WE HAVE MO-JOE BACK
JOE GOMEZ claims Liverpool’s demolition of Red Star Belgrade shows they are back to their devastating best. The Reds recorded their best win since the opening game of the season and front three Mohamed Salah, Roberto
Firmino and Sadio
Mane all scored in the same game for the first time since last term. Jurgen Klopp’s men had managed just three goals in their previous five games but Gomez claims they are now back firing on all cylinders. “The one and two-touch football in behind, that’s probably what we’re known for,” said the England defender. “Our front players are so good at creating those opportunities and space on the ball.
“It’s nice to see us playing fluid football.
“We’ve got so many talented players on the ball and, if you give them the chance to play, things will happen.” Gomez (left) praised Salah for the double against Red Star that took him to 50 goals for Liverpool in just 65 games.
“That’s unbelievable,” he said. “Mo’s a special player. He’s relentless in his pursuit of goals and that’s what makes him a top player. Hopefully he can continue.”
