent? Was that last season when he put up incredible numbers?}

@xpertoyin, winning what "World War" with Sadio Mane? Sadio wanted to go and we let him go. It had nothing to do with Salah and it was not an either/ or situation.
Also, Salah being complacent? Sadio left only for Salah to go on and have Salah accomplish the greatest individual season in PL history and you call that guy complacent?
Mate, you may have been watching Salah play for LFC for near a decade. However, I don't think you ahve any idea who the man actually is on and off the pitch.

It was Cold War not World War, Oli. But I agree. I don't think there was any kind of war that was won by Mo. Mane wanted to leave and he forced his way out of the club in a way as well, giving an interview before our CL final game against Real Madrid. Somehow, no one seemed to mention or remember that. Mane was also burnt out in the end and his legs have gone, with Klopp resorting to shifting him to the centre.
And again, Mo said he didn't have to fight for his position, not place in the team. I'm still not sure what he truly meant by that.

"And again, Mo said he didn't have to fight for his position, not place in the team. I'm still not sure what he truly meant by that. ".
This is the part where as Ed01 said, you have to be careful when someone speaks English when English is not their first language. Things could get lost in the sauce.
For example in French, a player can say "I don't have to fight for my place". That means, "Fight for my place" in the starting 11 or in the squad. In English, that could mean, "Fight for my position".
Whereas in French, "position" (in this context) means the area of the pitch (RB, LB, CB, LW etc. ) a player occupies. That's all Im going to say.
{Ed025's Note - or it could mean..."im great and the best player on the planet and the world revolves around me so how dare you drop me you baldy tosser"..thats all im going to say.. :)

And in what spoken language is all that stuff you just posted be translated from? Remember, nobody nor country on this earth speaks "Ed25" but you.
{Ed025's Note - its interpretation Oli, people will read comments and situations the way they want to read them...here endeth the lesson..
