Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[kop306]

will be interesting to see how many minutes mo will play next thursday

[Garlic Red]

It’s a testament to him and his teammates that even when he’s stinking the gaff out he still gets chances and they still keep creating for him. He’s had a few of those over the years but he still finds a way to decide games. His mentality is second to none.

In the words of The Bangles, "Fast fucking Egyptian!" .

[jckliew]

On his day, he would have had a hat-trick of goals and hat-trick of assists. The one that he didn't square to Nunez and later on to Lucho on the counter were criminal decisions. And yet, what a game he had!

Yeah. He could have assisted 2.

[afc tukrish]

Yeah. He could have assisted 2.

Should have passed to Mané...

[jckliew]

Should have passed to Mané...

That too.

I was really surprised with some of the stuff I was reading about him on social media - I’m sure it was just the frustration of a difficult game getting to people, but I thought he was on it from the first minute. Sure, he missed some chances, but he misses chances every game. The numbers speak for themselves. The amount of matches that he has won for us with winning goals is only surpassed by a handful of people in the history of our club. Just a wonderful player who we are so lucky to have.

The thoughts that went racing through my head during the Brighton game.

“Man he can be  selfish, I love him 😁”

He just has this amazing quality to keep believing in himself and keep going and going and going, and keep getting into killer positions and make killer runs. And despite all this selfish talk, he still makes more assists than anyone else. Just a supremely elite mentality.

I love the way he'll just have a rueful smile on his face after he misses a chance, he knows another one at least will come along and that he's likely to score one.

I don't really see him as selfish. He is a supremely confident finisher and if a chance comes his way he is going to attempt to take it, more so if he hasn't already scored. Once he scores, which he almost always does, he is always looking for the assist.

I agree … you don’t get the number of assists he does and be a selfish player. But he can be selfish when it comes to wanting a goal at times, and I mean that in the good, necessary way which you need to be. You also don’t get the number of goals he gets without having that streak. Unique combo really

Torres still hanging around the club.

Now imagine Mo providing assists to Torres

[Ray K]

Torres clearly told him to stop being a scruf
 

[Zlen]

New contract?

[Qston]

New contract?

Yup. The new bond after Aaron Taylor-Johnson distanced himself from the speculation. Mo has got this

training sessions are getting way too soft.

Haha good luck running in those sponers.. Like when you'd forget your trainers for PE and you'd be in your shoes, slippy!

[farawayred]

New contract?

It's for the James Bond video.

He's playing in that on Sunday. That's how close the United defenders will be getting to him.

[MonsLibpool]

He's in poor form. I wouldn't start him against United because Mo Salah in poor form takes a lot away from our attack. When he's not on the pitch, our players are more willing to think for themselves.

Eh? Some of his passes to create chances was great, we were just collectively shit till the 65th minute.

Yep, offering very little. Really important for us in the run in so need him on it.

[MonsLibpool]

He's just not playing well and the other players are leaning on him. We're not Mo Salah FC, that's why we have a squad

[JP!]

He was crap.  But I suspect it won't last long.

In the interest of a debate, have we looked a better team without him at times this season?  The period with Nunez/Jota/Diaz/Gakpo all available we were absolutely flying.

[ac]

Kudos to Klopp to have the bravery to sub him.

[Coolie High]

You can be delusional some times, I guess that applies for us all, but that’s a silly comment, given Salahs record against united and his overall level.

We certainly didn't miss  him that much.

He was poor in the last game at OT so what's your point?

Delusional.

[Coolie High]

Bizarre because he’s been back for three games, he scored against United, scored his last game and the game before he got injured he scored and assisted within 45 mins.

Another scoreboard analyst 

Agree to disagree.  Bye.

[Coolie High]

He scored a goal, how poor can he be, he wasn’t poor he just wasn’t anything special but he played his part in what should have been a win for us.

He’s had a couple poor games where he still contributes only a absolute mad man will bench your best player in one of the biggest games of the season against a team he has like 12 goals and 4 assists in the same amount of games.

Lucky Klopp is not a mad man.

[Coolie High]

Another scoreboard analyst

Scoreboard analyst? What the hell are you on about Salah stills create more chances than all our other attackers even when having a bad game, he’s had two average Pl games one where he scored, that’s not a good enough reason to drop him, anybody who replaces him will see a drop off.

If we were going to bench him it would be for a game like today, not against an Arsenal United City Villa or Spurs.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

So are you saying you'd start Harvey Elliott ahead of Mohamed Salah? Or Cody Gakpo from the right? Come off it.

If we want to have a serious discussion about not starting Salah at Old Trafford, then that will have to wait until next season after we sign a credible alternative who can play to a high level off the right flank.

[Red Beret]

He's clearly done, exactly the same way Robbo is. We need to offload the pair of them in the summer.

I'd start Diaz on the right and Gakpo would come in.

It's nothing personal but our attack looks better without him atm. Saying he's in poor form is not an attack but Rawk eh?

[LallanaInPyjamas]

I'd start Diaz on the right and Gakpo would come in.

It's nothing personal but our attack looks better without him atm.

So you'd move someone who has finally got somewhere back to his best lately out of his best position, and bring in a player who has made Salah's last two performances look like Messi at times this season?
