Liverpool have been completely dominant throughout Sunday’s 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Outdated Trafford.
A primary half brace from Luis Diaz and a elegant end from Mo Salah ensured Arne Slot’s facet returned to Merseyside with all three factors to proceed their flawless begin to the brand new Premier League marketing campaign.
The Reds are but to concede a purpose this time period and are trying sharp in all areas of the pitch.
Former Arsenal favorite Ian Wright was impressed by what he noticed from Liverpool on the weekend and defined how he felt the Anfield-based outfit focused United midfielder Casemiro in the midst of the park.
“Liverpool have been very managed,” the 60-year-old mentioned on Wrighty’s Home podcast (through Metro).
“[Ryan] Gravenberch has received to get plenty of credit score for that with the best way he performed and the defence seems to be very stable.
“Whether or not Mohamed Salah goes to depart or not on the finish of the season, it was very sincere as a result of clearly Liverpool haven’t approached him. Everyone knows that he’s going to have a queue of individuals.
“Going again to Arne Slot, he’s not attempting to behave cool. That’s how he’s, he is aware of he’s received an unimaginable bunch of gamers.”

Wright added: “We all know Trent [Alexander-Arnold], Mo and Virgil [Van Dijk] are coming to their final years. In the mean time, with the best way they’re enjoying, it doesn’t seem to be that’s going to trouble them an excessive amount of, that’s for the folks upstairs.
“On the identical time, the best way they’re enjoying, Manchester United and Liverpool, how intense that may be, how basketball-y it may be and the way basketball-y we’ve seen it in these video games the place Man United have come out on high, they regarded nowhere close to that occuring.
“The press from Liverpool was magnificent and it’s a must to really feel for Casemiro as a result of pretty much as good as he’s and pretty much as good as he was as a participant, Liverpool have been simply too good.
“I feel he was somebody that was focused, positively focused, but it surely’s that mid-press and that high-press. That was good from them.”
Salah’s feedback after the sport may have frightened Liverpool supporters. The truth is that the Egyptian has entered the ultimate 12 months of his present deal and no one from the membership has spoken to him about what is going to occur past subsequent summer time.
The 32-year-old continues to be performing on the highest stage and his contribution at Outdated Trafford on Sunday was game-changing.
It could make plenty of sense to supply our No.11 a brand new deal but it surely stays to be seen what FSG and Co. will resolve to do.
Gamers who’re the incorrect facet of 30, like Casemiro, can decline quickly and the Brazilian merely couldn’t comprise the power and starvation from the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Examples like that of Casemiro, who can also be 32 years of age, is the rationale why Liverpool’s hierarchy are hesitant to supply new offers to gamers over the age of 30. However Salah is a special breed.
He takes care of himself and is a job mannequin each on and off the pitch.
We’d like to see him pen a brand new deal however for now let’s simply proceed to get pleasure from watching him assist the facet as a lot as potential.
