There’s a brilliant compilation of Mo’s best moments for us here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/ncwwy6/mos_iconic_moments_and_celebrations_cf_comps9/

Mother of god what a player he’s been for us so far. Let’s get that new contract on the table ASAP.

I was looking at that before and thought how can you only choose one moment from all those. I would struggle to decide a top three I love so many of those goals.

As an individual he’s unfortunate that he plays in a team of wonderful players so probably doesn’t stand out in the way Torres and Suarez did. We perhaps take him for granted at times too for the same reason.

But the things he’s helped us achieved and his amazing individual contribution put him up there with the best players in this club’s history and for me far above the aforementioned players who left with little to celebrate.

Personally I think Salah is the epitome of substance over style.

His numbers are absolutely unreal, but he concentrates on efficiency over style. Fans love flicks or extravagant displays of skill. Mo is an assassin, he is only interested in results.

That goal of Mo's reminded me of Owen's against the mancs in the league cup final. Barthez did the same , basically showing him the whole goal:

Not complaining

Speaking from the keepers union, defending against a clear break from the halfway is maybe the hardest thing to do for a keeper. The attacker has 40 yards to shift you around, you can’t close space until the last touch, if you get it wrong you’re rounded or lobbed and they’ve got control of the angles, not you. Much different from say a through ball where the attacker has got a couple of touches at most to get their shape and angles right

It should be a legal requirement that whenever Mo's shirt-off celebration against the Mancs last season is shown it is NOT cut off before Alisson comes charging and kneesliding into the picture. Probably one of my favourite moments of recent years - not just football moments, but favourite moments full stop.

His goal record is obviously monstrous but when you add in his all round play and assist numbers it gets ridiculous - only Suarez can compete and he did it for us for 6 months

From a footballing point of view you should be giving a contract that keeps him til 33 - you might eat a bit of drop off in performance in the last couple of years (you equally might not its hard to predict) but even with that you'd still have one of the most potent, versatile attacking players in the league
The only way this becomes difficult is if he wants a contract that runs to 34/35 then it becomes tougher

i dont want him to fucking leave obviously but when he does, hope he return to his hometown club or something. can't bear watching him play for another team.

doesnt get enough plaudits from our fans let alone the league. Klopp rates him as his most important signing but what does he know. I rather trust knowledgeable youtube and radio call in fans and pundits like carra and neville that crave for mbappe and sancho.

Well, this season he has really stood out, unfortunately.

Oh yes, the speed of Alisson in that celebration was nuts.

Haha!! Agreed. In my part of the region (another side of the globe), I feel - am really longing for a double
finger flick on our fans' testicles who keep craving for Mbappe over Salah in EVERY, SINGLE, GAME before he scored for Liverpool.

It's fucking annoying treating one of your own players like he is useless and without any love.
Trust me, I am really okay if someone call him greedy for not passing in the game, diving, missing a chance or whatever - IN THE GAME.

Mistakes IN THE GAME... It's really okay to criticise him.

But not appreciating / supporting your own player, who is fighting in Liverpool sacred red shirt and playing for Liverpool - is another alien thing for me. Fuck the ugly testicles.

Manes better though isn’t he?

Not this season but the two seasons before Mane was miles better and for me was the best all round forward in world football and that's not a slight on Salah because he has been outstanding since he joined the club. Both of them are absolute machines and despite Mane's obvious dip this season reading some of the shite on here a lot of Liverpool fans seem to have forget how special Mane has been before this season. It's like Mane has turned into Yannick fucking Bollassie according to some posters in here.

Miles better at what? Did he score more goals? Did he assist more?

Mane has been very special for us but this post is just symptomatic of how our fanbase have consistently taken Salah for granted.

Same vibes as Gerrard and any midfielder who could pass the ball 5 yards. So much of our fanbase were desperate to stick the boot in when they had the chance

Exactly miles better, that’s laughable.

Mane has never ever been miles better than Salah. The best you can say in that regard is that they were on the same level, but better certainly isn't the case. 2 seasons ago, they had scored the same amount of goals, Mane had a handful of assists where as Salah had double digit assists that year.

Better at what? Assisting, nope. Creating chances, nope. Scoring goals, nope. Salah has always been better (and that’s no slight on Mane who - aside from this season - been phenomenal for us). Believing something to be true doesn’t make it true.

The finish today was seriously top class. Just hoping that contract is sorted sooner rather than later. He's got his 100th goal for us this season and is already on 125 now. Make sure he's here long enough that he can go past 200, because I don't think he'll slow down in the goals department for a couple of years yet.
