We need to talk about Salah

The thing is at his best Salah doesn't need any assistance getting goals. He can create magic all by himself. But right now he needs Keita, Shaqiri and Firmino to be in the pitch and improve their performances. I do think last season was a freak season for him to some extent, but we can certainly demand more than what we are getting. We can say that for all of the attackers to be honest.

I reckon Salah's issues are mental and psychological, all beginning with Ramos to the WC and the Egyptian FA.
I wouldn't go quite that far (doesn't he still wear strapping on his shoulder?) but I do think those factors apply. However IMO the little bugger's tough enough to get past them and, when he does, the rest had better watch out. He's never stopped putting a shift in and getting into good positions. It'll come.
He's still Salah and that finish was brilliant yesterday.... Can see us going on a roll now. Had some hard games recently and look where we are.
I think he does put pressure on himself you can see him telling himself off when he misplaced a pass or bad touch etc. But that's good he wants to do everything perfectly.

I like talking about Mo when he's just scored the winning goal in a match to keep us tied at the top of the league.
Agreed. Some of the chances he's missed this season have seemed to me to go begging because he was stopping and thinking about them instead of just "letting the force be with him". That finish yesterday saw the return of the instinctive Mo Salah of last season and it's no accident it ended up in the back of the net. Me likey.
Just as an aside, Shaqiri's defo after a first team place in his own right. Me likey that too.
Yeah, that was as crisp a finish as you'd like from Salah, not the sort of overthought stabbed effort we've seen from him this season so far. He's going to be grand.
The fact he’s nowhere his best but still easily our best attacker speaks volumes for the man.
The ball he played for Robbo to bang in a low cross late in the second half was sublime and absolutely inch perfect.
I thought he had overcooked it initially.
He certainly has the defense breaking pass in his locker
Count: he does, and I reckon he's revelling in the chance to use it. At Stoke the others around him were generally not good enough for him to get the opportunity - he was constantly having to do it on his own and, by the look of it, that's basically why he downed tools towards the end of his time there.
On a side note, Paul Merson sure do talk a lot of shite doesnt he ?
Yikes! And this is for a Halloween party???
A little girl risked offending people by dressing up as Liverpool star Mo Salah for Halloween .
Madison McGuane, nine, used fake tan to darken her skin, placed a black curly wig over her 'snow white' hair, drew on a beard and wore a full Liverpool to look like the Egypt foward.
Reds fanatic Madison, from Limerick, Ireland, donned the controversial costume for a Halloween party, rejecting traditional spooky outfits to transform herself into her 'idol' Salah.
But Madison's mum Marion, 39, and the makeup artist behind the look insisted it did not cause any offence.
Tammy Meehan, a special-effects makeup artist, helped create Madison’s look.
She used fake tan for Madison’s body, special-effects makeup to get her skin tone right and a black palette and eyeliner to create the beard and bridges.
Tammy, 34, said: “Marion contacted me to do Madison’s makeup as Mo Salah, I looked through his pictures to get an idea of what to do and I shaped out his face, tried to get his skin tone as good as I could.
“It took me about 25 minutes and then she was out playing with her football straight away.

I thought you could choose what offends you and shut down the 'perpetrator' without explanation?
I find your use of the word perpetrator very offensive.
That is happening in North American universities but I am hoping for some kind of backlash.
I think that's one of the reasons Trump got elected.
I wouldn't thank God, half the ten commandments are about not causing offence. Anyway, this seems like a good opportunity to reminisce about another Liverpool striker who was honoured with blackface:
George Orwell c.1945: At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to state this or that or the other, but it is “not done”… Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.
I think the Mo Salah kid is pretty cute, and also has had some thought/ skill/ effort put into it.
Bet Mo loves it!
Bet Mo loves it!
Is that cause you’re sexist?
