"This is Liverpool's best performance this season" - Jamie Carragher, the former defender of the team, could not say without watching the game.

Carragher was so impressed by Liverpool's performance that he called Jurgen Klopp's team potential champions, saying, "The way they are playing, they are potential champions." They have a great coach who knows what to do. And there are three-four world-class players in the team.

Nobody wants to play in front of this Liverpool, said Carragher, 'If they can continue to play like this, Manchester City will not want to play in front of this team either. Because they have lost to this team before.

Liverpool took 34 shots on Newcastle's goal in Monday's match. Which is a joint record in the Premier League. Klopp, the coach of the undefeated team in 22 consecutive matches at home, was also impressed by the team's performance, "My team played amazingly." Great match. Except for the goals that I scored, many things in this match have been as I thought.

Liverpool can only regret for Salah, the hero of the victory of this match. The Liverpool forward is going to play for Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations. Nations Cup final on February 11. If Salah reaches the finals of Egypt, Liverpool will not have Salah in 8 matches in league, FA Cup and Carabao Cup combined.

Salah has scored a maximum of 18 goals in all competitions for Liverpool this season. That Salah is eager to win something for the national team. "I want to win (the Africa Cup of Nations)," the Egyptian star told Sky Sports after last night's match. Playing in the national team is a big thing.

Biswas Salah believes that Liverpool will not have problems without him, "We have many good players. There are also players who can play in my position. We have to trust. We have to work hard on the field, we have to play our own game. And if you can do that, the winning streak will continue.
