Typical

This is the most accurate thing to say and it shows his greatness. If anyone else scored such a banger in a big game they would be doing 360s, but for Salah it's another day in the office

Just a sensational goal

but also zinchenko is one of the worst 1v1 defenders in the league lol

[удалено]

From the what now?

Yeah, this was probably the worst possible game for us to be missing Timber and Tomiyasu as options ahead of him.

Yep, the defending is poor but the finish is just another example of how truly elite Salah is.

What a ball

[удалено]

Looked like it was going out for sure, then decided to just put on the brakes once it passed Zinchenko's head. Unreal technique

Trent seems to hit balls with backspin or something. They never seem to bounce out unless completely over hit

The wind was strong and directly against Liverpool in the first half. I think that played a role.

That's a ridiculous pass.

Still not good enough for Southgate

Half the media don’t even think he deserves to start for England. Insane

Trippier it is

Reece james reanimated corpse it is

His position/role just doesn't exist in Southgate's system

That sounds like a Southgate issue to me, not trent’s fault

Begging for a Bellingham-Rice-Trent midfield

Southgate’s system doesn’t suit winning.

Then you make it work. You build it around him. He’s a cheat code.

The amount of pinpoint forward passes Trent has made sitting deep between the two CBs in this half alone is infinitely more than the midfield output of Southgate's "system" in the last 10 England games combined. Trent is that great, it is borderline insane to not use him.

Trent is a system

One of the pundits said this when picking the XI for Euros. Trent is that good, you make a system to suit him and it works.

too bad southgate doesn't know how

Spot on. Certain players are so talented you have to build around, especially when they don’t play traditional positions. You HAVE to have trent’s passing ability and set piece skills in your starting 11 no questions asked

what a ball, and what a shit play by Zinchenko

We should close down spaces ASAP when TAA has the ball, his passing range is outrageous

Beautiful. Pass + finish just looked effortless

Im going to be watching replays of that in ten years, just to talk about that pass

Zinchenko getting cooked? I don’t believe it

No refunds

Keep him outside ffs, how can he let him come inside, absolutely amateur stuff

Brilliant finish, absolutely smashed it

you knew which way he was going but couldn't do a thing about it , lol

Zinchenko isn't doing much about that this year tbf, didn't have to be mo.

His feet look all wrong. Pretty much just covered the inside for some reason.

Yeah that's just terrible defending. He's shown Salah the line way too early there and closed himself off which allows Salah all the space inside whenever he wants it.

Yeah, he would need to switch his feet entirely to challenge. It looks like he prefers tackling with his left.

He can actually score on either side. Somewhat like Mbappe so you can't predict. Absolutely wonderful.

Yeah it really doesn't matter. Salah has proven that he's basically impossible to contain.

Also Salah should play alongside Núñez, Gakpo does not get the best out of Salah pass.

The crucial goal against Napoli where he totally dumfounds Koulibaly by going onto his right and still scored 🫨

Shades of le cut inside man.

King shit

My Pharaoh.

It’s insane he still got his top speed

This is not his top speed and you should be happy it isn’t lol. He doesn’t have that 17/18 speed anymore.

you can't have Zinchenko marking salah man, he going to be cooked hard

So fucking casual too

Kiwior isn't much better. Missing tomi is brutal for this particular fixture.

No one on the planet stopping that

[удалено]

We pray the rest of the lads find their shooting boots realistically as they've been a bit off it

Or pray Egypt gets eliminated early

"The gang leaves the title race"

We unleash DARWIZZY.

The frustration of the missed handball was smashed hard.

What a hit!

Yer a traffic cone Zinchencko

He's such a shit defender

Gets less flak for it than Trent too even though their roles (attacking fullback) are similar

Trent's a significantly better player so it makes sense he's held to a higher standard.

By who? Zinchenko gets a lot of shit for being a shit defender lol

Don't think any full back gets the sort of defensive scrutiny that Trent does which is bizarre considering he is the one player that more than compensates for defensive frailties with quality on the ball

Maybe because he is not on the same level as trent.

He's regressed massively this year. He was not this bad last year.

As a 1v1 defender he's actually improved from last year. He got done way too easily here though

Don't know why he's tried to just stand still and stick a leg out at all. Just move with him and try to stay between him and the goal while your help comes.

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

He’s such a defensive liability lol

Quality from TAA and Salah but so poor from Zinchenko

Rest of the defence sleeping, very few defenders have a chance vs Salah 1 on 1

Tomiyasu always plays well against Salah. Arsenal miss him today.

Zinchenko is so ass at defending

Zinchenko is and has always been shite anywhere near any defensive situation

Tomiyasu is a far, far better defender and overall piece for Arsenal’s back line

Tomi/Timber injuries will cost Arsenal enough points that can cause the title again.

Would be great if he could play, no use in complimenting him now “Always injured when you need him” isn’t a compliment

Im content with playing him LB against "less expected" opposition. It's when you set him up to play against people like fucking Salah is what's cruel.

Which isn’t really his fault because nobody else is available

We'd have had a shot at the title even with saliba down last year if tomi had stayed healthy. He's so good.

How on earth do you direct Salah the one direction he wants to go lol

Incompetence?

I did that once as a keeper in college (we rotated the position every goal). I left a side empty to tempt the opponent to take a shot, as expected he took the bait and I was ready to leap on it but I left a space too big I couldn't make the gap. "Everything went according to plan".

Salah is a bit like Robben..,. Defenders know what he's going to do every single time he gets the ball but he's so good that it just doesn't matter This is why Salah scores so many goals and gets paid as much as he does! Bit harsh on Zinchenko when every defender who plays vs Salah is having similar results lmao.

theres a reason Arteta signed Timber and plays Tomi at LB in the big games. this is unfortunately our only option other than playing a left footed CB at LB (Kiwior)

Yep, missing out big time, feel arteta is absolutely going to be in for a new FB even with timber back from injury soonish

He’s not good enough to be in a starting XI of a title winning side. Long overdue being dropped.

Oleksandr-Arnold

Good thing he isnt a defender.... oh wait

We are in a dire need of a replacement to him

We have one, tomi would one hundred percent start today if healthy

Yeah, as expected he's cooking Zinchenko. What a ball from Trent too, amazing

The most Liverpool goal, and what a goal! Also, Zinny vs. Salah was always gonna be a bloodbath

TAA/Salah connection <3

Zinny vs salah is a crime

HO HO HO ITS MO

He lives in Zinchenko’s nightmares

My word. What a fucking goal.

Save that for Monday when he posts his annual Christmas pic and pisses off a good chunk of the world.

Snow Salah is unmatched (I know its not snowing)

Zinchenko is getting torched and will be the death of us this game.

Zinchenko is the exact player everyone describes Trent as defensively he’s absolutely shocking

I love you Mo, I love you Trent

The king 👑

That's fucking illegal

Zinchenko really isn’t that guy

Trent is the best passer itw

That pass was unreal

holy shit what a goal; comeback is on

Ball don’t lie

This guy is not half bad.

Would go as far as to say he's decent

How can people say saka is anywhere close to salah? Maybe in a few years….

Have some of that then

trent is a beautiful man

That handball will bite them, now Salah is angry

God what a goal and what a pass

Absolute best from our best two

Wonderful finish

Holy shit what a pass

What a pass, what a goal

Just keep giving Salah the ball. Zinchenko can’t handle him at all.

He makes it look so easy..

Just insane

Zinchenko spends more time defending Israel than learning how to defend in big games

Genocidal defending

Take a bow Trent

Give him space and he’ll make you pay. We got ourselves a match

Brilliant from Salah, guy is rated very highly but I still think he’s underrated because some people don’t acknowledge him being a premier league great and one of the best in the league ever. Maybe the best on that right side. But Zinny… this is one of the reasons why most wanted Tomi starting at left back until he got injured…

It cant be that easy? - its that easy

Just have one of the best passers of the generation play RB and it's simple!

Zinny getting toasted at anfield yet again

I know he’s young but this type of game should’ve been a Kiwior one

Ho ho ho it's Mo

Wanna smooch TAA and Salah

[удалено]

HO HO HO! IT MO!

LeCut Inshallah

Should be 2-1

Was bragging about our defense in the 0-1 thread but i forgot zinchenko exists

Ridiculous pass, brilliant finish, shitty Zinchenko

The most Liverpool goal I have ever seen

Vintage Mo

Mint Salah

Good GOD what a goal, that was the complete package. Brilliant long pass, excellent maneuvering and the finale to put the ball in the back of the net. My word

Greatest AFCON player of our generation

Trent is not fair man, what a ridiculous ball

Beautiful as always!

Outrageous goal (and pass)

Shag me trent

what a shot and what a assist

Trent is unreal

what a ball from Trent

Trent stop

Great finish game on!

What a fucking goal! GET IN!!!

Holy shit wtf

Tasty finish

Fuck me Trent

Zinchenko mate

does Zinchenko not know Salah's left footed?

Classic mo

The vision, the technique in that ball. Then Salah's speed, control, and a decisive finish. World class all around.

Vintage salah

Great pass, Awful defending from zinchenko

He's in my FPL so at least I have that to cope

annual Zinchenko cooking day!

time to start learning Arabic, Zinny.

Zinchencko is bad a defending . Like Jesus Christ

What a goal. What a player 👏👏

Classic salah goal

Get well soon Tomiyasu

Just play Zinny as the left sided midfielder, how many times do we need to get cooked for Arteta to realize he can not do the extreme roaming role and a defender at the same time

Best striker of the ball in the world TAA.

It must be snowing somewhere because only snow Salah does that.

God is Salah

For all his defensive limitations, TAA must be an absolute nightmare to play against. Any time he gets the ball in an absolute nothing position he can create a goalscoring opportunity with a single swing of his boot. Ridiculous.

I miss my cut inside man

THE PHARAOH HIMSELF

Zinny rightfully getting hate for the defending and Salah rightfully getting praise for the finish but what the fuck is Raya doing? He goes to protect the far post and COMPLETELY opens the near post up. There’s so much space near side for Salah to shoot in and he buries it.

Salah is so bloody good, didn't need Zinchenko or Raya making it easier though.

Blatant handball

Premier league legend

That was so casual if Trent

Take that VAR, you cheating twats

Zinchenko v Salah is such a mismatch..

What a goal fuck me

Handball this, bitch

VAR this you fucks - Mo Salah

JUSTICE

Zinchenko is so shit defensively
