“Take two out, and it’s completely different” – Paul Merson speaks on Liverpool overdependence on Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane
“Take two out, and it’s completely different” – Paul Merson speaks on Liverpool overdependence on Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Liverpool Fc failed to score against Arsenal in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Thursday.
This was despite the Gunners having Granit Xhaka sent off in the first half for a last-man tackle on Diogo Jota.
Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale had a fairly comfortable game in goal at Anfield. The Reds’ front three of Jota, Roberto Firmino, and Takumi Minamino failed to muster any good attempt on target.
“It is half-time, it is 0-0 and we don’t feel this tie is over for us, so we will give it another proper try next Thursday.”
Both Salah and Mane are currently representing their respective nations in the AFCON. Merson believes their absence should worry their fans and stated the same after the Arsenal match.
“My biggest worry if I was a Liverpool fan? Salah and Mane. If they play tonight, it’s a different story. It just shows you. I watch other teams play.
“I watch Man City – you can take two players out of their team; you can take two out of Chelsea. Take two out of Liverpool, and it’s completely different,” Merson said.
With Liverpool recording a convincing 3-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday, one can disagree with Paul Merson.
