F**k, just seen the clip of everyone consoling Nunez as he walks back from missing the penalty, except Mo who looks absolutely pissed off he missed and distraught!!
With 44 goal involvements in our 69 league goals, it's been Salah FC. He has been carrying the load for the attack throughout this incredible season of his and must feel frustrated at times when he sees the contribution (or lack of) of those in the team. Of the other fowards only Diaz when he is at it is of a level worthy of his own.
Salah has rubber stamped himself as our greatest ever player this season, surpassing Gerrard, for the simple reason that if we do go on to win the league no single player to my mind has ever been as responsible for making that happen in the history of English football.
Even the much vaunted Suarez season (when we didn't win), he had 31 goals 11 assists. Salah is on 27 goals 17 assists, and he has 9 games left, and is 32 years old, and didn't have excellent backup in Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho.
Without Salah this season, we at best are on circa 45 points and challenging for the remaining CL spots. What he has dragged out of himself this season has been extraordinary.
We are exceptionally lucky to have him.
