“I’m curious about his diet” – Gabriel Agbonlahor comments on Liverpool’s ‘bully’ performance against Chelsea

Gabriel Agbonlahor has expressed admiration for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, particularly highlighting his “bullying” performance against Chelsea. Salah not only scored a penalty but also assisted Curtis Jones’ winning goal, helping Liverpool stay at the top of the Premier League.

Agbonlahor, who included the 32-year-old in his TalkSPORT team of the week, was so impressed that he wanted to know Salah’s dietary and training regimen. This season, Salah has already recorded five goals and five assists in the league, maintaining a consistent presence since Slot took over as head coach.

Reflecting on Salah’s impact, Agbonlahor remarked: “Mo Salah, where do you start? The way he was bullying the Chelsea defence, I want to know what Mo Salah eats. I want to know his workouts because he is so strong. He took his penalty very well – no-nonsense, no casual run-up, run up to it and put your foot through it. Goal.”

He also praised Salah’s assist for Jones, saying, “Also, his ball for Curtis Jones’ goal was outstanding. Not many players see that and he was making these sorts of balls and passes all game. His vision is out of this world.”

Agbonlahor concluded by stating, “If it’s £450,000 a week, I don’t care what it is. They can’t afford to lose Mo Salah on a free transfer. Outstanding talent and still playing at a high level.”

Arne Slot REACHES agreement for IMPORTANT Liverpool signing

Liverpool is poised to finalize a deal for a significant addition to Arne Slot’s coaching team.

The Dutch manager has already enlisted several former colleagues from his time at Feyenoord, including his assistant Sipke Hulshoff and the club’s lead physical performance coach, Ruben Peeters.

It’s evident that Slot prefers to have trusted personnel with whom he has an established rapport. This approach is not uncommon; Jurgen Klopp similarly brought in his own staff when he joined the club.

Now, it appears Slot is on the verge of incorporating another vital staff member from Feyenoord into the Anfield setup.

Liverpool is set to appoint Roderick van der Ham

According to Dutch outlet 1908.nl. The new addition to Arne Slot’s staff will be Feyenoord’s video analyst, with whom Slot has worked since 2022 before his move to Anfield this summer.

During their collaboration, Slot and the 33-year-old Van der Ham worked together for over 95 matches. Van der Ham has held various positions in football since he was 18, including serving as a video analyst for the Dutch U19 national team and at clubs like RKC Waalwijk and Heracles in both the Dutch first and second tiers. He also previously worked as a fitness coach at NAC Breda.

While it’s unclear what role Van der Ham will assume at Liverpool, it’s likely to be similar to his previous position under Slot. He also appears to have some familiarity with English football, having visited Manchester City’s campus in 2018, as noted on his Instagram.

At 33, Van der Ham demonstrates considerable drive and ambition, making him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s staff. Slot’s familiarity with him indicates he values Van der Ham highly, further justifying his appointment.
