Liverpool are actually not playing that well. It’s understandable. A completely new midfielder. Bobby gone. Finding anyone fit to play LB. If things properly click one of these weeks, they’ll give a team a proper trimming.
Salah wont miss much. Liverpool don’t have another league match for nearly 3 weeks now until they travel to Bournemouth on 21 January. Think that’s possibly the only League match they have in the month of January. They had 6 days to rest up for tonight since playing Burnley on Boxing Day, while the likes of Spurs had only 3 days between their two matches.
Establishment sides like Liverpool really do benefit from soft scheduling.
