Yes, but Mo has a fair few assists to his name and then there's the two or three defenders he pulls every game. I think he puts in a tremendous shift goals or no goals. And then Mane can be greedy enough at times too, as are most strikers, it has to be part of their mentality, else they won't succeede. If Mo could just get past that 50 goal barrier I think he'd be back knocking them in again. It was probably too much of a risk to give him Milners penalty last week, but it could have been the trigger he needed.

It was bad enough watching Milner take the penalty, I would have keeled over if it was Mo !!! Mo creates allot of worry for defences, they are putting extra players and focusing on him, which leaves more space for the likes of Mane, who has prospered with that. Mo has been abit selfish, but he's trying, it's better than hiding, he just needs one to bounce in off his shin, he's still one of the top scorers in the PL when playing badly, so not a bad position to be in!

I was relieved to see Milner taking the penalty, Salah never looks confident with penalties going in a huge circle before hitting the ball

Would have been interesting if Milner wasn't on the pitch, I'm guessing it would be Mo, bit I wouldn't be confident, I reckon VvD would take a decent penalty.

Salah has a good penalty record, but Milner's is better. Simple as.

No, because he always seems very composed, he is also supposed to be very good at free kicks (he took allot at Celtic), so sounds like he would make a good penalty taker. I'm just saying if Milner is not on the pitch who should be our next inline, so who would you have?

Firmino and Henderson have also scored a few.

He stopped taking them after hitting the post but he looks the most composed and full of tricks.
