Mo Salah made a return to the pitch for Liverpool… and you’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?

  1. Amazed at the national publicity these injuries received as if Liverpool are the only club in the world with injuries.Villa have 3 out for a year (Mings,Buendia,Kamara) plus,ramsay was out for half a year,Torres just back after 3 months, Carlos Konsa,Duran,,DigneJust joined squad after 2 months,and various other 3//4 week injuries.Six regulars out and three just back in squad.Hardly a murmer.
