Liverpool 0-0 Nottm Forest

12: Szoboszlai gets past his man into the box with a lovely drop of the shoulder. That's lovely.
He then gives the ball away instantly with a square ball nowhere near a red shirt. That's not so good.
"Mohamed Salah doesn't seem the generate quite the same level of acclaim as other players. I suppose it is a compliment to him if his consistent brilliance is taken for granted.
"But today looks like another fixture ripe for him to shine. He has been directly involved in 17 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances at Anfield, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists, and has either scored or assisted in every one of those games.
"With a total of 84 goals and 32 assists in 115 home appearances for the Reds in the Premier League, he is in fact only four short of the goal involvement record held by Steven Gerrard, who got 69 goals and 51 assists in 120 games at Anfield.
"Incredible numbers; incredible player."
