Mohamed Salah

[Hades]

Quality MUSLIM footballer.

[El Dangerous]

did he say holla or hala?

He can eat his meat any way he wants as long as he keeps scoring.

[Elite]

He's a footballing extremist

Klopp says Salah limping when substituted - faces check before Burnley

 

================

 

Pretty much means he won't be starting against Burnley no matter what now. Thankfully we can just move Coutinho out wide and bring Oxlade into the centre.

 

Saw him do a little hop when he was trying to run across the pitch to press, then slow down. 

 

Heart went into my mouth, hope he just needs a bit of a rest and it's not a tear.

 

I think it'll be more changes than just Ox into the centre and Coutinho out wide. I'd be very surprised if Solanke and Lallana didn't start against Burnley.

Best to leave him out

 

Stick Mane back on the right and see if that gets him going.

Not keen on Can playing but not much option at the moment,come home Lucas

Joint record holder for most goals before new years day.  Roger Hunt's tally of 23 set in 1961-62.

 

That fella was meant to be ok too.

[Ginny]

Glad he’s out of his one game goal drought. Was worried for a bit there

[amli]

Salah is a frigging freak.

Getting close to Suarez levels.

The second goal was pure Luis, just shrugging off a stronger defender (Maguire) and calmly slotting it away.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I love Salah. I was banging on about him on here long before he joined Chelsea, posting up videos of him in Egypt, etc, but he’s miles off being as good as Suárez. Miles and miles. Salah might get more goals or whatever, but only in the same way that Kane is better than Messi and Ronaldo this year.

 

Suárez is so incredibly talented and lethal. No need to bring him into it.

[Grinch]

Salah has the advantage of playing under a better manager with better attacking players.

[El Dangerous]

He also has the advantage of not being a bit racist or bitey.

[corro]

Obviously not saying he is as good as Messi but some of his play reminds me of him more than any other top player, especially in and around the box. No one gets near him. He uses his body so well to get goal side of his marker. He must be a nightmare to play against. He made a mug of Leicesters star CB for the second goal. Great player.

[dockers_strike]

Great player. What more is there to say. Could and should have scored in the first half though.

[Elite]

The great thing with Salah is when he misses a few his head doesn't drop, he just keeps trying until he finds a way.

He really needs to work on his right foot and heading. Other than that, Mo - you're doing a great job son, a great job!

[Baltar]

What a player! Any news on his injury? 

[dockers_strike]

Give him an ice bath tonight for goodness sake. The boy is just incredible. If he does miss chances he should score it does not phase him. He just goes again until he does.

I disagree with there being that big a gulf... Suarez was incredibly good for us, and his second season for Barca maybe even better, probably top 2 in the world that year. However, I can't remember Suarez being as/more influential to our overall play than what Mo has been this season. As well as scoring and contributing assists, he brings others into play brilliantly. I mentioned it to my Manc-supporting brother-in-law during the game today that he's incredibly strong for his stature and he very rarely wastes the ball.

 

With Luis, you'd get the nutmegs and worldies and inexplicable things more regularly, but what Salah has produced this season is right up there with Suarez' 13/14- efforts in my book. I'm guessing with City running away with the league and an Englishman topping the goalscoring charts he'll still go "under the radar", but he's my POTY this far...

 

In an ideal world he'd be even more clinical, but can anyone remember a Liverpool player coming to this many gilt-edged chances regularly?

 

I've told my mates (a bit earlier in the season) to bet on him as top scorer in the league - unless Kane's hat-trick-streak continues - I think he'll do it.

 

Anyway, nothing to be taken away from Suarez' brilliance, but the only player I'd trade Salah for atm is Messi, and I still doubt we'd be much better off!

Mo Salah injures injuries. Injuries do not injure him.

[TheHowieLama]

C'mon man - he carried the side on his back for most of that year - the quality of his goals were breathtaking. Easily the best individual performance I have seen from any player in the modern Prem - much less a Red.

[Captain Turdseye]

I love him so much that I've:

 

a) broke my long-standing rule of not buying any football related clothing; and

 

2) bought a t-shirt that might lead people to mistakenly believe that I have a serious neurological condition.

Haha! I'm already the proud owner of that neurological condition and upon delivery will also have worn the t-shirt. TLW coming good once again. Nice one!

Yeah, I was leaning towards the team aspect of his play - overall contribution to our style. For all his brilliance, Luis gave the ball away quite a lot, and when his nutmegs and volleys weren't coming off he could be a bit frustrating in terms of choices made. I'd say Salah's decision-making and execution is less spectacular than Luis', but I think we'll be better off and score more goals than we did in 13/14 as a result of his link-up and overall play.

[Harry Squatter]

He is that good that Dave Kirkby should do a poem about him

[G Richards]

If he’s touch and go on a minor strain, rest him. He can miss Burnley, Everton too (think he just gets back from Egypt that morning anyway) then he’ll be raring to go again.
