SENSATIONAL' SALAH LEAVES LIVERPOOL GREATS STUNNED

Gary McAllister and John Aldridge have been blown away by the Egyptian's performances for the Reds and expect Virgil van Dijk to come good
Former Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister admits he has been shocked by the form of Mohamed Salah since his move from Roma.

The Egypt international, who joined for what was then a club-record fee of an initial €42 million last June, has scored 28 goals in all competitions in 2017-18.
Salah's latest strikes, including a sublime solo effort, came in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham last Sunday, which took him to 21 league goals in 25 appearances – already six more than he managed in Serie A last season.
McAllister did not expect the 25-year-old to hit the ground running quite so impressively on his return to England's top flight, after he struggled in a short spell with Chelsea.
"I've got to hold my hands up and say I didn't anticipate it," the former Scotland international, who helped Liverpool win a treble of EFL Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup in 2001, told Omnisport. "I thought he was an outstanding player but I've got to say, he's gone way up in my estimation. He's a stunning player.
"Not only his goal-scoring efforts, his skill and technique, but also, he's robust. He works his socks off for the team. He's very much a team player, but he's been outstanding."
John Aldridge, a league champion and FA Cup winner in his two years at Anfield from 1987 to 1989, says Salah's goalscoring form has been remarkable for a winger.
"If we're going to finish top four and hopefully second or third then we need him to keep on going in the manner which he is," he told Omnisport. "You know, it's just ridiculous to see a winger score that many goals and fighting against Harry Kane of all people for the Golden Boot. Sensational. Brilliant."

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
