Mo Salah

[Shaggy]

Laughed at the "A reputation redeemed" comment, and the line in the article about Salah being a proven flop.

Is like his form during the three seasons before he joined us does more than counter his short time at Chelsea years ago

Totally agree. This bubble some people live in...ridiculous.

Seems that way.

The BT co-commentator said something like: ‘Salah was bought for his assists, Liverpool weren’t expecting goals from him’

He was near enough 1 in 2 in both seasons for Roma in Serie A.

I think because we tracked him at Basel as we were linked beforehand. Chelsea seemed to sign him just to stop us, and they hover up young talent and spit out. There's no great shame going there and not making it, Lukaku and Debruyne are doing alright for themselves. Sturridge as well

I’d say Salahs supposed failure at Chelsea reflects more on Mourinho and his inability to use him rather than him not being good enough over here

[Norbs]

Mourinho has always had the funds to employ a scattergun approach to transfers. Him and Pep are priviledged dicks

[Big-Red-Ed]

He never got a fair go at Chelsea but has been everywhere ever since. Says more about Chelsea's transfer policies. Look at De Bruyne arguably the best player in the premiership right now and also a Chelsea reject!

maureen has a history of letting great young players go just so he can play the more established hoofers.

So glad he listened to my advice and became more clinical.

Imagine where he'd be if someone just told him that years ago!!

I say he's been a victim for years, I'd I bet I could have been somewhere else if I were told! #Motoo

Mohamed Salah: Liverpool's best goalscorer since Luis Suarez?

Liverpool appear to have found their new Luis Suarez.

Just three months into the season and Mohamed Salah is already on the verge of becoming the Reds' best goalscorer since the Uruguay international left after another impressive performance at the weekend.

Salah - Liverpool's best signing since Suarez?

Was Liverpool's purchase of Salah for £34m the signing of the summer? The Egyptian winger is certainly making a strong case to suggest he was.

Sent packing by Chelsea in 2015 - first on loan to Roma before joining the Italian club permanently last year - the 25-year-old has returned to England a completely different player.

He scored two goals in 13 appearances for the Blues but in just three months at Liverpool he is already on the verge of becoming the club's leading scorer in a single season since Luis Suarez's final campaign for the Reds in 2013-14.

Suarez hit 31 goals in that campaign and no player has scored more than 14 in a season since. Salah is already on 12 and we're only at the start of November.

Liverpool's top scorers since Suarez left in 2014

Season Player Goals
2016-17 Philippe Coutinho 14
2016-17 Sadio Mane 13
2015-16 Daniel Sturridge 13
2014-15 Steven Gerrard 13
2017-18 Mohamed Salah 12
2016-17 Roberto Firmino 12
2015-16 Philippe Coutinho 12

Dig a little deeper and Salah's stats are even more impressive.

He has scored more goals after 17 games than Suarez and Fernando Torres had at the same stage of their Liverpool careers, despite not playing as an out-and-out striker unlike those two.

Meanwhile, his three assists means he has played a part in 15 goals this season. Again, more than either Suarez or Torres.

And perhaps the worrying thing for Salah's future opponents is that he should arguably have scored more goals than he has.

He missed a penalty against Huddersfield last month and in just 11 Premier League games he has had 37 shots on goal, 24 of those on target.

[RedReet]

I argued that Mane, Firmino and Salah could get 60 goals between them this year. I didn't expect Mo to get 50 of them though.

With a 2 week break, he's going to destroy Southampton. Hopefully have Phil back too.

[The_weatherman]

All from open play as well. What a signing.

[Fosterbloke]

I hope he doesn't score too many!

[Norbs]

I hope he gets 100
