Fake news! I did a quick count based on WhoScored stats and Dzeko has scored:
Every 142nd minute in the EPL
Every 148th minute in the Serie A
So your own argument favours the Serie A.
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date

This guy has probably never watched Serie A in his life clearly lol.
16 point gap in the most competitive league in history. Laughable. Even sky have had to back track with that BS.
Based on? The stats I've seen suggest he has a higher conversion rate than Kane, Aguero etc.
Salah didn't score as much at Roma because the team set up was to create chances to Dzeko, he was the main man there. Salah provided Dzeko with 15 assist last season as far as i remember. He was also injured for more than a month at the start of the season.
Dzeko pointed out that they miss Salah at the start of the season when Dzeko was having a dry spell.
"I think we miss (Francesco) Totti but we need Salah as well. He used to play close to me and it's all different now."

You're clever, instantly shifting the argument from your own lies.
I don't know what you think that proves. There's hardly any difference between him and Kane there for example.
What lies? The guy said Dzeko is doing better in Serie A and was proven to havea better goal per minute ration in EPl.
He said Serie A is joke. So what does that make the EPl atm where a team is walking the league by 16 points. A bigger gap than Pep ever achieved with supposedly a weaker team than his Bayern or Barcelona
Which one is it?
EPL is weak or City are on par with his other sides? Either way the league is a one horse league.
Salah will be snapped up by Madrid or Paris. Anyone know what his buyout clause is?
He doesn’t have one as far as I’m aware. The club isn’t keen on the idea which is why Can won’t sign a contract.
He's annoyingly likeable, just goes about his business with a smile on his face.
But I don't want to be too positive so will say this, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he scores half the amount of goals or less next season.

Last season was a freak season for goals in serie A in general. Other than that, he hasn't exactly pulled up trees. His first season in italy was a punchline
I would say Roma, Inter and Lazio are pretty good as well, perhaps not as good as liverpool, chelsea and spurs(though roma did absolutely smash chelsea), but far from a joke. I'd also say that Sampdoria, Atalanta, Milan, Torino and Udinese are comparatively slightly better than Arsenal, Everton, Leicester, Burnley and Bournemouth
But that's besides the point. For Salah, playing for liverpool, in the PL, is certainly easier than playing for Roma in serie A. His team suits him better and the league itself further allows them to create optimal conditions for him. Far more so than Roma and Serie A did
That said, he's also gone up a level or two individually compared to last season
Look at you all implying stuff just because I disagree with you. I watch more than half of Roma’s games since they are my second team, check my posting history if you don’t believe me. Dzeko scores more in Serie A than in Premier League, not my fault someone comes up with some fancy goals per minute stats which was not what I was referring to.
City has hardly dropped any points this season, only lost once and is simply better than everyone else. The Premier League has four different winners in the last four years, that’s what you call competitive. You can’t be serious calling it a one horse league while Serie A has been the very definition of that the last five years or so
The only reason it’s not this year is because Napoli manages to keep up with Juve for once, apart from that no team would even come close to a top four finish in England, Roma neither although they topped their group (in which Atlético was atrocious in case you forgot). I really don’t see what I said wrong here. The PL is more competitive and a tougher league than the Serie A to me, fine if you disagree with that. But please don’t put words in my mouth. Salah is producing once again in a different league and my initial point was that there are really no signs at all that he’ll slow down next season, that’s it.

You said Serie A was a joke bar Napoli and Juve. So what does that make Chelsea and Ateltico considering they won that group and demoilshed Chelsea both home and away?
Also Salah benefits heavily from the defending inthe channels over here is pathetic compared to Serie A. The league is tailor made for him.
Either way you calling a league a joke is laughable when Leicester are wining the EPL. Would they win any other league?
He basically played as a second striker off Dzeko last year though which makes his current goal tally all the more impressive as strictly a right winger. Maybe Liverpool’s style suits him better, I’ll concede that, but 20+ goals is something even Hazard hasn’t done in the PL so far. He’s having a very, very impressive season and I can easily see him ending up close to 30 goals.
He's not a right winger. He's a wide striker.
His average position is right of centre and he is always almost the most advanced forward in your team.
Suppose it's still a season too early to warrant a £200m+ price tag. He might suffer a Mane type dip or correction. Hazard showing proven pedigree and must be on a shorter contact than Salah. Real's targets surely have to be, in order of priority:
1. Kane - Levy won't turn down £200m+
2. Hazard - Ronaldo replacement for £140m depending on remaining contract
3. ??? to make up half a billion pounds summer to keep the fans happy
Maybe they could stretch to a 200m Salah. Who needs schools and social welfare in Spain anyway?

All the usual powerhouses were a joke back then as well, they’ve been better since. No they would never win Serie A since Juve has consistently been very good the last few years, but it was a freak season in which the stars collided for them. Also a one off result for Roma doesn’t change the trend of the last few years I’m afraid. The Milan teams have literally been a joke and Inter has been poor since their good start. But let’s just agree to disagree.
Meh, not really, there's no real difference in the positions he tends to occupy on the pitch, and he's a lot more involved at Liverpool than he was at Roma. The PL tendency to defend the wings instead of the channels helps him a lot, serie A defenses were instructed to get tight and leave him space on the wing instead of behind, whereas in England he's finding it a lot easier to get behind through the channels
But overall i agree with you, Salah is having a great season and i don't see any reason why he shouldn't repeat that next season as well(well, not exactly goal for goal, but you get my point). Besides, part of the reason why he didn't score as much in Italy was his dreadful finishing, and he's improved that a lot this season
You conveniently ignored my Dzeko-reply.
Do you consider Robben to be a Right Winger?
Nope. Wide forward but he is a lot closer to the touchline. Salah is a wide striker and plays closer to the box than Robben does
You have to give the transfer committee or whatever they are called at Liverpool. They know how to buy attacking players over the years. Defenders or goalies, not so much.
Why am i seeing Mo Salah everywhere ? Skysports, BBC, even the title of this thread, his name is Mohamed Salah. did he ask to be called Mo instead of Mohamed ? Like Memphis with his Depay thing ?
Easier to say??
Okay, it makes sense. like very nickame. i thought that it was something like Memphis or Dele.
We called him Momo in Italy, which is 150% cooler
Tbf I did wonder why it had been universally abbreviated by the entire footballing world. But honestly the answer just seems as simple as it's easy to pronounce and easier for a commentator to yell when he scores.
Cos the English like to shorten names. Even a friend Steve was known as Ste back up north.
Another very tidy goal tonight.
I thought he'd flop. He's been fantastic.

Liverpool winning the champions league is pretty realistic I think as they are at their best when playing big teams. If that happens, can see Salah actually winning the Balon d'Or - depending on what happens in the world cup.
Nah. They are nowhere near good enough and won't be able to beat multiple good teams. There's really no players of true winning pedigree in that team.
Players aren't of winning pedigree until they win something. They are the only team to domestically beat Manchester City this season - a team which is having the best league campaign probably in the world this season.
Crystal palace were one penalty away from achieving the same feat.
This season against big teams their record is not that great like last season.
Lost against Spurs and City, drew against ManUtd, Arsenal, Chelsea.
Beat City and Arsenal.
Seems like a humble man, which is saying something in this era of childish haircut, over-hyped / valued, under-performing, big grinning (when your team's losing and you think it's funny), luminous boot wearing footballers of today.
Pretty sure his goal output won't be anywhere near what it is now come next season, but what a buy!

Salah has now scored 30 goals and has 10 assists for Liverpool in his first season, and there is 3 months of football left... that is insane, we have finally recruited a real Suarez replacement
That output is unreal.
Genuinely world class now?
Genuinely world class now?
He's more than a replacement, he's an upgrade.
Absolute cat in the final 3rd.
Hate to say it, but he looks like such a good player. Wonder how Chelsea fans must be feeling watching Salah and De Bryune tearing up the league, oh and they had Lukaku there as well.
