Mo Salah

[RichC]

I don't give a ****, he's a Liverpool player and he's a diving Prick. He gets nothing because he has a well earned reputation for diving. Can question why others aren't, but that's for officials to answer, he represents us and it is embarrassing to see. I don't want that **** at this club.

Calm down treacle.

[Irishnev]

He gets some goals but he's hardly carrying the team.

SOME goals - google “only Mo Salah” ...... in terms of output he is carrying the team

He is literally our only goal threat. If he doesn’t score we don’t score.

He’s one of the few who have delivers this season.

Indeed, without his goalscoring we'd be bottom half. The diving prick but brilliant player.

So do you want him or not?

Sexually?

Football or in the bedroom

I don't really like it but what he is often doing is knocking the ball past someone and running into them. Last week Barnes did that for Leicester and got the freekick that got them the equalizer, today Calvert-Lewin got a pen for doing the same thing. I don't think either of those are fouls but if you are seeing them awarded, aren't you going to give it a try?

Similarly when you look at the pens awarded against us, the one today, the one against Robertson for minimal contact on Welbeck, the one for handball by Gomez, even with VAR (I believe it looked at all those 3 and I don't believe any were pens) the system is fallible, until that is sorted out players are going to 'roll the dice'.

I'm not saying two wrongs make a right and I don't like it but you are clearly at a disadvantage if you don't do what everyone else is doing, feel the contact and go down...

25 goals so far in all comps. What a fella!

That finish last night is a bit of a trademark for him. It almost looks mis-hit or dragged, but he has produced it many, many times. The obvious shot for the left footer is high to the top right, but that’s the easiest one for the keeper. The trickiest is low to the bottom left, which is the finish he goes for. Pulling the shot back across your body and keeping it low that way must make it easier to miss or miss hit, but he has it down to a tee.

[Doc_Piptorious]

It is almost like a snooker shot the way he does it. Just so precise and simple looking but try doing it yourself under pressure and you fail more often than not.

[BobTheCharmer]

I think his shooting is pretty average at times. Hit enough and one will eventually go in.

There was a game last year in Europe his shooting was rubbish and then he scored from an absolute impossible position and angle. He scores the goals you wouldn't expect and misses the sort a rush or fowler would score with their eyes shut. Amazing ability for sure.

[RichC]

I sort of know what you mean with his finishing but his ability to get into the positions to have an effort at goal is remarkable.

Considering he can be a little wasteful from time to time his goalscoring record is amazing.

119 goals in 191 appearances
90 in the PL from 135 games
25 in Europe from 44 games
4 in the FA cup from 6 games.

No goals in the LC or other games though

Pheonomenal record really and he probably could have had more.

Lucky to have him and that's an understatement.

Think you are way off there.

His conversion rate has actually improved this season on last season's (and he was still pretty good in conversion terms then) and his goals to shots ratio in general is well above average.

Can see why you would think it though as sometimes it feels like he is the only one taking a shot in games and it feels like he takes more shots than he actually does to get a goal.

I do sometimes wonder what he would be like as an out and out finisher though, just to touch on your Fowler/Rush comment. We rarely get to see him waiting for a poacher's chance as he is normally driving in at goal from further out but I suspect his talent is such that he could very easily adapt his game to living in the 18 yard box and snaffling up cnces along with making them for himself.

For someone who's not a true striker, his goal scoring record is remarkable really.
