Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

I posted this in the match thread, but probably is more appropriate here.

He's surprised me too. He's a lot more skillful and clever than I thought, a complete forward. One of the best in Europe this fall, surely?

I love him, the egyptian pace merchant Chelsea flop

As usual, I wonder what SteveO will say about his goal

[Hendollama]

Anyone noticed that if Salah is not scoring or assisting, he gets the pre-assists or whatever they are called.

Brilliant signing. 18 freaking goals!

I'm guessing most of us would have considered that a very successful season if he posted those numbers for the whole season. Remarkable, really.

[AndyMuller]

Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy yay, give it to salah so he can take it away, off on a pace run goal Bon voyage, the year of the Egyptian god and Liverpool squad.

Finally puts an end to his drought which lasted for a game.

Absolutely and Undoubtedly. And it's not just the goals he is contributing right now. he and Firmino are just so fucking brilliant, they make us play the way we are playing right now.

[Sammy5IsAlive]

We may well be facing more big bids from Barca next month for Phil but we are starting to get to the point where a) somebody like them could come in for any one of that front four and you couldn't be confident saying that we were losing our best player and b) any of our forward players might get more trophies and/or more money if they left but it's now by no means clear that they would be leaving to play with better players up front.

Salah was absolutely brilliant tonight - obviously he's a different type of player to Suarez but he was bringing back flashbacks of that remorseless attitude to win the ball back and then head straight towards goal and take the initiative from the defence.

[hide5seek]

Thank fuck he scored. His dry patch was killing me and made me feel we'd seen the best of him and he needed off loading. Though, I do still worry about Mo and think if we're offered £25 and a packet of crisps we should let go.

[RedSince86]

A Messi type goal.

Best signing of 2017 in world football.

£36 million is daylight robbery.

[sms1986]

He'll be cup tied for the Champions League anyway, wouldn't he? Regardless, they won't try next month, they'll want to see how the seasons go for each team first if they do try again.

[jillcwhomever]

Worked so hard tonight delighted to see him get his reward at the end.

Honestly, the more you think about it the more outrageous that fee is. £36 million for Mo Salah. If we had paid double that we'd be sitting here saying how a £72 million transfer fee was money well spent.

[iAnfieldRoad]

Decent tonight and did the defenders get back into anfield in time for the full time whistle after mo dummied them 

[riismeister]

So far he's had only 2 streaks of 180+ minutes without scoring for us. 11 streaks of less than 90 minutes between goals.

[G a r y]

Every game that goes by I feel more and more silly for thinking he was just a one trick pony.

You and me both, truly had my eye wiped

[disgraced cake]

Thought as the clock ticked on tonight he wasn't going to get one.

Childish of me.

Score like an Egyptian

[diegoLFC7]

Remember that journo questioning his footballing IQ. How do you become a journo and where can i apply?

[Bobinhood]

Were just going to have to admit this one didnt work out and send him out on loan in January. A good run in a Championship side might get his confidence back up some.

Balon D'or at some point in this guys career.

[newterp]

That turn in the box and casual left foot curl - that the goalie barely got his fingers too 

[PIPA23]

some things you can´t learn, you have to have them naturally.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Praise Allah, we have Mo Salah

Finally puts an end to his drought which lasted for a game.

It did feel like a draught, right? 1+ games but 11 goals scored he is not among the scorers. I was cheering him on to grab one throughout ... just don’t want the draught to continue any further. He will score 2 this weekend though ...

[Ken-Obi]

He will score 2 this weekend though ...

They won't count if it's done with pace.

It was a right foot rocket, the way I saw it.

[sminp]

It was a right foot rocket, the way I saw it.

He’s not on about the goal. Salah had a shot earlier that the keeper turned around his post for a corner.

[PoetryInMotion]

Oh yeah! Forgot about that one.

The build-up for that was exquisite. Turned back as if he was going to settle for a pass back, and then took out a couple of players with a dribble and took out another by shooting beyond him.

[Upinsmoke]

He's showing all his attributes right now but confidence is such a wonderful thing in football, he's riding such a crest right now, every time he's on the ball you feel the anticipation in the stands, don't think we've had that since Suarez.

We sort of had it when ballotelli would receive the ball, mainly because row z were getting ready to duck.

Obviously didn't see Roma play at all.

But saying that I did and knew he'd be good, but nowhere near this good. Expected Mane to outshine him easily.

[MULLENEDWINE]

What probably makes me laugh the most out of all of this is can you imagine Chelsea with our Mo, hazard and de bruyne behind morata. Surprised no-ones been sent to the gulag. Plastic idiots.

Our Mo is just fantastic, couldn't of imagined he'd have such an impact so soon. He's lethal. Long may it continue!!

[Jshooters]

I’m not a poet but I really think Iggy Pop’s Passenger would be a great tune for Mo. This is my (poor) effort...hopefully someone can take the idea forward

His name is Mo Salah
And he scores and he scores
He scores goals with a smile on his face
He scores goals because of his pace
He scores goals in every place
He scores goals in all kind of ways

(Repeat first verse)

Singing la la la la la la la la laa
La la la la Mo Salah
La la la la Mo Salah, Salah

I posted this in the match thread, but probably is more appropriate here.

My thoughts exactly! I think most/everyone saw he was going to be one of the best available options and that he suited the league at least- even though he "failed"(pah!) at Chelsea. I'm giving credit to our fans for this one at least...
Usually some will moan about a purchase, but on Salah- I think we were all disregarding the Chelsea stint. "Nah, feck 'em!", was the general consensus and we all looked forward to it.

Some predicted he would score goals("pace goals" as the blue twat called it! ) and some just thought- "a few goals and pace and a bit of trickery on the wing is alright- nothing wrong with that at all.. what with Mane on the other wing?."
You could see that he suited us and he suited the league.. AND he was bought for a wide role so there wasn't much that could go wrong..
All-in-all, a sensible purchase and nothing wrong with it at all...

Forward a few months later and he has everyone stunned. The roaches in the media are already turning out stories about "how long can Liverpool possibly hold onto Salah before Real Madrid or Bayern Munich decides they want him?" etc.
Apparently, Real has already decided to "keep a watch" on Salah. Well, he's all over the telly, you twats!

Piss off! He's OURS!
Mo Salah, Mo goals!

I know he's been given the 'Horse with No Name' song now, but I always thought 'Magical Mystery Tour' would sound good for him - Mo Salahhhh, the man for Egypt always scores'...

[Gutzon Borglum]

To the tune of 'yellow submarine'..

Mo Sa-lah

The Egyptian goal machine
The Egyptian goal machine
