And those City defenders were twice the players that Peter Reid, Terry Fenwick and perhaps Terry Butcher ever were.
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date
I didn't say that. I said he'll never win one despite all his best efforts
What part of poaching goals in the most functional team in the world while consistently having the highest xG makes him "much better" exactly?
this is insanity
If you say so, Tim.
I do
You grouped all the cnuts together?
His quality makes him to play in Bayern Munich.
Where do you want him to play? Frankfurt? Koln? Bremen?
Best players play for best teams, period.
Why Ronaldo went for Madrid and not Granada, Sevilla,Villareal, instead?
I will be waiting for Cristiano to win a WC with non-favorites Portugal to show how good he actually is.
I think you’re forgetting who the poster is.
Glad to see some Liverpool fans forced to retract their Mane V Salah comments. Both on the pitch via the eye test and in depth statistical analysis has always shown what a devastating final third player he is both creating chances and scoring goals. Mane is excellent and has definitely had seasons as good if not better and been almost unplayable at times, but Salah has that sheer relentless consistency.
No he is not. Salah is an absolute beast of a player doing it in a much better league. What a goal that was against City.
Can't believe people are comparing Salah's goal to Maradona v England.
Messi scores these type of goals almost ever season (Getafe, Madrid UCL semi final, Bilbao etc). First let that goal be better than Messi's and then we can talk about Maradona's.
What people fail too consider about Maradona's goal is the horrible pitch he scored it on, the ball was bobbling around the whole time he was dribbling. To be able to control the ball at the speed he was dribbling, and having to navigate past multiple defenders, while the ball was constantly popping up due to the pitch, was incredible
Regarding him being the best player in the world, Lewandowski is certainly still the favorite when you consider the whole year. If you want to consider only this season, why are proper ignoring Benzema in this? He's having a better season than Salah.

A reminder that Lewandowski scores goals internationally too.
He's got no problem doing that.
Just a little over 70 CL goals and the top all time scorer in the CL behind Messi and Ronaldo
He also drove away Lukaku causing Chelsea to spend a crazy sum of money to re-sign him.
JoMo has been the most influential figure in Chelsea's history for good and bad in the last 50 years
His goal against City was a cross, just got a shit right foot. Overrated.
Seems like he is getting "greatest ever" tag in media, just like Liverpool and City had the "greatest ever team" tag which lasted about 1 season.
Not that I think Salah is crap.

Watch again. Mane too close for a cross that powerful and Salah’s eyes are looking right where he wellied the ball. Just an amazing goal the more you watch it again which I’m sure you’ve done time after time.
That was Salah giving the keeper the eyes trying to fool him into thinking he was going to shoot when he was really trying to cross it .
No one can doubt Lewandowski probably the best in the world at this current point in time, the rest can fight for second place.
Lewa is the best goal scorer but Salah is on another dimension entirely. No Benzema, no Mbappe and certainly no overrated Kane or KDB come close to Salah.
Only Messi and Neymar. Basta
English's media persistent and intentional disregard for Salah over the last 4 years has been nauseating while praising to the heavens Kane and co.
Can't stand whom he plays for, but give him his due.
Can't stand whom he plays for, but give him his due.
Why? If he has a huge season like his first one in the Prem and Pool manage to win the CL he'd win a Ballon.
Lewandowki has been on fire since Jan. He is the strongest contender for ballon d'or imo. Salah is a wonderful player with or without ballon d'or.
He won't. The ballon d'Or is put in place so that players from certain countries have no chance
All depends who wins the CL.
That coupled with the dirty "foreign" diver dog whistling campaign the British media have been relentlessly portraying has kept him under a blanket while Madrid still had money. It basically saved us from PSG or Madrid making a ridiculous bid that even we couldn't reject.
It also prevented his agent going crazy with salary demands that to be frank he deserves, but we couldn't afford.
Well Lewandowski’s doing it in a better league than the Premier League. It’s called the Champions League. He’s got 77 goals in 98 games. It’s an astonishing record.
Roberto Di Matteo and Rafa Benitez have won the 'better' Champions League.
Di Matteo was never considered best manager, not even by Chelsea fans.
Also Rafa was a great manager, washed up now or course, but he was a great manager.
Basta?!
Great player
Roberto Di Matteo and Rafa Benitez have won the 'better' Champions League.
Because that’s relevant. Why don’t you telI me about all of the average players that are at the top of the all time CL scoring charts?
Just not true. Benzema and Mbappe certainly can be argued to be better than Salah. KDB looks a bit washed and Kane is woefully out of form so maybe those two are not comparable ATM.
Roberto Di Matteo and Rafa Benitez have won the 'better' Champions League.
Claudio Ranieri also won the better EPL
Under rated manager. Despite the flukey EPL win.
Chelsea won the CL this year. I think Ballon d'or is based on the performance of the calendar year.
