It was evident that Liverpool’s lineup on the pitch aimed to show support for their No.9 after his opening goal against Aston Villa on Saturday, with Mo Salah in particular seeming eager to ensure his teammate received the recognition he deserved, as shown in footage shared on TNT Sports.
Meanwhile, injuries have deprived the Dutch head coach of key players like Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, and now Trent Alexander-Arnold, affecting the squad’s full strength.
Nevertheless, with players like Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Curtis Jones, and Caoimhin Kelleher still available, Slot likely feels satisfied with the options he has.
After Darwin Nunez’s goal, Salah began motioning for his Liverpool teammates to join the celebration before noticing that Virgil van Dijk and others were already heading over.
It’s heartening to see Nunez’s teammates consciously working to lift his spirits on the field.
