Mohamed Salah

[Bob]

Surely you just need that Harry Enfield clip on the old arsenal team vs ‘92 Liverpool.

 

Barging the goalie had them well up at half time from memory, but then the mighty reds bossed the second half by loads.

 

Same story, except Mo Salah is a touch better than Mark Walters and Michael Thomas.

[Faustus]

When it comes to Dixie Dean's record, I usually just tell the blues it was ostensibly playground footy in those days: one at the back, one in midfield, and eight up front with a chunk in goal.

[magicrat]

Yeah,under the current football laws you cannot simply barge the keeper into the back of the net while he has the ball nor kick him like a football until he drops it and you kick it into the net yourself.

 

I would make an exception for Mignolet. A massive shoeing is warranted

Charles Charlie-Charles to take Solanke's place on the bench next season.

Meant to post this earlier. As an Irish Liverpool fan of a similar generation to the author, with a son of similar age, and with similar misgivings about football recently, I can really relate...

I have misgivings about brainwashing encouraging my son to follow the Reds. Clicking on the link, I thought he was going to say that Salah's obvious decency as a player and a human being had made him appreciate that football can be a force for good. Instead, he has used Salah's name as a proxy for the bells in Pavlov's dog experiment.

With 7 games to play this season, Salah has already beaten the career-best goal scoring seasons of:

 

Shevchenko

Inzaghi

Rooney

Aguero

van Basten

Shearer

Fowler

Eto'o

Trezeguet

van Persie

del Piero

Müller

Crespo

Batistuta

Totti

Drogba.

Just saw this on the Twitterer.

 

Salah’s great and all, but I’m really glad I can’t see the bottom half of this pic.

I love Salah, amazing scoring record. Probably my favorite current player m, despite early reservations. However to be fair to the strikers you’ve named above, they played against much superior defenders; in the PL alone; Stam, Vidic, Ferdinand, Campbell, Carvalho, Hyypia. Van Dijk wouldn’t even make top five back then I wouldn’t have thought.

The quality of defenders is probably better now to be honest if you averaged it out. Especially from the premier league in the 90’s. Loads of shite defenders from back then

 

Granted the stand out defenders seemed better than what we have now

 

I think the biggest change is the style of football. Burnley are the closest thing to that Blackburn team that Shearer got all them goals in and won the league.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is targeting a place in the club’s history books as he chases Ian Rush’s record for the most goals scored in a single season.

 

The Egypt international took his tally to 40 for the campaign against Bournemouth at the weekend and is only seven short of equalling Rush, who set the mark in 1983-84.

 

With four Premier League matches and a two-legged Champions League semi-final to come, Salah has more than enough chances to set a new milestone having already made the most prolific debut for the club.

 

“There’s a big chance to break the record, to be number one for a club like Liverpool, it’s something huge,” he told Premier League Productions.

 

“I will be very happy if I break it. I’m happy about 40, I want to keep scoring, I want to be number one for the record.

 

“It’s always good when you see your name with legends of a club like Liverpool, it’s a different feeling and I’m very happy about that.

 

“But I always try to look at myself and I want more. I have 40 now, I’m telling myself, ‘Why not? You can be number one!’

 

“I will try my best to break the record but, as I’ve said before, we play as 11 players, I play for the team.

 

“It’s not about individual awards, it’s something for the team. I’m sure if I have a chance to give it to someone else to score, I will – it’s not about me, it’s about us.”

[Stickman]

To be honest if Chelsea don't win tonight there is really no need to play him Bobby or Mane at all against West Brom, but would Mo be cool with that as you are giving horse face the chance to come up on the rails and pip him at the post.

[ZonkoVille77]

What that tells me about him, is he's a selfish man and needs to go in the summer. How dare he have ambition.

You forgot Solanke.

[Elite]

You forgot Solanke.

He beat that in the first game.

[VladimirIlyich]

You forgot Solanke.

I sincerely hope I am proved completely wrong about Solanke but he looks absolute dogshit at the moment. I realise that he is being slightly compared to Firmino,Salah and Mane but he looks absolutely clueless for a potentially top class player. Like I say,I want to be proved wrong, but he looks massively off even a competent level at present when playing for the first team.

He's looked woeful. But time will tell...

I share this feeling.  He doesn't seem to have a single attribute I can look a and go "ah! that's what he's all about"

 

Not particular pacey, not great at trapping the ball, not great at holding up play, not great at shooting.

I hope we are both eating humble pie over these posts in a year or so time Paulie. I do agree with you about him not having a particularly strong point that would give us a bit of hope though. At least with Origi we could see that he was pacey,skillful and could score the odd goal,but I am not seeing this in Solanke,yet at least.

[Oh Buoy]

Well done, Mo!

Why is he renting a suit?

[Paulie Dangerously]

African player of the year, PFA Player of the year and smashing Dixie Deans goal record in real terms in his debut season.  What a player. 

[Aventus]

Gone and scored another hasn't he?

 

Equals the all time record for a 38 game season, and there's still 3 games left to play.

 

Amazing
