I have to wonder when he'll reach that "potential" some around here have gone about for years. As it stands, he should be trying to do that elsewhere next season.
I think the result had more to do with Liverpool not taking their chances tbh. Salah scores his PK or the rebound & it would probably have been a repeat of their last game.

The wage alone offered by both clubs was significantly different & that's without mentioning the sign on fees to multiple people, which you touched upon. They will do the same thing with Rudi & Mbappe (doubt anyone will even make a move).
The passage of play prior to winning our second PK was something that enabled him/Inter to do so well last season. Someone mentioned it previously, but our reluctancy to move the ball quickly in attack hampers his play/output drastically.
From what I've heard, it seems very similar to the Alaba situation; Bayern offered him quite a bit to renew, but RM blew it out of the water. If this happens to be the case, we ought to move on as @Pizy alluded to.
