35 million seems so little for him so far!

I fully understand where you're coming from but he really doesn't need to find more of anything. All he has to do is just keep doing what he does which is probably impossible at 6 goals in 8 games kind of ratio but in this team considering how often he gets into good positions it really looks like he'll get up to 20 league goals even though he's not even a striker and that would be more than we could ever ask for.

got to agree will jill on this one. He does need to find a bit of consistency. Totally didn't expect he put the ball wide when faced with an open goal. but scored the harder chance when it came.  Still think he is getting used to the pace of EPL which just shows what a beast he is going to be when he adapts to it.

One word to describe his style of play is alive. He seems to be always aware and alert inside the box. His movement inside the box is more of a centre forward than a winger. Coupled with his quickness means he is likely to get the ball first when it spills.

Talk about hitting the ground running. Practically scoring in every game. Ran a bit empty at the end, but who wouldn't sprinting like that. He is a good header, pretty cool headed when finishing, superb left foot.

I wonder if its possible to develop his right foot skills at his age?

Can you imagine what we're doing to do to someone when we get him, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho and Lallana on the pitch at the same time....?  :mindblown
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

4 times he has played 90 minutes in the league this season so far. Scored in every one. Only 2 games he hasn't scored for us in the league were City away when he came off at HT and Palace at home where he came on for the last 30 minutes.

Crazy for wide man. Even crazier is he should have scored twice as many. Just imagine if he improves in front of goal? We could have a 20 league goal wide player. Hell, with Sadio, we might have two of them !
In our formation Sadio and Salah are the strikers. On any heat maps you see there will be no difference between them and any strike partnership. The only difference is the starting positions of Firmino, Salah & Mane on paper. It's pretty much identical to the great Hungary side that used to tear England apart with Puskas & Kocsis as the "wide" players and Hidegkuti as the "striker" when in reality he was a playmaker dropping off the line creating space for the other two to attack.

We’ll still finish in top four - and they won’t. You can quote me on this in May.

Well that's my point, he's already a beast, his production is already ridiculous, you talk about consistency - what's more consistent than scoring almost every game he plays in? There's not a single elite forward in the world who doesn't miss big chances - as long as he keeps putting up this insane numbers (or close to it) a big chance missed here or there is no issue at all.

In hindsight signing him now as opposed to 3,4 years ago is proving to be a better outcome as he's a much much better player than he was then. He's learned and improved a great deal in Italy

Mo has the best positioning sense in a player I can remember, he knows where to go/ghost and has the speed to get there. In addition to that, his run into space made our third goal yesterday as he drew the defenders away from Henderson. On the ball good, off the ball fantastic. Great attitude as well.

The scary part is that he should be top scorer in the league right now with at least 8 goals..

The frustrating thing is that he has missed easier chances than the ones that he has put away..

The great part is that he will only get better as the season goes on..

Ain't it just? It's funny, because while his touch isn't great and he's not the best dribbler or finisher, he's extraordinarily effective as a goalscoring winger and a large part of that is due to his movement. I'm not sure that I've ever seen such an intelligent runner before. This, allied to his workrate, both offensively and defensively, makes him one hell of a package. He's started off brilliantly and I think there may be more to come. Love him, and he's perfect for us.

Could quite easily have been the league's top goal scorer in double figures by now. If he can just work on his composure in the final third and finishing a little more, he'll be absolutely sensational for us.

Tob be fair, the motd commentator did recognise the brilliance of the finish.  When I first saw the goal it looked like it'd hit the side of the net.  brilliant.
