I think I never hide that, how important he is.
He's playing pretty much constantly and it's quite difficult to leave him out, to be honest.
It's always you think, OK, then we miss that, then we miss that, and stuff like that.
So very, very important.
I say it all the time,
Mo Salah could have scored and made a fantastic game.
He was involved in all good situations in the second half as well.
So didn't score, was not too happy when I took him off.
But at least one in the stadium needs to stay kind of responsible and serious and that's why we changed pretty early, I would say three times.
and that was the situation, but, yeah, very important.
The second goal probably we would have scored as well, but it was a nice play and a very good game, and again he worked so outstandingly hard in the first half.
It was not a brilliant half, but he helped here, he helped there, and, yeah, so that was a good game of him.
The performance was good enough to win the game, and the result is massive for us.
I thought it was the first ugly game, we've won.
Usually when we are not that good we immediately lose.
The first five minutes, the first half were OK,
Yeah, as I said before the game, the most consistent team in style is Burnley, so they play what they play, and they do that, they're really used to it.
This fight for second balls, they had a better formation, we couldn't adapt that quick, and we were kind of impressed, so it means in our build-up what we wanted to do, we wanted to usually mix up the build-up,
playing long balls and all that stuff, but because we were impressed we had only long balls.
Obviously we didn't find often enough targets for the deflection, or we lost in the second ball.
