He's incredibly good at kicking the ball far enough ahead of himself to make the keeper think about coming for it, while giving himself enough time to get there and slot it past him.

trust me, they didn't look easy

The second one especially looked difficult. Very good finish indeed.

You'd expect that of Salah. It's beating him with so much time to spare that he can get his head up and weigh his options before beating the keeper.

with a teasing, bent curler flighted so perfectly that Pickford would not have gotten near it even with normal length arms...

Must be a nightmare for goalies seeing him coming from our right. You just know he can find that shot curling around you. If Mo now perfects a shot to Slip it into the near post (goalies left) he will have some fun with those breakaways. It’s just a great thing to watch Mo bombing forward, being chased down and outsmarting a goalie - Ultimate being the Ali/Mo combo Vs United.

Like against porto at home

I'm savouring every goal and moment because I'm not sure I'll ever see a better player for us. We've won the PL and CL but he deserves so much more. Hope we can win something this season.

How did he thread that ball into the net for his second? Magical.

He scuffed it

Not a breakaway, but the one he slotted against United was at the near post and was very clinical.

and THE goal vs City.

Nah, it was the same finish he made against Bournemouth a couple of years ago.

His first touch this season has been absolutely other worldie too. Not that it's ever been anything but good, but it's reached world-class (and beyond) levels this year. Picking things out of the air, killing hard passes to him dead at sight, it's a joy to see.

sublime skills. I like that he displays that stuff but is never showboating, which he could do easily.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #17972 on:** December 2, 2021, 06:59:56 pm »

He's an 'every' game player as well. Big games, small games, important games, dead rubber games...he doesn't care, he's not fazed, he plays at the top level in all of them. He's scored multiple goals against the likes of Utd, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton (I know, I know one of these is not like the others)...compare that to some big names who never seem to turn up in the big games, or sulk against minnows or whatever.
I think it's right that before this season he had scored against every PL opponent he had faced except Swansea. I'd expect that to continue.

And a very similar goal and finish to one he scored in the previous 4-0 at home to Southampton.

Just saw the new Pepsi ad with Mo…is that Salah La La La (to the tune of ‘Satisfaction’ by the Stones) a thing? Do the Egypt fans sing it?

The satisfaction he can't get is his contract wage request.

That touch to rip the defender was incredible then the composure to pick someone out when most footballers just smack that across goal or cut it back and hope.

Just said that on the match thread it gave valuable time for the pass to the legend who did the rest.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #17994 on:** December 4, 2021, 05:24:03 pm »

Phenomenal how it took that pass from VVD. 94th minute and he's played every PL minute and he's still @ 100%.

I must admit I thought Aït-Nouri (Curtis Jones) put in fantastic performance keeping him quiet until he went off injured.

Also - isn’t it Ki-Jana Hoever who salah roasted?

tornado · « **Reply #17996 on:** December 4, 2021, 08:14:25 pm »

Yes, Ait-Nouri did well but it was not just him containing Salah, Wolves are a good defensive team. But even if he had not been subbed, Salah might have still roasted him the same way as Ki-Jana (Ait-Nouri would be running on fumes by that time even if injured whereas Salah doesn't tire.
