Peter Phillips sits down with Dave Hendrick to provide a season so far review….<\/p>\n
It\u2019s impossible to look beyond Mighty Mo. Salah has come into the team and from day one he\u2019s just looked like he belongs. In pre-season he built a good understanding with Coutinho, and he\u2019s built them with Mane and Firmino during the season as well. When we get those four together for a run of games I think they\u2019ll terrorise the league, and I think Salah could realistically get 25-30 goals this season which is staggering for a wide forward in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
I think the Arsenal game. We were just on another level to them that day. We tore them apart and in truth, we could have had 7 or 8 and nobody could have claimed it wasn\u2019t a fair reflection.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d sell Ings in January because there\u2019s no place for him at the club. I\u2019d sell Flanagan at the same time for the same reason. Two honest pros but neither good enough for Liverpool, especially after the injuries. I\u2019d fire Lovren from a cannon into the North Sea just to be rid of him. And I\u2019d sell Danny Ward because he\u2019s our third choice, he needs to be playing and we might find a club who are desperate for a new keeper and might overpay for him. In terms of buying, we need that top end centre-back and the obvious choice is Van Dijk. I\u2019ve been driving his hype train since before he went to Celtic so at this point I\u2019m just desperate for us to get him. We need an upgrade at the 6, and Leander Dendoncker from Anderlecht would be perfect for that role. Great defensively, and excellent on the ball. Everything Henderson isn\u2019t. He\u2019s a perfect fit with Naby Keita as well, and signing him in January allows us to let Emre Can go and at least recoup some money before losing him on a free. I\u2019d also try and get either DeVrij from Lazio or Gimenez from Atletico Madrid signed to a pre-contract to join on a free next summer, and then maybe lowball their current clubs to get them over 6 months early.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019ve done better than people have made out. We\u2019re top of a difficult Champions League group, having knocked out a good team to make it into the group stages, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":7020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2205],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
