We urge you to click on this Twitter thread by Liverpool fan Jay Pearson and check out the comments on the BBC Sport website when we signed Mo Salah…
They’re primarily from non-Reds, but it’s easy to forget how downright whingey so many Liverpool fans were before we started winning things!
The reaction to a big-money signing from Italy is almost universally poor.

Here’s some of the best ones..:
In his first season at Liverpool, Salah scored 44 goals and won both the writers’ and players’ Footballer of the Year award – making a mockery of all those who doubted him.
Since then, he’s backed up his debut season with another Premier League Golden Boot, which he combined with a Champions League trophy and this term – has helped the Reds lead the Premier League by 25 points at the point the season was suspended.
‘A flop of Andy Carroll proportions?’ We wouldn’t say so, Duncan!
