Poll Salah Vs Mane - there can be only one

[manwithnoname]

No it isn't. We were conceding in preseason and the early games with Allison, it's probably more down to early season and getting up to speed fitness wise after such a hectic season, it's hard to maintain that level of energy, pressing and concentration for long periods of time. We're still defensively very good in most basic ways, we're organised, we have players who commit to throwing their bodies on the lines to prevent a chance and we're generally a hardworking team.

Aside from the odd gaff early on, Adrian has been a good stand in, us conceding more is nothing to do with the goalkeeping situation.

I think we'd have conceded less with Alisson in goal for the simple reason that he's a much better goalkeeper

The synergy between Bobby, Sadio and Mo is the elephant in the room that need addressing. All 3 contributes to each other. We can't function as well without one or two of the 3.

Fair play to Adrian, who overall performed excellently when called upon, but those stats show how far ahead Alisson is:

Well, that was a "match winning" goal, but it was a penalty....and I know who I chalk that one down to....

No disrespect, but you would have to be some stats obsessed nerd to care about that.

To care about the context of goals scored? Actually pretty important tbf.

Mané is an all round superstar. So much to his game.

While Mane is working his ass off defending low in our half, Salah is hanging out by the midfield circle waiting for a counterattack. Sadio is so important to what we do and clearly the one we would keep of the 2.

Mane is a fighter, a real warrior....battles everyone and anyone all over the pitch.

Luis Suárez - 82 goals in 133 games.
Fernando Torres - 81 goals in 142 games.
Mohamed Salah - 80 goals in 121 games.

Wow, Salah has been some signing, those are God-tier numbers (as the kids say).

I really want him to get 20 more goals this season if he leaves. He deserves to be in the 100 goal club

Why would he leave?

 

[Dreambeliever]

Why would he leave?

He’s won the two major trophies in England.
His dream is to play for Madrid.

He barely played for Chelsea

His dream is to play for Madrid according to who?

His dream is to play for Madrid according to who?

It comes from goal.com (https://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/sal...o-quash-real-madrid/mzvgipw6fzg4102rlr2j1jrxf)

This is the headline -
Salah reiterates Liverpool dream to quash Real Madrid rumours

You can see how some (well, DB) may be confused 😵

 

[doctor_mac]

The only links I have ever seen with a name attached is the likes of Mido or the Egypt national coach saying he could or should play for Madrid and even these ‘links’ all predated us winning the biggest club competition in the world.

 

[Dreambeliever]

He barely played for Chelsea

I’m referring to in the summer after we’ve won the league

Are you a betting man?

Are you a cashing out man?

He is.

That's quite remarkable.

 

[doctor_mac]

Remember this guy? Nobody's laughing now lad!

 

[manwithnoname]

Can you imagine that lad chewing your ear off in a pub after a few lines and a pill?
He looks like he could talk for about 12 hours without stopping.

Yeah, I think he's probably best taken in small doses.
