Mo Salah

[SB]

I'm prepared for Mo going now. He looks like he's starting to decline. My overriding concern is that we have no replacement. His leaving (or staying and being poor) leads to a massive drop of quality in our front three. I has hoped Nunez would step into shouldering that load but he hasn't and probably won't. Elliott is miles away from what Salah was. Diaz is good but no prolific and Jota is a crock. I have a feeling this will be expensive to sort out.

He’s still doing a job but he’s not the habitual match winner that he was.

Still a brilliant ball to Szobo who really should be slotting that in. Szobo missed two critical chances that cost us the game. One of our key failures on the day along with Nunez and Quansah (yeah sorry, I won't be forgiving him just yet for that, it will take a few more days).

Yeah my son played with a kid today who won’t eat or drink between 4am and 8pm. It looks very tough at junior level, no idea how they do it at elite. Are the athletes affected allowed water when it’s for their job???

You can make an exception if you are a professional athlete or where it directly affects your job performance (as well as other groups where it's a health risk such as pregnant women)

Not sure what Mo is doing, but he has the option to eat and drink

Seems impossible that he could play with it being, basically 12 hours since he had any water, without any calories is surely hard enough.

My guess is he takes minimal water, and based on the Sheff U game is fasting.

Today's the last day anyway so hopefully we see a firing Salah until the rest of the season.

Or a tubby one

For Salah 'tubby' is seeing two less of his sharp six pack.

I can assure all the Saudi decision-makers that Mr. Mo Salah is a truly fantastical football player with many glorious years left in his career, and there should be no hesitation in writing a cheque to L.F.C for £100 million pounds.

He's looked off the pace for a while now. Difficult to write him off given his previous but signs looking ominous that he's falling away now.

[Exiled_red]

He's not been the same since coming back from injury

[BobTheCharmer]

Criminal that he wasn't taken off. Could have tried Diaz on the right. Mix things up. Too rigid, too predictable. New manager can't come soon enough.

He's been ****e since he came back - Drop off has been immense, his numbers are brilliant don't get. me wrong bit seeing him in the last few days tells me something isn't quite right - Completely off the pace

It's not just Salah in front of goal though, his passing and decision making is really poor. So much goes through him that if he's off the whole team is off. When he's not on the field we're forced to make different choices and that can have a positive effect

Happened last time too.

I think we need to think about that next time we bliw 300k a week on a player
