Mohamed Salah

[polymerpunkah]

He's as good as any attacking player in the Prem, for me.

 

And he's working as hard as anyone in the squad bar perhaps Henderson. 

 

And has been for a while now.

Mo Salah has been in brilliant form for Liverpool this season, and he is climbing up their all-time Premier League goalscoring list. 

 

The Egyptian has been a revelation at Anfield since signing from Roma in 2017, winning the Golden Boot during his first two seasons at the club.

 

Salah has maintained that form in 2019-20 and the 27-year-old is well on his way to surpassing Robbie Fowler as Liverpool’s record goalscorer in the Premier League.

 

With another 14 goals from 22 games for Liverpool in the Premier League already this season, Salah has moved to 68 goals from 96 appearances for Liverpool in the competition.

 

After overtaking Fernando Torres (65), he is currently fifth on Liverpool’s all-time Premier League goalscorers list, but he is just one goal behind Luis Suarez.

 

Former Reds players Michael Owen (118), Steven Gerrard (120) and Robbie Fowler (128) make up the rest of the top three.

 

But Salah averages a remarkable 0.70 goals per game for the Reds in the league, a better strike rate than all four of the players above him. For comparison, Fowler got his 128 Liverpool league goals in 266 appearances at a rate of 0.48 goals per game.

 

After 96 Liverpool league appearances Fowler had 59 goals, nine less than Salah, so the Egyptian is on track to become their top goalscorer.

 

 

With that in mind, we’ve done the maths to calculate how long it will take Salah to catch Fowler if he continues his current rate of scoring, obviously on the basis that he stays injury-free.

 

– To go fourth and overtake Suarez, it will only take Salah another three games – a figure that he should reach against Watford at the end of the month.

 

– To go level with Owen in third place on 118 goals, Salah will have to score another 50 league goals and it should take another 72 league appearances for him to do that – which roughly takes us to the start of 2022.

 

– To move above Gerrard, he needs another 53 goals and at his current strike rate, he will get to that figure on his 173rd Premier League appearance for Liverpool.

 

– To become Liverpool’s all-time leading Premier League scorer, overtaking Fowler on 128 goals, it will take Salah another 88 league appearances. Approximately this would be around the start of the 2022-23 season, when Salah would still only be 30 years old.

 

Of course, it’s impossible to predict what will be happening in three years time and Salah would do remarkably well to avoid injuries and continue at the same pace.

 

However, the fact that Salah could break Fowler’s Liverpool record in 82 fewer league appearances, shows what an incredible goalscorer he has become.

He’s the best player in the league, he cant be replaced by someone better. That player does not exist.

So we lose him for weeks in Jan/Feb and we don't have him for pre season either.

Not sure if this has been posted in another thread, but worth a read. When we do win the league, this man will have been as important as any.

 

Little did we know in 16/17 when the strikeforce included a broken down Sturridge, Ings & Origi that the following summer we'd land the most profliic striker in the history of the club. He's not just the most proflific - he's by far the most prolific. Torres, Fowler, Suarez? Between 62-64 goals in 100 games. Salah? 70.

 

More prolific in his first 100 than Aguero. Than Van Nistelrooy. Than Henry. An absolute bonafide beast. Olympics, AFCON .. completely irrelevant. An absolutely immovable player who plays as a hard-working, harrying wide player. Suarez was the absolute darling of the fans for good reason when he drove us towards 13/14, but Salah is an unprecedented player at the club and -- in his position -- pretty much an unprecedented player globally too.

Former Liverpool and England striker Peter Crouch: "Salah has scored 70 goals in 100 games for @LFC. That's more than Suarez, Torres, Fowler, Owen and Crouch after 100. Impressive”.

 

One of the many reasons why I love Peter Crouch.

Did Crouch even play 100 games for Liverpool?

 

Edit: yes he did 134 games 42 goals. Prolific.

Really solid performance again on Saturday. Class finish, worked his balls off and would have had an assist if Bobby hadn't screwed up.

Its a bit(no pun intended) unfair on Suarez as he almost carried a whole team while sitting out a few suspensions along the way. He also played with Mignolet in goal and Skrtel at centre half! Mo has been brilliant though and its been fantastic that we have been able to turn around Rodgers disasterous last season so relatively quickly.

According to hair hands keys Salah is off in the summer to play in the white of Madrid.

 

Bet the whopper still thinks Everton will finish above us.  

[cloggypop]

He's probably still waiting for his triumphant return to Sky.

I saw Andy Gray once in Marbella, bar strip called Peurto Banus. My mate was a blue and so approached him and asked if he knew of any Everton signings in the summer. ‘Fuck Off’ he replied. Cant buy class like that.
