I've never been a fan of playing Mo Salah up top with Firmino in behind him and this game is reminding me why.
He looks like he IS playing RW. Shaq I'm not sure, he seems to be all over the place but spending more time at RM.Salah needs to get back on the right wing. Or he should be the one playing in the AM role.
I don't like this 4-2-3-1, with him up top often wrestling CBs without success.
He also looks like he's lost half a yard of pace, and a bit of strength. Just looks lightweight.
Salah shouldn't be playing there, and doesn't stay central anyway, he's always drifting left. That leaves us with no focal point in attack.
Firmino in a withdrawn role should suit him, because he plays the striking role in a similar way, but the difference could just be that he's not playing well, and it isn't just about where he's playing - he's just been shite
We need a new striker. Like everyone has been saying anyway.
Actually Fabinho has been really good, Gini has been quiet but Shaq AWOL, he's playing a similar game to Firmino and we don't need two of them there. This then leaves us light in CM as neither Firmino nor Shaq are coming back deep enough to help out.Don't like our midfield. Haven't protected our back four enough and haven't supplied any service to our attack (apart from Fabinho's tackle for Shaq's chance)

Well Gini has done a disappearing act again, I'd get Milner on. More industry, more quality and generally more busy.
