He had a pop at Arbeloa once and there’s still people crying about it today.  He also mentioned having to stop speaking to Enrique because he was driving him mad.  The revisionist shit people come up with in their heads is fucking comical.

Revisionist shit? I was sat there listening to him you condescending idiot.

Or you could take both in consideration and not act like you're some all-seeing genius when watching games when in reality you think Salah is a greedy cunt who should be playing on the left swinging crosses in.

Go on give us some examples of the stuff you heard and who it was towards.

[Code]

Key passes.

[Curly]

Top of my head - pennant, finnan, riise, Bellamy, Cisse. There’s more than that.

 

Not sure why you’re finding it such a struggle to believe. He was great, but an absolute moaner. Not very humble either.

The importance of Salah compared to Mane.

I'm just pointing out the numbers to those who think Mane is more important.

[The Guest]

Another dead locking breaking goal following in a Salah shot which will be credited as an assist. Brilliant these stats aren’t they. Lolz.

Pace stats don't count, or something

[LFC 6 Times]

Mane is absolutely top class, every facet of his game, pace, touch, 2 footed, boss in the air, unpredictable, great tackler and winning the ball back and a massive pair of balls on him. We are blessed to have him.

They’re both fucking awesome. Genuinely wouldn’t trade them in for any other wide player. Even that little monobrow cunt at Chelsea. 

Mane, Firmino, Salah

vs

Coutinho, Suarez, Sterling?

Th... the current lot, mate

 

its a difficult choice because Suárez at his peak elevates any forward line and sterling has become pretty fuckin good. But I’ll take mane salah firmino, I just like the way they work together - they compliment each other’s game terrifically

I found this a bit interesting. it shows how many goals players have scored home and away and in total obviously.

Mane has scored just 4 goals away from home in the league, I was not aware of that to be honest. 

Kane, Vardy and Mo in the top 3 for away goals.

 

1	Sergio Agüero	19	15	4	28	14	14	0.68	1.07	0.29	Manchester City
1	Mohamed Salah	19	11	8	34	17	17	0.56	0.65	0.47	Liverpool
3	Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang	18	11	7	32	17	15	0.56	0.65	0.47	Arsenal
3	Sadio Mané	18	14	4	32	17	15	0.56	0.82	0.27	Liverpool
5	Harry Kane	17	6	11	28	12	16	0.61	0.50	0.69	Tottenham
5	Raheem Sterling	17	12	5	29	14	15	0.59	0.86	0.33	Manchester City
7	Eden Hazard	16	11	5	33	17	16	0.48	0.65	0.31	Chelsea
8	Jamie Vardy	15	6	9	30	15	15	0.50	0.40	0.60	Leicester
9	Alexandre Lacazette	13	9	4	31	17	14	0.42	0.53	0.29	Arsenal
9	Paul Pogba	13	10	3	30	15	15	0.43	0.67	0.20	Manchester United
11	Roberto Firmino	12	7	5	33	16	17	0.36	0.44	0.29	Liverpool

Was just reading a stat that said, of players with 9 goals or more, he's got the best goals to games ratio of any Liverpool player in the CL / European Cup.

 

23 games, 15 goals.

 

Considering he starts from a wide position, and never plays up top like Mo has at times, that's a great return against top class opposition.

Hmm where did you read that mate?

I think these are the correct numbers.

Europe Salah:
CL 17/18: 12 (1) - 10 goals, 4 assists
CL 18/19: 10 (0) - 4 goals, 2 assists

Europe Mane:
CL 17/18: 11 (0) - 10 goals, 1 assist
CL 18/19: 10 (0) - 4 goals, 1 assist

It popped up on Twitter. Just checked and you're right; no idea where they got the extra games and goal from, as even if they include the qualifiers he didn't score.

 

Although looking on transfermarkt, they've got Mo down for five assists last season, and Mané down for three. 

 

The correct stats, as you listed, actually give Mané a slightly better goals per game ratio than the ones I posted.

Salah is a better counter-attacking player, whereas Mane is the more likely player to score when we have more of the ball. Seems fair.
