Healing race relations since 1892
Yeah only we're at the very same risk.
The tapping up has begun.
It's awarded to the player who scores the most goals, so all of your other hysterical, non-existent criteria aren't relevant
Brendan. No matter how much you want to dress it up, sugar-coat it and call it a doughnut, you just got whooshed mate.
Very possible. I didn't read any of the other posts and just responded to that one in good faith. Or bad faith.
So I watched this video and wrote down which player assisted Salah for every one of his first 30 goals for Liverpool (feels surreal to write this for a player who just arrived last summer). Here are the results:
Self-created goals: 8
Firmino: 6 assists
Mane: 4 assists
Milner: 3 assists
Coutinho: 2 assists
Can: 2 assists
Gini, Hendo, Trent, Moreno, Ox: 1 assist each
A couple of conclusions:
- Phil's importance as a "chance creator" for Salah is a bit of a myth. His most important attacking link-ups by some distance are his front 3 partners, Firmino and Mane. The evidence of the last few games post-Phil confirms this.
- "Self-created" accounts for 27% of his goals, which shows that he is much more than just a "finisher" or "poacher." Maybe some day I'll compare his stats with Suarez, but I think it's going to be similarly around 25-30% of "self-created" goals from Luis. This is a mark of a top striker.
- Firmino is an awesome partner to play with. If there is one player whose absence could negatively affect Salah's production, I think it's Bobby.

I think it's safe to say, that Barcelona got the wrong man.. from their perspective.
MO SALAH, SALAH, YOU ARE THE BEST, HURRAH

Set him free.
Yawn, change the record
Guys, I mean thank you, but really why all this praise? All I did here was count the assists, that’s not so hard. I really don’t consider myself one of the more knowledgeable posters about football here; I just tend to write long posts and try my best to be objective, that’s all.
Not sure they need Salah so much since he has a similar movement to Messi (cutting in on his left) and they would just get in each other’s way. But yeah, I was just thinking that Coutinho is not quite a player who makes everyone around him better; he is someone who needs others to provide him a platform to shine. Integrating him into Barca team that’s built all around supporting Messi won’t be easy and so far he’s struggling.
There are some truly excellent posters on this site, people with incredible knowledge and insight from whom I learn a lot, but you sir are right at the top. Thank you.
It's almost like coutinho is a shithouse who can't kick on...
I'd lay odds that Suarez' figure for "self-created" will be higher than that. Excellent post though, as others have rightly said.
Whoosh.
I can count to 5, but I cannot count above 4 it seems..
The full single
That's what you say now, but then maybe this summer Redcafe or Rawk will come in with a bid for you and you'll down tools and throw a strop ....
LFC's version of TY with all that merchandise. Talking about TY, here's him arguing with a 12 year old
Because you're our Tomkins. Except you don't write a 20 page essay and dress it up. You call it as you see it and 9 and a half times out of 10 you're spot on. You're probably one of the most knowledgeable fans on this forum not just about lfc but other leagues. If the Lizards sold you for a profit we'd be fucked.
Yeah Rurik - You are certainly one of the posters I'd like to rim until you pass out. (That's a term of endearment by the way!) Seriously though, I love what you write. Intelligent, informed and well researched good honest knowledge. This site is lucky to have you contribute. Stay great X L
