Salah has not been in great form but he is still their best attacking threat. Unfortunately, the Dippers have an easy run of fixtures so if he is out for a short length of time they should still be able to cope.

It’s the so called easy fixtures they struggle in

They did last season, I hope I am wrong but I can't see either Cardiff or Huddersfield troubling the Dippers

Ramos broke him, not been the same since.

As I said in a previous post, L'pool have more margin, scope and potential for improvement than we have if/when one or two of their front 3 recover last season's form.

The assumption there though, is that last season is the 'norm' for those players and they weren't playing above themselves.
Maybe their form this season is their norm?

Which would imply they only have room to worsen

He wasn't the same before either, so maybe last season was the exception not the rule.

No we are 2 points worse off than last year which isn't a big difference, the biggest difference is the gap between the top 3.

We were 2 points ahead of 2nd placed Utd and 5 head of 3rd placed Spurs. This year we are level on points with 3rd place and 2 points in front of 5th place. We can't argue that it's looking far closer so far but it is far too early to draw conclusions about how close it will stay this season in my opinion.

He said we were better off than last season in like for like games. And we are.

Absolute horse cock as it was first time around and as about 15 posters have told you.

Think KDB will get time against Burnley and
we'll be stronger with him no doubt.
But don't think his impact on our results will be that significant.

Their two big midfield signings haven't played much yet and they've also been weakened by injuries to key players, e.g O.Chamberlain.and Lallana.
With Chelsea going well too and Arsenal and Spurs not too far behind, tell me this: Do you think we'll finish in May around 20/30 points ahead of all of them?

What makes you think last year was Salah's regular form? Nobody had ever seen him play (or even imagined he could) at that level. This feels like a reversion to the norm. Mane and Firmino are pretty good, but I would take Sterling and Sane every day of the week.
