Last week Mohamed Salah was voted the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year. He has missed out on the award in years gone by when perhaps he should have won it. It’s swings and roundabouts really. This year he has maybe been slightly less prosperous with his goals than in other years, but he’s still been brilliant.
I think Sadio Mane has been brilliant as well to be quite honest and who knows, if we had got Luis Diaz at the start of the season, he might have been in with a shot as well.
Pep Guardiola’s comments about Salah winning the award ahead of Kevin De Bruyne were stupid. Absolutely idiotic. It’s something that Klopp wouldn’t do and that’s where you can see the class of Jurgen. He would pat him on the back and say ‘Kevin De Bruyne, brilliant. Enjoy.’ You don’t come out with comments like Pep did. You don’t benefit from it. It’s idiotic from such a good coach.
