A goal scoring machine. Breaking all sorts of records without even being a striker.

5 season wonder.

Does that put him level with Stevie in CL?

In goals for Liverpool, yes. He has 2 elsewhere as well.

Wonderful achievement to have scored in five consecutive Champions league games. Long may you run, our King.

We as fans should know by know that while he might not look like a 'striker' on the formation graphic they show, he's certainly been a striker when it comes to role for most of his time here.

He's close to two major club records with him only a few from breaking Fowler's record for league goals scored in the last 30 years and tied with Gerrard for most European goals.

It's crazy really. When all is said and done he'll hold loads of those goalscoring records. Not bad for a fella who I thought was coming in to be a rotational option in that forward line. He's barely missed a game in nearly six years here.

No, he hasn't. A right forward yes, but definitely not an out and out striker.

Principal goalscorer, maybe, but striker? Are you ignoring how much time he spends out by the touchline? No going there to help out, but positioning himself there as a standard?

It's hard to think of many traditional strikers who do that.

Cristiano Ronaldo spends a fair bit of time by the touchline.

Salah with a months rest is going to be fun in the 2nd half of the season.

He's gonna score 35+ this season.

Both of his goals today oozed confidence.

Exactly. He's never been the same since AFCON blah blah blah. 14 goals in all competitions now?

What are we? About a third of the way through?

Keith Lard · « **Reply #24826 on:** November 6, 2022, 07:17:13 pm »

So glad to see Mo starting to link up effectively with Nunez. Helping me to forget about Mane finally.

That Rangers game at Ibrox felt like a real turning point

DelTrotter · « **Reply #24827 on:** November 6, 2022, 07:18:24 pm »

Beautiful finishes. Incredible goal return considering how badly we've used him at times this season. One of our best ever.

This view has only been confirmed as the season has unfolded. He is one of the greatest players of all time. And he plays for us.

He's enjoying his football again 🙏

At one point in the first half I thought he was going to mark the anniversary of Rushie's 4 goals by scoring 4 himself.

Still, the next quiet game he has he'll be 'fucking awful' and 'shite since AFCON' again. No one learns. Ever.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #24833 on:** November 6, 2022, 10:47:39 pm »

His totals are insane two behind King Kenny now, I think. One of the best players I have ever seen.

kj999 · « **Reply #24834 on:** November 7, 2022, 12:36:35 am »

Some absolute bollocks spouted in this thread in the last couple of months. Bordering on disrespectful. Mo is going to go down as one of our all time greats, and rightly so. Absolutely love him.

markmywords · « **Reply #24835 on:** November 7, 2022, 12:44:57 am »

Mo salah is scoring at a slightly better rate this season(approx 3 in 4) than he did in all comps last yr (approx 3 in 5) and he is doing it in a struggling side.

So far it is his best scoring rate since his debut season, which was approx 4 in 5

The key is playing him in the middle. Playing him in the wide role currently minimize his impact.

Agreed, he makes finishing look so easy whereas it is not. His first goal was effortless and clinical. His second goal was cool and he knew what to do.
I would argue that he was MOTM today......not for his effort etc but for the way that he finished both chances.

Not many players in the world can finish like Mo can consistently.

Michael Owen was raving about his close control in the post match analysis. The tee-up for the first goal was sublime. The second touch off his thigh to put the ball into his stride for the second goal took him away from the chasing defenders.
