Liverpool have started the season brilliantly and head into the international break with three wins out of three.
There was clear uncertainty over how the Reds would find the beginning of the campaign having suffered the almighty blow of losing Jurgen Klopp as manager.
However, Arne Slot has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. Liverpool have swaggered into the season, a thumping win over Man United on Sunday their latest statement. With the first pause of the season now upon us, it’s a good time to take stock of how things are shaping up.
Despite their excellent start, though, pundit Nedum Onuoha has spotted a sign that all is not quite as it may seem at Anfield right now. Nedum Onuoha makes Mohamed Salah pointOne big reason Liverpool were able to beat United so comfortably at the weekend was the form of Mohamed Salah.
Salah loves playing at Old Trafford and his well-taken strike against Andre Onana made it at least one goal in each of his last seven appearances on the ground.It was not necessarily his performance on the pitch which grabbed the most headlines on Sunday, though.
Salah spoke about his contract situation after the game, insisting that no offer had come from Liverpool as of yet. And speaking to BBC’s Planet Premier League about the Egyptian’s comments, Onuoha has insisted that ‘something feels off.’“It doesn’t feel right to me,” said the former defender.
When I see the way Liverpool do transfers and the like, they don’t spend a ton of money overall and when they do it tends to be one in, one out and so on.
So, when they have somebody who’s as big an asset as Mo Salah and he’s talking about he’s just going to leave at the end of the year, does that help the club long term? I’m not sure.
So, it does feel a bit off from my standpoint,” Onuoha adds. “The ease in which he said it, I don’t know, something feels off there. “Surely, surely, surely those three players [Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk] aren’t leaving at the end of the season. Surely.
Cesc Fabregas weighs in on Salah situation
Appearing alongside Onuoha on this particular podcast was former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas.Having listened to Onuoha’s point of view, Fabregas, who played with Salah at Chelsea, gave his own verdict.And it’s safe to say that Fabregas thinks Salah is about to leave Liverpool.
Knowing Mo a little bit, he will send a message because he really feels that this is his last year and he will move on at the end,” said the World Cup winner.We’re not quite sure ‘something feels off’ about the whole situation.
Given Salah’s age and enormous wages, this isn’t quite as black and white as it may look from the outside. But as this kind of talk continues to distract, it’s clear that Liverpool need to find a resolution.
