This video makes me so happy. This guy is, on current form, one of the best players in the world. And he's ours.

You don't think he's improving in that aspect? I do. And thank god he did after he joined us. Because he would have been 100m+ otherwise.Yeah but if only he improves his finishing........ then he’ll really be world class

Careful now ... there is real danger of opening the Pandora's box, which is an SCM debate on how to define "world class", to be closely followed on a heated discussion on how many angels will fit on the head of a pin.
Even though he didn't score against Brighton, he was impressive in other ways. The way he created Firmino's 2nd was absolutely sublime – only a player at the top of his confidence could pull something like this off: running at speed directly into the crowd of defenders, evading their challenges and making them believe he intends to beat them all by himself, then at the last moment releasing the ball perfectly onto an unmarked teammate. Messi pretty much patented that move. That combination of arrogance and vision is so, so hard to find and, like I said, only a player full of confidence can possibly pull it off.
He got lucky though - because he lost the ball for a second but because the defense was back tracking, he managed to regain control and set up Mane. It happened later - where his lack of close control stopped a quick attacking move.
He's not really though, is he?
He's been superb so far but so have many others and not produced it long term.
I highly doubt he'll be a one season wonder but I want to see him do it for a couple of years and against Europes best before I put up there with the very best.
Still been amazing mind
I think we've had individually better players in recent years; Suarez, Torres, Coutinho, Mane, etc. (Although not much better really), BUT...
I can't remember us buying someone who fits into our side and style of play better than this guy. It's completely remarkable. It's like he was born to play in Klopp's counter-attacking 4-3-3.
Fair play to the transfer committee - we give them enough bloody stick all summer long - cos this guy's as good a signing as we've ever made on the basis of his first half season.
Mane got pretty close last season in that respect, he fitted us perfectly and looked a real threat. He's not quite got back to that again this season, because of fitness and a shift in position, but him and Salah have both been perfect fits.
Kudos to Klopp and the scouting/committee.
It's only now that I don't miss Suarez.
Until Salah arrived, even with Mane, we didn't have any player who just made watching us a joy.
Admittedly it's not just him, he's the cherry on the top of our attacking cake, but watching that pace is like playing on the ps4 but in real life. So many of his goals are taken straight from your fifa & pes memories it's untrue.
Plus Suarez is fucked now thanks to being overplayed when recovering from that knee injury, which helps a bit too.
I had my doubts about the signing TBH (not that I was alone in that) but I said I'd back him once he became a Liverpool player, and man, he's repaid that in spades.
Perhaps there was some concerns about his slightly meek personality and his lack of success at chelsea, and I do recall someone saying they’d watched him play one game for Roma and he took a clattering and then hid (might be misremembering that), but overall it was positive I think
I think that was Ryan. I think there were really quite a few who were dubious about him. The nays outnumbered the ayes.

Egyptian Berger

Berger wasn't even that fast was he? I certainly wouldn't compare Salah to him either.He's nothing like Berger really. Berger was direct and not particularly skillful in terms of taking people on, he could crack a shot from distance.
Salah is great on and off the ball and with all different types of goals.
