Arne Slot praises 'professional' Salah after comfortable Liverpool win

[Apathetic Cowboy Deluxe]

I think what really stood out about this match was how well the team adapted to playing away from home. They didn't let Marseille's fans intimidate them, but instead used their energy to fuel their own performance. The defense was solid, with Gomez looking like a completely different player - all that injury history seemed to be behind him for tonight! And that free-kick by Szoboszlai? Genius move, I love how he did his homework on the opposing team's setup and capitalized on it. Salah's return from international duty was great to see too, but what really impressed me was how the whole squad came together to secure a comfortable win.

I'm not sure I agree with the manager praising Mohamed Salah so much . I mean, he came back from his national team break just in time for this match and was only able to play 90 minutes after one day of training - that's a pretty tough schedule . And what about all the other players who are injured or not selected? Don't they deserve some praise too?

I think the real hero of this match is Joe Gomez, though . He's been through so much with injuries and was even benched sometimes when he was fit. For him to shine like that in such a big game is really impressive . Maybe we should be focusing on his performance instead of just Salah's?

salah's fitness levels r insane lol he trains for like an hour every day and still manages to score 2 goals in a match u dont see many players who can pull off that kinda stuff, especially after being away from the club for months... meanwhile gomez gets the nod despite having injury issues all last season & now he's suddenly good enough to play 90 mins without any problems wut does that say about lfc's recruitment process

I'm not buying into this "athletes are superhuman" nonsense . I mean, come on, you're playing football for a month straight without touching a ball? That's just not normal, even for top players like Salah. And Gomez getting picked despite his injury history? That's just luck, not skill... or so it seems.

And let's be real, the only reason Liverpool won 3-0 is because Marseille didn't score a single goal (other than Traoré's miss, but who counts that?). It's like they were handed a free win on a silver platter. Don't get me wrong, Slot and co did adapt well to the conditions, but let's not forget that this was a one-sided game.

And what about all the injuries we hear about in football? Is it really possible for players to come back from a month away with barely any training and still perform like champs? I think not...

Wow Salah is like a machine man! He just comes back from international duty and still puts in a solid 90 minutes for the team. And Gomez, what a redemption story he's been through so much with injuries but shows up and dominates tonight . The fact that they controlled possession against Marseille but didn't create as many scoring chances as they did against Burnley is interesting... maybe they were just more focused on shutting down their opponents?
