Then you must think Souness is also wrong for calling him very selfish, he has a reputation, he hardly ever passes the ball in front of goal and he never hits the ball hard which makes it much easier to save or block.
Sky Sports is just a load old guys trying to stir sh*t in order to make good T.V. (or what they consider to be good TV). One moment they are praising a player and the next they are describing him as being absolute dog's sh*t. There is never any balance in their comments and that's because people want some fiery sh*t to be said for them to ride the wave just like what is happening right now.
Souness can shut up for all I care. Point us in the direction of another 30M$ 30 goals a season winger (which means not Sancho or Mbappe) and we'll surely buy him Graeme, but of course, he wouldn't do that because he can't because he just talks sh*t, just like the rest of their pannel.
I also wouldn't venture into criticizing how a 2-times golden boot winner strikes the ball (one that is in contention for this year's golden boot too. Some bad days, some good days. Sometimes it's just not going in.
People don't understand that if he had just a bit more finishing we'd be talking Messi/Ronaldo numbers because even when he does not score like today he is constantly the guy that positions himself the best out of the 22 men on the pitch. Once again today you remember to criticize him because of what? The fact that he put himself in those positions to have a go and actually be criticized.
I am not going to go on and analyze the whole game, its there for everybody to go watch it with a cool head, but just off the top of my head, the 2nd best chance we had all game after his 1st half right-footed shot that was miraculously saved by Pope was another one of his production when he put Firmino in a position to finish the game, but unlucky enough for us it hit the post.
Mane threw a tantrum and since then after every bad result, people come out of the woodwork to explain to us how it's all Salah's fault, how he is selfish, and how we should sell him despite every number pointing in the opposite direction. I mean I am not even going to pull the goal involvement numbers and the assist numbers again, at this point it's ridiculous.
