Reds have the Mo-mentum

MO SALAH was the outstanding choice for the PFA Player Of The Year award.

The sheer variety of goals he has scored in his debut season playing for a club where expectation levels are huge has been phenomenal.

Big things will be expected of the Egyptian (below) against his former side Roma in the Champions League semi-final first leg tonight and, while some Liverpool fans might fear his old teammates will know his game inside out, that’s not something that worries me. Whenever I played against teams I’d once represented, I wanted to roll up my sleeves and show them exactly what they were missing.

You saw the tweet saying ‘We’ll welcome him back’ – but the Roma fans will find themselves in an odd position.

They will want to boo a player who is on fire but the beauty for Liverpool is that they won’t because he used to play for them.

So that will fall into Liverpool’s hands and, as I said when the draw was announced, I fancy my old club to go through to face Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final.
