"I think that's what we are doing more and more not only with him but with many players. I think I've said this recently quite a lot, our game in between boxes is good enough for our attackers to be often enough in promising positions. I know, we know that if this happens enough times then our players will do what we expect of them because they have so much quality."
"You were talking about Mo but a great example might also be Florian, who was three minutes before the end against Bournemouth in exactly the same position as he was when he scored the 2-0 [against Qarabag]. In Bournemouth he decided to play a through pass; now he went for his own chance and scored. This is how football works sometimes."
Team responsibility for creating good positions for attackers is emphasized, and Liverpool's play between the boxes is producing more promising chances. Florian Wirtz chose a through pass late against Bournemouth but opted to shoot and scored in a similar situation against Qarabag. Small moments and fine margins determine outcomes, with shots sometimes hitting the post or bar and decisions or execution occasionally imperfect. Mohamed Salah, Federico Chiesa and Florian Wirtz all scored, and goals provide both individual and team confidence.
