I couldn't care less about our situation re: Salah, but for Roma whom I have a weird relationship with, I feel bitter. I think with him somehow in the squad this season, they'd actually win Serie A. They won't this season, or any season soon, I'm positive. But his output would simply propel them. They already have the statistically best defence; add that pace and a goal-every-2-or-3-games Salah was bringing, and easily, they carry themselves longer than Napoli can. 

Monchi is a brilliant man, brilliant at his job, but that was a blunder; trying to replace him with Schick & Defrel. Regardless of Liverpool or any other team calling, I wonder if there's a slither of a chance, that he would've stayed should Roma double his salary. When he brings as much as he brought to them, he'd have been worth it. Serie A can't cope with his type of profile.

As for him over here; since he left, we rapidly became a league in which pace wins, and strength comes as runner-up. Technique, team-play, tactics, they're all so far down the list. Salah only thrives here because the quality has dropped drastically. For us and our CL aspirations (I hope?), never in a million years would I want Salah lining up vs. Bayern, Juventus, either Madrid team. We made the right move, he made the right move, and there should only be love between both sides. He has nothing to prove to anyone; he's already shown Mourinho that his opinion is irrelevant. Now he's in his own; and he's a Liverpool-level player. Well done. To a degree.

VAR is shitting on the beauty and drama of football, regardless how many decisions are technically correct once consulting with it (this one in the Roma game, was definitely wrong IMO.)

Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos broke record with 19th red card in La Liga. Good player, but average defender.
