What is he on?
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date
Why was he playing so wide? He's miles from the play
Hit the magical age of 30. He's washed. Good luck to Liverpool with him for the next 5 years at 350k a week.
He always seemed like a player that shouldn't be performing that well at the top level.
Is it me or is he not playing that much different than usual. It's just not bobbling in for him with every half chance.
He’s lost a step ( not much) he’s just further away from goal than ever. He’s also not 24/25 and able to just out sprint players either. Mane had the same issue on the wing.
Every time that commentator says McNeil all I'm hearing is Fat Neill from Community

Fecking Cnut is useless in my fantasy football team again.
I reckon it must be dawning on Salah now just how much Firmino and Mane enabled him. All those times when he’d go on a mazy run after Mane won the ball back, Firmino dragged the defender away and he was allowed to just fire it at the defenders’ ankles while the other two are left fuming. There’s not a lot of other top attackers that would’ve put up with that and still looked to enable him when possible.
Its all be about the CL now...if Liverpool get kicked out of that, then it really has been a disastrous season for Mo!
31 goals and 16 assists last season. Not like he NEVER passed.
Such a drag in our team. Out of all the players I don't want to see on the teamsheet this season (TAA, Henderson, etc) Salah is right at the top. Such a sad state of affairs. 
Hopefully it's just a long patch. But if he plays any minute of a CL game we're fecked.

What has happened to him? I watched the game and he was awful.
Delighted to see that huge contract Liverpool offered him coming back to bite them.
Should have sold him in the summer, that contract is looking like an appalling decision.
In Cookies back pocket today.
You knew the moment that big deal was put on the table it would go t/ts up.
Curse of the £350k contract increase. Ozil, Aubameyang, De Gea, Salah.
DDG is still great for us. World class save after world class save for us this season.
Yet he declined sharply after signing his new deal, and is improving now as it approaches its end.
Not renewing Mane at the same time may well have been the bigger mistake. He clearly did a lot of the dirty work and stretched the play on the other wing.
If they had to keep one though, they went the wrong way.

Players like Salah and Mane and Hazard and Bale etc. make your realise exactly how good Ronny and Messi were to stay at the top this long. He just seems like he is not arsed anymore.
How long was it?Delighted to see that huge contract Liverpool offered him coming back to bite them.
Looks tired or disinterested. Not the force he once was and the signs were there before his new contract
He's damn near vanished after his new fat contract!
He's only scored 4 more than Martial in the league..

80???
Drop the 0 and someone will be interested taking him on loan.
He'd be that valuable to PSG, they're in need of another wide attacker and Salah is the biggest star in the Arab world. He's insanely marketable.
I'd rather we keep him though, it was only a year ago he was performing at best in the world levels and the constant change to the forward line - combined the midfield problems - means he's had zero continuity in attack.

Be lucky to get 40m
If the decline is here to stay, i hope no one is seriously stupid enough to pay that amount for him, giving Pool the cash and freeing up the wages to invest in the squad. Let him remain Pools problem, on massive wages until the end of that contract.
*now watch him go on a scoring spree!

Where’s your money going to come from for a new midfield if you don’t sell? Your owners won’t dip into their pocket, no one else is on a contract that big and underperforming that badly. It might also just be that he wants to leave. Who else can you feasibly sell also? There aren’t many desirable names left that can bring in decent money.
He’ll go the Sanchez route. A loan and wages paid.
80m for a visibly declining player? I'm sure they would be open to that indeed.
Yeah, this is maybe hopefully working on the basis that the club which produced the third biggest revenue in world football this last year (2nd if, like me, you're unsure about the truth of City's figures) can fund a single big summer spending without having to lose players.
