Honestly I was a bit worry about how Liverpool would cope in the league in the absence of their playmaker Salah who was on AFCON duty in Ivory coast even without. Trent Alexander-Arnold, however I was amazed with Liverpool convincing win against Bournemouth in his absence the likes of Nunez, Diogo Jota, Gakpo all performanced brilliantly well without those key players with the win I strongly believe Liverpool would give Man City a run for their money as far the title contenders is concerned, though Arsenal had been very inconsistent so far in the league, however I believe the team would make things difficult for both Liverpool and Man City title bids.
Their Liverpool squad can still play very well even though they play without M. Salah because Klopp is used to these conditions. Because this is not the only time Salah has been absent, but he has also sometimes been absent due to minor injuries. And Klopp is used to it and can still make good strategies without having to include M. Salah. And yes, this proves the quality of Klopp as a very qualified and very competent coach.
In the match against Bournemouth, we could see that Liverpool's quality did not appear to have decreased at all. And in fact they can be more productive in that match.
The fact that Mohammed Salah has been the Liverpool's best player of over the last five years is the reason why I think it's normal for pepperoni think that his absence is actually gonna affect the performance of the team. The Egypt captain is currently on international duties with his country at the ongoing CAF African Cup Of Nations. However, we must not forget that Liverpool is one club that's made up of so many attacking talents that are very capable of destroying any team's defense even in the absence of Mohammed Salah and yesterday, their two forward players delivered incredible performance to make sure Liverpool extends their lead at the top of the league to five points. Though second placed Manchester City still have a game at hand as they've played one game less than Liverpool, I'm still very optimistic that Jurgen Klopp's men are capable of winning the English Premier League title at the end of the season.
Jurgen Klopp is a great coach who understands his team players and knows how to rotate his team when necessary and I believe that Liverpool are still gonna deliver impressive performances even in the absence of Mohammed Salah. The English Premier League title race keeps getting interesting and entertaining as we draw nearer to the end of the season
