What Mohamed Salah is doing for Liverpool season in and season out is ridiculous, it's mindblowing.

When he came to the club I don't think anyone thought that he would even be close to a guy that would score 25 goals a season or 20 goals a season. The consistency he has shown is incredible.

If we are not linking him to the Ballon d'Or then it is getting out of hand. We have to start putting him in that conversation. He has not even been in the top three vote yet.

More from Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It would be weird if we were unhappy at the moment because to win at the Etihad, against a team that are so good with the ball, and to come away with a 2-0 win that is something to be happy about.

"Wednesday we conceded a set-piece and we all share the responsibility. If it is positive it is nice to mention his name but if we don't score from one then maybe people point at him.

"You have to add to that that we have played one game more than our competitors. We are in a very good position but we know how hard we had to work against Wolves. In a normal league - I mean outside of the UK - that lead is good. Here, in the past four or five years it has always been really tight until the end because so many teams can beat others. West Ham beat Arsenal, who would have thought that, and then we have to play Newcastle who were a very difficult opponent for us. We are not getting carried away but we are very happy with the win today.

"I hope we will hear the fans a lot again on Wednesday. That always do that so we expect the same on Wednesday again. The fans can dream and sing whatever they want but we know how much effort we have to put in to win here, draw at Villa and win against Wolves. We know what we have to put in to each game."

Here's a reminder of Liverpool's title run-in, with 11 games to go.

By my (admittedly quick) calculations, I make it that they dropped eight points from the reverse fixtures against the teams they still have left to face.

The gap would, of course, be eight points if Arsenal can win their game in hand.

• 26 February: Newcastle (H)
• 8 March: Southampton (H)
• 2 April: Everton (H)
• 5 April: Fulham (A)
• 12 April: West Ham (H)
• 19 April: Leicester (A)
• 26 April: Tottenham (H)
• 3 May: Chelsea (A)
• 10 May: Arsenal (H)
• 18 May: Brighton (A)
• 25 May: Crystal Palace (H)

If you are going to be successful at any club you do need that world class player. You can have brilliant players around you but you need that one player who is almost ahead of everyone else, the one that pushes you over the line and make the difference in tight games. Mo Salah does that week in and week out.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Always with me, the amount of times we arrived in the box the next moment we missed the next action. Our pressing was good. We just missed that in the last moment to do something, that was the performance we know. Against that team, we were really good in many things.

"It was a good set-piece. I don't know if I defend better and sometimes it is not easy if it is a plan. We have the chances and it was the little details that could have gone differently. The wingers were brilliant and in that moment we need to bring the next step. That is what we missed.

"I don't know what would have happened if everyone was here. I don't know if Liverpool would be able to win the Premier League. They are a fantastic team and they are similar in details. They have had no injuries and that is why they could be a stable team and we could not do it. And it is what it is. You cannot achieve what you want all the time. I know how difficult it will be to qualify for the Champions League. I am really pleased with how we have behaved against Newcastle and today.

"I don't want to say if we had Erling Haaland we would have won because that is unfair on the players who played today and gave everything. Of course, with Erling we are a better team. With Rodri we are a better team. With John Stones and Akanji we are a better team and for many reasons with other players we are a better team."

What stands out to me about Arne Slot is that he is very measured. He doesn't get too high or too low, and I have been told by the players that he is very honest. As a player you respect someone who says it like it is

He is very clear. He doesn't seem like he tries to play any games with the press or anything like that. He is just being honest and it shows with his players in how they want to work for him every single week.

Liverpool

More from Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to BBC Match of the Day about Dominik Szoboszlai: "Yes a good performance but what I like most from him was that he assisted and scored a goal. I always praise him for the incredible work rate he brings to the team, and that is what he had today too, but he added a goal and an assist. For a number ten that wears a Liverpool shirt that is neccessary. Even not scoring he has a lot to give to this team.

On Newcastle: "Expecting a lot. I heard our fans today all of the time. They know it is going to be our fifth game in 15 days so it is always helpful if you play at home and they are behind you. If the players do feel in some moments that they are exhausted then the fans should help us.

"We also know from a few months ago how difficult they are to play against. It was 2-0 down to 2-2 then 3-2 up and then it ended 3-3."

Liverpool boss Arne Slot to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a very good win, a very difficult win. We had to defend a lot, we had to suffer a lot, they love ball possession.

"Especially in the second half I liked the way that we defended, even more so than in the first half, because in the first I felt constantly like they could score but we controlled it much better in the second."

On controlling and containing City: "It felt like in the first half they were close to scoring, they did score one which was offside. I did not feel that we had the control over their attacks, in the second half I did much more.

"We've played many of these games with having so much ball possession and every team finds one, two or three chances for a counter attack and that is what we did today. "

On if he's containing excitement: "I am mostly happy because we won at the Etihad, and that is not something that happens a lot. It was my first time here but not many managers or teams win here, so we should be happy for that.

"It was only a week ago that it was a tough win against Wolves, so I know all 11 games left are difficult for different reasons. A lot of challenges ahead of us but it is a good position to be in."

Paul: The Liverpool owners are stupid if they let Salah leave. Yeh they’ve got a solid team who would probably challenge anyway but he’s the one who often makes a difference. Guy is the best player in the league. Should be giving him what he wants to stay!

This is going to end up being the greatest season we have ever seen from an individual for Mo Salah, I've no doubts about that.

It is not whether he finishes above those players [former great strikers] in terms of numbers but it is a question of how far. Maybe he sets the bar so high that in the future no one can ever get there again.

We've seen him be exceptional for seven or eight seasons but this year we are seeing something special. This is an all timer season.

What might have helped Mohamed Salah is that his contract is up. You are playing for a better deal, whether that is here or going abroad. Sometimes that can give you a bit of extra motivation.

Some people say it is a distraction but he has used the situation really well. For some it would hurt their pride or ego but he has used it almost to motivate him a bit more.

For Liverpool, it is Mohamed Salah who continues to steal the headlines.

His Anfield future might be uncertain, but it is not affecting the Egypt winger in the slightest.

I listed some of his record-breaking stats earlier. All very impressive, not least matching Lionel Messi by becoming the first player to score and assist in 11 different matches in a single season in one of Europe's big five leagues since the Argentine did so for Barcelona in 2014-15.

A brilliant performance from Liverpool, one that brings familiarity from what a title winning big away win is like.

Tough to beat and compact in defence, and ruthless in attack. They still have some work to do but they have put themselves in an incredible position.

City could just not break down Liverpool. I don't know what's happened to them.

Pep Guardiola was keen to point towards the future in his post-match interviews.

The average age of Manchester City’s starting XI in this game was 25 years and 68 days - their joint-youngest in a Premier League match under Pep Guardiola (also 25 years and 68 days against Watford in July 2020).

New signings Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush in particular had encouraging games today as Guardiola looks to set his side up to come back stronger next season.
