“The club did everything they felt they possibly could to get a deal but it wasn’t to be.”
That’s Brendan Rodgers in January 2014, the then Liverpool manager disappointed because he couldn’t get his man: Mo Salah had gone to Stamford Bridge.
It’s a great what-if. If Salah joins then, does he help Liverpool get over the line that season? Or did he need that stumbling period at Chelsea, followed by the resurgence in Italy? Anywho, it’s worked out pretty nicely.
There’s plenty to read on Liverpool’s season, their first under Arne Slot. He’s slotted in (allow it) seamlessly.
Preamble
Hello and welcome to the morning after. This victory parade is going to be a long one – we’ve still got a month of the Premier League season to go, with Crystal Palace visiting Anfield on 25 May. Plenty of time if you want to get yourself over to Liverpool for a knees-up.
Keep me company as the reaction continues, this being a very different title win to the one five years ago in the pandemic; this time, Liverpool had their fans with them, some genuine soul to go with history.
