We have seen him for years in Italy. This Salah is closer to his average level than the player viewed last year. Liverpool are an average side who needs to always play in sixth gear to get results.

Bah, no.
He definitely did... Was simply amazing and should have scored at least a couple more.
Meunier's assist 
2 goals in the second half, also hit the post after 2 runs (all in the second half), but he was equally good in the first half (no shots, no assists).
I saw like 20 minutes of the second half and he was ripping them apart. He had a goal and hit two times the posts.
He had a second goal at the end as well.
Basically yeah.
Just incase anyone forgets Man Utd have the most points the CL of all the English teams so far in the CL.
I'll grab my coat.

He'd somehow be offside anywaysI swear I thought the same
Klopp always sounds like he's trying to squeeze in one word too many in a sentence and always seems to be running out of breath.
We're the only unbeaten English side left in the CL...
It's coming home
It's coming home
Any cl highlights shows on UK tv?
And if he isn't he'd hit it straight at the keeperHe'd somehow be offside anyways
Manchester United are the only unbeaten English side in the Champions League this season.
“Phenomenal”.

PSG played some sexy football today. The build up to the Mbappe goal was even better.Meunier's assist
Napoli looked exactly how Inter looked against Tottenham... absolute cack yet grinded results against English sides you'd think would be far superior but who both inexplicably performed even more cack.
Were these just freak matches or is this some kind of incredibly effective Italian style of suffocation?

Yeah, true, I'll still drink.
Does anyone know why napolis whole lower section of the stadium virtually empty
Shaqiri farted.
Koulibaly is the defender for us.
What? Napoli looked great tonight, a lot better than Inter vs Spurs.
Suarez is such a clever player. twice he beat the spurs defence with a body feint and leaving it to Messi, and two goals came from it
One season wonder?
Wtf
Napoli looked very goodNice. I'll be keeping an eye on him. He looked very sharp.
Psv was really unlucky tonight. Lost 1-2 after being 1-0 up by a beautiful goal from Rosario.
Inter goalkeeper should have gotten red for a handball outside the penalty box, for the first inter goal Icardi was slightly offside and psv also hit the post and the inter goalkeeper (who shouldnt even have been on the pitch anymore) made a really good save on Malen his overhead kick.
Both Inter goals were also mistakes from the Psv goalkeeper...
Spurs or Psv to decide who will end third place.

One of his best away CL performances, two goals and with two finishes on the post and continuously opened up Spurs with throughballs. More than anything that I saw him do today which he rarely does is running more than usual. He was pressing and harassing players all game, it's that fire I have been looking for instead of coasting through the game. Great performance.
well the liverpool seen in the last season and at the start of this one is no average side by any stretch of the imagination. In Italy salah has had 2 very good seasons, not at the same level as the last one of course but still quite good as shown by his pre-neymar price tag of 50 million which was not low. It is true that he did not have the same scoring consistency he has enjoyed at Liverpool but still...tonight he did nothing, could not hold a ball....shocking performance
All of that is true
But also, Inter dominated most of the game and created enough clear cut chances to score 5 or 6 goals. They were the better team, replay that game 10 times and inter have iced the game in the first half alone at least 7 times. The first half was was basically a shooting practice for them

Salah played this season so far like the player I thought Liverpool were buying last season.
I thought he was a speed merchant who would chip in with 8-10 goals a season. What he did last season was freakish really and as a United fan I obviously hope it was an outlier season.

Messi was majestic tonight, he was playing on a different level to everybody else. Also Suarez's awareness of where Messi will be is crazy, the last goal was something else.
It's sad to see a historic club like Red Star be so out of their depth now at this level.
Good signing. He has to risk more and pass forward more often
I agree that he needs to take more risk, but I think that will come with time.
His composure on the ball is invaluable though. Spurs pressed us hard and it didn’t faze Arthur at all. This is something we’ve lacked badly in the past few years.
Nice find for Barca. How much did they pay for him?
Certainly a more sensible purchase than dropping 270-280 million Euros on 2 players who are competing for one spot (Coutinho, Dembele)

Crazy to think United are the best performing English team in the CL hahaha goes to show how things are different in Europe and how much more formidable leagues like Serie A and La Liga are than Brits give them credit for.
