It shows they're really focused on winning this FA Cup thing. I mean, 4-1 is a decent win, but let's be real, it could've been a lot worse for Barnsley if Salah hadn't scored in the 85th minute. 
Their defense was all over the place, especially in injury time when they were trailing 2-1. I'm not saying Liverpool was perfect or anything, but that last goal from Henderson sealed it and gave them some serious momentum going into the next round.
The guy's a beast on set pieces! Unmarked header in the 60th minute is no joke. I mean, who expects to score from an unmarked header like that? 
Only Trent, am I right?
especially that Salah move, what a finish!
