I think it's quite telling in that clip that Slot said "Florian has managed to find Salah many times". Not since Coutinho have we had a "creator" in midfield. Our central midfielders have always been more of a destroyer role under Klopp and the creation was left to the wings, eg a False 9 Firmino, Salah, Diaz or Trent with his long balls. I think it is promising we finally have someone who could find the space and break the lines in the final 3rd and tread balls through although he hadn't completely found his groove yet. This might be truly Slot ball and I feel it will add a new dimension to our play. We saw flashes of the Wirtz / Isak combination and it will be spectacular when they start getting into it.

Except he wasn't a very good one for Liverpool.
He had the occasional good highlights reel which failed to show all the poor stuff he did in a game but mostly he contributed little
and doesn't deserve the reverence that he gets from some. He is like a previous incarnation of Chiesa,
Some people cite the semi final second leg against Barca as if he was the hero of the night. They rightly remember his peach of a cross for Gini to head the equalizer but forget that he was shit for the rest of the game.
That encapsulates for me his time at Liverpool and I say that as someone who was originally cautious about his preceding reputation but was won over by his attitude while at Liverpool.
A decent player but not Liverpool standard by the time he got here.

Not camp enough and needs a robe.

"I agree, I don't see him as any kind of hero. He had his moments, though: the goals against Man U, the cross for Gini, the pass to Jota, a few free kicks. But unfortunately, what I mostly remember is that he was injured all the time."

I rarely disagree with you, but I do about some of the above. He hardly ever got a run in the side so, respectfully, references to his mostly contributing little are a bit puzzling. I agree his time with us wouldn't deserve "reverence" but then I don't think anyone's actually given him that. Saying that at times he deserved more of a chance (and obv.there's room for two views about that) is rather different.

While I agree with you that he didn't play as much as anticipated which of course affected his overall contributions, I'm inclined to think he didn't get those chances because he wasn't doing enough in his match day performances to merit them.
While Klopp wasn't faultless in his selections and could be overly loyal to some in my opinion, there was usually logic and merit in pretty much all of them.
But yea, all just opinions.
It just fascinates me when some people can be so forgiving of some players while being so scathing of other players who are mostly well regarded.
I am not accusing you of that by the way though maybe we are all like that a little.
