Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

« Last post by jepovic on Today at 03:40:58 pm »

Who's to say Mo would go if Edwards wants him out (i.e the money ?). The Saudi league is a nothing league, somewhere between a circus and a retirement home. That's the end of any meaningful football beyond playing for a perennially underachieving Egyptian national team.
No way Mo goes there next season. Maybe in 2 or 3 years time, maybe... In my opinion (as a know-it-all).

Playing second fiddle here might not be all that exciting either. His reactions in the derby certainly dont look like it.

And there are other clubs, some of them saudi financed, that might pay premium transfer fee and wages for an ageing superstar.
We dont really have a tradition of keeping such players, but other clubs do

But of course it matters massively what Salah wants to do, and we dont know that

i'd like to see him played as a 10, or at least if he's going to continue as a winger he needs to play more as an inside forward (as he did before Nunez joined). we should've really been centering the team around him and his threat to goal, but we seemed to make all the adjustments for Nunez and Trent (to some degree).

Needs to find his first touch if he wants to be a #10, he's been full Dirk Kuyt the last month.

Edwards offering Salah an extension does not mean that it would be a great offer. Maybe he will get a contract reflecting his current or expected future status as a player. And if Mo doesnt accept, would Edwards say no to offers from the saudis ?

Lower his base and raise his goal and assist bonus.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

Not really at all, Salah has literally created the most big chances in the league this season, I have doubts about reliable that stat is, but just from watching us I can see Salah creates far more for Nunez and everyone else than the inverse.

There's been a fair few chances Nunez has created for Salah that he hasn't taken in his time since Darwin first debuted.

Salah may have created more but its not like Nunez hasn't created chances for Salah that his missed either.

It's just all one way as would have been seen.

Was probably more last season than this season to be fair but there my point stands.

Agree.

This is in the right direction. Bit surprised Newcastle did support it.

It’s a start I suppose. Although if you’re owned by despotic , murderous oil states, you shouldn’t be able to spend anything.

Top three. QF in CL. Get to a domestic cup final.

Just for comparison Pep was 3rd, CL last 16 and FA Cup semi final in his first season.  That summer they spent 170 odd million on the likes of Gundogan, Stones and Sane.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!

I don’t think it’s even debatable whether we suffer more at the hands of the corrupt officials than other clubs is it?

I feel you should take that question to a Nottingham Forest website or a Wolves one. Not that they're any more objective than we are of course.

I wonder if with a new coach we will see referees give us a fairer shake? I'd be curious to see what happens next season.


Does anyone know how animated Arne Slot is on the sidelines? Is he more diplomatic with officials, especially the 4th official?

Edwards is playing 4D chess
