Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[classycarra]

Everyone associated with the Egyptian national team and their FA are beyond unprofessional

Hopefully this bears out though, and he gets to recover and be available and fit for Paris.

[Dench57]

He's talked about Madrid publicly. We can only hope that that Salah turns up against them.

I'd argue we haven't seen that Salah in a while.

[kaesarsosei]

The massive problem we have, and why even when Salah is in poor form he's essential, is that we have 7 forwards at the club including Origi and Minamino and I have never seen a single one of them have a decent game on our right aside from Salah since he joined the club.

That is a fair comment.

As odd as it may sound I think Ox is best suited after Salah but no chance he plays CL final in that position.

Have Taki and Diaz been tried on the right for a few games?. Find it strange Jota seems to be so ineffective from the right for a two footed player? Mane is the best of the lot on right after Salah.. but then he has been  revelation in Bobbys spot....

Which is why a pacy high calibre left footed forward is needed

[kaesarsosei]

Mane was originally on our right and did well there pre-Salah but I can't remember him being tried or having a good game there since. And as others have said, he has been so good centrally that I would be loathe to disrupt the team further by moving him.

AOC or Elliott would probably be our best bet, but that would be a massive call from Klopp.

Another thing is, if it was a usual season with a 3 month summer break you might take a chance on Salah in the final, but if he ends up with a bad tear it could disrupt the start of next season which KOs barely 2 months later. Any serious muscle injury would rule him out of preseason.

“Of course, all good,” says Mo Salah when asked if he will be fit for the CL final in Paris. #LFC

Raphinha for £25m.

Enter the Trent!

And you thought Trent could only be discussed as a midfielder! Oh no, we can also discuss ad infinitum his latest incarnation as a right-sided attacker whipping dem crosses into the box for our other forwards to latch onto.

[BigRedFeetBed]

Could Harvey do a job there? Maybe try against Southampton?

[The G in Gerrard]

Raphinha for £25m.

His form has been poor for ages?

[PaulF]

He was teasing Tsimi a few seconds later, pretending to have not seen him and passing the trophy the other way.

I was thinking how relaxed and happy he looked after the game, it was great to see.

Sorry pal. You e got that all wrong . Salah doesn't pass.

[newterp]

His form has been poor for ages?

Can it not get better under a manager like Klopp?

[rocco]

Raphinha for £25m.

More like £50m

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Or Taki

No scans for either Salah or Van Dijk today with #LFC still confident both players avoided real injury at Wembley.

[TepidT2O]

Well that suggests less than a grade one strain…


Otherwise you’d do a scan.

Have you taken over Welshy's job? Thought you were a P.E  teacher.

R.E. I think.

He’s had a word with the big man.

[The G in Gerrard]

Yes but there's some on here that criticise Salah for his "current form" imagine buying someone who's been poor since Christmas

[jillcwhomever]

I thought it was science or perhaps English grammar teacher, watch your sentences.

Strange how an RE teacher has two legs, while a PE teacher has only one.

[Samie]

Maybe Teps is like "old School" and teaches everything.

[Sangria]

Beware of those who teach English and Chemistry. If you misbehave, they might sentence you to meth.

[Samie]

I had my Geography teacher who was the Head of the Humanities Department "teach"  Woodwork for the whole school year give or take a couple of weeks.

Meh.

Pretty sure Tepid is a Chemistry teacher

[TepidT2O]

Chemistry, but my granddad was an English teacher … before he became a head and set up Milbank college.. so I get my grammar nazi from him.

My sister is a physio though, and it’s basically biology which is a doddle

on a semi serious note, for any resident Docs in the house.. at what point does scanning players become an issue for long term radiation
side effects?

If it’s an ultra sound scan?  You can do what the hell you like

[capt k]

oh righto, was thinking it was MRI or CT scans.

[TepidT2O]

oh righto, was thinking it was MRI or CT scans.

MRI would also be zero risk.  CT you would want to limit, but you wouldn’t use that for muscle strains etc

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Salah and Van Dijk avoided injury at Wembley but says #LFC will likely take a cautious approach with both at Southampton. “They are both okay. So, the target would be for both that they can be involved again on the weekend.”

Ah cheers, I saw it on the club Instagram initially so assumed it was one of the free ones.

A third Golden Boot for Mo.

Incredible player.
