I don't think the comparison was intended to be as comprehensive as that. I thought it was a reference to a new signing having a very good first season.

Mo Salah- he's world class

Brendan was talking about Salah’s astonishing debut. And I made a crappy half hearted lazy reference to Berger’s debut too. Not their playing styles which are SO obviously different.

Just popped back into this thread to reassert my delight when we bought him and my wish we had got him straight from Basel. I'm so rarely correct on anything to do with football that I just have to!
That's my philosophy too.
There's a few posts on here suggesting he's not.
I reckon he'd walk into the starting eleven of at least a dozen of whoever ends up being in the last sixteen of the CL. If that ain't world class I'm not cooking your dinner or giving you a wank because your standards are the issue, not the product
Do you give Champions League standards wanks?
I still don't get the comparison. Berger had a great debut game and then was typically up and down. He scored 9 goals in total that season, which was a career best that he matched twice for us. I was a fan, but it's not nearly in the same league as what Salah has produced.
This immediately made me think about what a wank from Klopp would be like - there's no gentle build up, just full on top speed geggen pressing. While you may blow your load really quickly, you will surely end up with a bruised, sore lad.
Just saying ...
I liked Berger. I remember that goal against Derby, must have been around 20 passes.
And if you don't blow your load quickly he won't know how to change tactics so you'll just end up a with a bruised lad and blue balls.
Worst thing is, if Matip gets injured he will switch to 3 at the back.
You guys are a bad influence.
What about up top!?!?
Lets not get ahead of ourselves guys - not even half a season yet - what is to say if the goals he has scored are the only ones this season ? - I agree with @Kay Age El view of what 'World Class' is. You have to consistently do that 'thing' for a number of seasons, with the hope you can win something significant before being crowned 'world class'. Very view players have done that 'thing' other than Suarez in the Ronaldo/Messi era.
So there are only 3 world class players? Jesus wept.
It’s like when Loki arrogantly proclaims ‘I am a god, you dull creature. Bow before me!’ only to have Hulk hilariously smash him into smithereens and crush his ego with a ‘puny god’ retort.
In the end titles are nothing but man-made labels to fill someone’s boredom and pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

The other one that gets me is the use of the word 'form'. When Rooney scores a goal it's because he's amazing, and has always been amazing. ROOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!
When Salah or similar does it it's because 'he's in red hot form.'
Load off fucking bollocks.

Does this mean Rooney is 'world class' and Salah 'in form'?

He's scoring all sorts of goals, defenders already have the fear when he gets the ball, allowing him to exploit them further.
He's not as good as Suarez in terms of sheer brilliance, but he's proving as effective. Based on what I've seen this season he comfortably ticks the world-class box for me.

And then you'd get bummed almost immediately
