Salah is the key for me. Saka out months. I dont think we would survive without Mo, his goals, his assists and influence.
Virg obviously is the lynchpin at the back. Captain and leader. Need them both to stay fit and play every game.
You look at Virg and say, who can be as cool and composed and controlling in that backline as Virg? Not Quansha and I love Joe but can't trust his body.
Look at Mo and you think, who could at least do a job out there? ...u have Elliott, u have Chiesa, can swing Jota, Nunez, Lucho or Gakpo in there. Options I know that are no where near what Mo provides, I get that, but look at the differences in options we have, if God forbid, one of those 2 got injured.
EDIT: I'm going to wash my mouth out now aftyer typing that last sentence.
