Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[scouseman]

cannot seem to get The Bangles  Walk Like an Egyptian out of my head. Welcome to Liverpool FC Mo. The song should be added to the playlist at games to make him feel at home. Can just imagine him do the dance when he scores.

I think I might die of cringe if George plays that.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Welcome to the best club in the world, can't wait to see our attack tear opposition teams apart with Salah and Mane on the wings.

Very excited by this signing, hopefully the start of great things to come this summer.

 

[Yorkykopite]

From the (very little) I've seen, one of the most impressive things about our new player is how quickly he reacts to opportunities. Think of Mane's speed of thought at Goodison last season where he pounced on the loose ball to score. Salah's showreel contains a surprising number of instances of a player reacting far quicker to loose balls than the defenders around him. FAR quicker.

I also love his understanding of space when he's playing 'number 10'. A number of his goals and assists stem from superior movement in tight situations and a keen appreciation of how to beat an offside trap.

I'm not in the least worried about his 'failure' at Chelsea. As the Jonathan Wilson article demonstrates, Chelsea's 'failures' say far more about the club's stupid extravagance than the merits of the rejected players.

Shame Ngoo is gone, he'd have fitted the next line nicely

[Chakan]

That's a decent lean there, a bit try hard, but decent.

[Irakla]

Now that is the official confirmation, very casual lean spot on 

[Grobbelrevell]

I wonder whose name they blocked out.

[pjshaun]

[JackWard33]

Hate to be the barer of concerning news but that lean is half arsed at best. You've got to question his commitment and from an underlying stats point of view that's only a 13 degree tilt ...one of  the lowest so far for a first team signing

[sms1986]

Firmino, I would assume, as Salah is taking 11.

It's a new dressing room right? Have we had other players leaning in there? Anything to compare to? The table in the middle does seem awfully high and he's not a tall person.

As a smaller person myself, it's pretty difficult to commit to a full lean on a very high obstruction.

[ABZ Rover]

Considering the height of the furniture there I am calling that a "good lean".

Hopefully as the season progresses and he beds into the team he will be able to identify better suited lean accompaniments to work with.

Happy days!

[Vote For Pedro]

How about a new approach to the lean?

Great point - not a like for like comparison... a common problem with use of analytics
Let's wait til the end of the summer to see how he stacks up - remains a question mark for now

[Anfield89]

Don't make excuses that is a terrible lean. It's so poor that if u moved the furniture he wouldn't even fall over.

[slaphead]

You know, I'm getting really fed up listening to people say "he was a flop at Chelsea" (not on here by the way, by so called "experts" on radio)
He was what, 21 at Chelsea ?  Exactly how many 21 year olds have 1) got a decent chance and 2) Flourished at Chelsea over the last 10 years ?  Never mind when Maurneen was there
Lazy, ignorant line to trot out

[MrRaptorTurtle]

Don't be silly, his lean is worth £10m alone!

[SerbianScouser]

Strange that after KDB, Lukaku, Sturridge etc. people are still using that argument. When you try to build a squad of 20 top class players some of them are always going to be bargains for other clubs.

True we definitely need someone else leaning there to see. I mean a VVD lean on the table would be good to see and compare. Maybe a Mpappe lean. Will see how the window pans out.

That wouldn't be the devil's spawn known as Talksport would it? I hate that fucking station with a passion I normally reserve for the likes of Simon Cowell and Iain Duncan Smith

Look I know on the surface it appears that he hasn't fully committed to the lean but - and I quote the ever-reliable Wikipedia - "Ramadan is also a month where Muslims try to practice increased self-discipline" and "Ramadan also teaches Muslims how to better practice self-discipline, self-control".

Clearly the man is trying very hard not to over-indulge. So this is actually the club's fault for signing him during Ramadan.

FSG Out.

It really is, when you think you could put a team out of Chelsea "flops" that was made up of De Bruyne, Matic, Lakaku, Sturridge, Salah and Bertrand - that should really kill it altogether

They are the chief culprits yes :-)  They really wound me up last night.
Some other blerts were on about it today too

He looked good at Basle and his stats at Roma look incredible so he should hopeully be good for us.

A strange looking piece of furniture.

Previous leans have taken place on the balcony overlooking the Liver Buildings but since Moshi Lad bought them obviously the lean photo shoot can't take place there for legal reasons.

SKY sports are just as bad (surprise surprise). Reporting yesterday  on the Salah signing the last clip they showed was a horrible corner flag shot by Salah against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.

The c*nts must have scoured the Salah/Cheslea archives for that.

They did show a worldie goal he scored for Fiorintina but the only goal of his dozens he has scored for Roma was a tap In off a shot that his the post.

The coverage was bordering on laughable.

Mo was asked on LFCTV if he is a different player now, Salah gave a massive smile and laugh "oh yes"

I'm a gambling man and I'm having me bollocks on a Salah goal when we play the rent boys

[PhilV]

All we need is
Mane & Salah

(Radio Ga Ga)

I just sang that in my head (and with a little whisper) and it was great! I think this is the one lads!

[Clayton Bigsby]

I just cane on here to talk about this guy

He would be perfect for us on the other side of Mane. Its just the Africa Cup of Nations elephant in the room

Is there a more attainable productive wide forward in all the top leagues?

29 league goes in 65 games is great. Pretty sure there are no penalties in that and last season his 19 goals (in all comps) came in 14 games so it's not like he is a stat padder.

I think he is a can't fail signing to be honest. Coutinho gonna be in player of the year argument as the chief orchestrator of the havoc.

[slaphead]

He looked good at Basle and his stats at Roma look incredible so he should hopeully be good for us.

Yio, and another Yip as you posted it twice 
He was a star at Basel, he has been brilliant at Fioerentina and Roma, I think he will be a huge success

[Ray K]

SING HALLELUIAH.

Impressively relaxed lean.
The look: Sports casual.  It's an Egyptian gentleman abroad. It's Omar Sharif. It's a lean that says 'I'm here at Liverpool, and I can lean any effing way I want'.

Rating: 8.5, Would lean again.
