Curtis Jones was man of the match, but really this was another game to show the genius of Mohamed Salah.
Gavin Cooney IT WAS EARLY during this sometimes sleepy Anfield afternoon that the Liverpool crowd cranked out an old favourite, telling Chelsea where to go while singing that they “have no history.”
Man of the match here was Curtis Jones, winning the penalty from which Mo Salah converted the opening goal before then knifing the ball in from close range for what proved to be the winner. This timeline is not a neat parable of profligacy. While Caicedo had a nightmare debut season at Chelsea and injury meant Lavia didn’t have one at all, today they looked like a solid platform on which Chelsea can park their lurid and myriad trophy attackers.
Jones was fluid where his team-mates were not. The more we learn about the differences between Klopp and Slot, the more it seems to be one of volume, in both senses of the word. On these primetime slots, Klopp’s side would crank up the noise and then keep it there, with waves of concussive attacks. Slot’s side are different: they don’t press with the same wild intensity and they pick more judiciously their moments to attack.
Salah’s evolution in recent seasons has been remarkable: he is still Liverpool’s main goalscorer but now he is their playmaker too. He was playing the Cole Palmer role before Cole Palmer.
