Come on...
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date
???? Everyone I've asked has said Salah IRL.
Even as a Liverpool fan I'd take Neymar. Salah is an excellent player and approaching world class but Neymar is as world class as they come and has proved it year in year out.
Has he really though? Played in the best team in the best team in the world, had one massive game (VS PSG) and performed consistnetly over a few seasons.
Salah playing in a much weaker team has excelled, scoring more goals and looking far superior to me.
Sums arsenal and their fans up tbf.
They were Man Utd and Liverpool fans. They claim Neymar is a nothing player and hasn't proved it.
It's a weird one. I feel like Neymar is the better player overall but Salah is doing better now. I really hope Neymar decides to come to the EPL and joins City or someone to see if he can do it here. I personally feel like he'll smash it here.
Yeah that is true but look at the context. In a team of Suarez, Messi etc and then other big name players, it can be hard to be the star and do all that. This is especially so at Barca.
At PSG he's more of the main man but from what I've seen he's surprisingly not as selfish as I thought he'd be. He seems to be trying to create the most. If I were to choose one purely for scoring goals it would be Salah. If I wanted a more "rounded" player who can score from fk's consistently, create chances easily and score goals it'd be Neymar. At the same time I also feel like Neymar is holding himself back.
I actually think Salah will stay, why leave he's banging the goals in and idolized by pool fans, if he were to join Madrid and he had a bad start the knives would be out and I actually think he's seems like a loyal bloke too.
We shall see in the summer, tbh im more concerned with our transfer window than other clubs as I think its a vital window that Ed must get right.
Neymar is already 3rd on the all-time top scorers list for the Brazilian national team and he has only just turned 26.
Salah is a fantastic player but your friends are morons if they think Salah have "proved" more than Neymar.
Neymar is much more accomplished and way ahead of Salah. Ask me again in 3 years.
How old are your friends?
Salah has had a fine season and has been incredible, but Neymar's still clearly a better player.
And he's proven more than Salah has.
And he's proven more than Salah has.
How?
I don't think he's a level above Salah at all(providing Salah stays at this level). No denying he's done it for longer.
Both similar level to me imo.
How? Better hold up, link up with back to goal, focal point, better in the air, better finisher, an actual number 9, can fit into any team. If a team doesn’t play a high press and allow Salah to stay up the pitch Salah’s game is drastically hindered.
Kane is simply the better player. Maybe people dont appreciate what it actually is to be a number 9.
You just named better traits in regards to a striker.
I'm not saying Salah is a better player, but I don't think it's as clear cut as you're making it out to be.
It’s far more difficult and impressive to be what Kane is than it is to be what Salah is.
Kane has been a world class for three players. As much as Salah has been great this season, let's just wait and watch whether he does it again for the next season or not.
The statements coming out from Liverpool ex-players are hilarious. "The greatest African player in PL history" "Only Messi and Ronaldo can match Salah's level". fecking calm down.

Lots of fair comments in this thread. He's definitely not on Neymar's level, don't know why anyone would suggest otherwise.
However, he's not just had "one good season". He was excellent for Roma last year as well in quite a different role, playing off Dzeko almost as a second striker. I remember quite a few Utd fans were reluctant to break the bank on Kane after his first good season since he could be a one season wonder, but all the signs were there he was ready to push on, just like with Salah imo. His statistical output speaks for itself as well, a far better season than Bale's last season at Tottenham for example.

So now Salah is what the second best player in the world?
All of us kept thinking Hazard or Neymar is going to win the next Ballon D'or after Messi and Ronaldo decline , but going by this thread ,it's going to be Salah

I'm one of the few who thinks Salah is overrated? EPL is awful right now, has too much space. Against more elaborate defensive schemes he looks like a donkey. To compare him to neymar is crazy imo.
Neymar plays in the French league which is 10x worse than the EPL. The EPL, even currently, is a very physical league and difficult to play in! Very few player would cope as well as Salam has. I can’t personally deny his world class form.
I dont deny Salah is good physically but he doesnt have the skills Hazard, Neymar have
Certainly doesn’t have the skills of Neymar but his dribbling is sublime, there is no denying his talent obviously but ultimately Neymar is still the far better player albeit which league he is in.
You mean like Chelsea, Man City and Spurs? Or are you talking about all the 'low block' sides who basically play ten men in their own eighteen yard line and one as far forward as the D?
I'm guessing that leaves Bournemouth and Watford then, that leave all this space I mean, because the others only seem to do it, once Salah has already opened them up and given them little choice but to come out.
No side has made Salah look like a Donkey, only United nullified him, by doubling and actually trebling up on him at times.
So. I bet Not One Single Person has said this and meant it seriously, but do go on, your delusion is hilarious, and quite what the Dr ordered. Honestly, some posts!!!!
If Liverpool win the Champions League (which is pretty realistic in my opinion) then Salah has a great chance of winning the Balon d'Or.
Neymar has already proven himself in La Liga as well though.
Salah doesn't have the skill set Hazard has but his output this year is twice or so what Hazard has done in his best ever season, so there's that.
Sanche7 : I apologise mate.
There was a thread in the noobs comparing him to Ronaldo (the fat one)!
He's clearly been in fantastic form but comparisons to Neymar are a bit ridiculous never mind Messi or Ronaldo.

Any comparisons to Neymar, Messi etc are obviously premature. Salah's had 8 brilliant months so far and here's hoping he'll continue. If he does keep up this form for another year then comparisons will make more sense.
He won't go anywhere this summer as he'll be worth much more to us than what anyone will be willing to pay.

Neymar is better than Salah no debate here.
Kane absolutely isn't and claiming he has more to his game is pure bollocks, he's much slower, doesn't dribble nearly as well and provides far less assists, arguments such as strength on the ball are also ridiculous as Salah bullied the likes of Maguire this season.
Hazard is a very different player, he'd be a whole level above Salah if he could actually score goals at the same rate as Hazard,Kane or Neymar but without having that there's no way to tell for me, he's just as good as Neymar or Messi with the ball at his feet but he back that up with goals and assists sadly

Salah every time you noggins!!
Nah don't be silly its got to be Neymar. He's a ridiculous talent and footballer.Looking for the white text. Can’t find any.
So I guess if I had asked you if Mahrez or Neymar was the better player in 15/16, you would have said Mahrez?
Mahrez played for a team that finished 15th the previous year, was relegation threatened, played super defensive football with him and Vardy being the only players who try to attack,zero support and despite all that helped his team win the PL.
Hazard can be very inconsistent as we have seen, although Salah hasn’t even had a full season yet its the goals/assists statistics that matter when it comes to forwards, not the technical ability. It’s a shame Salah plays for Liverpool though because as much as I despise every other Liverpool player I find it so hard to dislike this guy at all
Edit: your young English players aren’t half bad either though
that doesn’t include the ox for me I agree that if Liverpool somehow won the Champions League and Salah gets 45 for the season he has every chance of the BD.
It really isn’t that ridiculous given that scenario. It’s about time someone else won it anyway and if that doesn’t do it then they may as well just disregard everyone else but the main 2 for the next few years.

2018 will go to a decently known footballer that makes an exceptional performance in the world cup or to Messi or CR. No one else.
What Moh Salah will do this year for Liverpool, will be irrelevant for the Ballon d'Or.
Moh Salah Neymar level? even read CR lvl? FFS, not even a year playing in a very good level. Not at top 3 level like Messi, CR or Neymar did in the last 5 or more

Naah, this is a bizarre case of whoring out the team's best player to rival fans to prove a point on a forum.
