In terms of style of play, Firmino being very similar to Benzema, Mane to Bale and Salah and Ronaldo both getting the goals.
The Madrid trio were better but the way they work together is pretty much the same.

If Bayern wants a replacement for Robben, this is their guy.
Whatever getbackers. The fact remains Jose overlooked them. The fact remains that Salah has 45 goals and 13 assists this season alone, while under Jose he did not even reach the double figure mark total in his 2 seasons at Chelsea under Jose. Also the Real Madrid team he managed already had player who were world class.

Quality. One man team.
He needs another season like this before we start putting him in the Messi Ronaldo bracket.
What he's currently doing, those two have been doing for 10 years.

He's playing on the same level as Messi, Cristiano and Neymar. Those guys earn £1m a week. Salah should not be far off
Key difference is you couldn't offer Asensio £600/700k a week. We canWorth repeating myself here: we asked Madrid for Asensio. Perez told us to feck off, he's worth 700m Euros. So you can see where the pricing starts. We punk'd him before he could fcuk us.
Probably have to sell their stadium to buy him.
He is the Leincester City of players. Gone from okay to arguably the best in the world within a few months.
The question is, can Liverpool afford to pay him £600,000 a week salary? Because that’s what it will take to keep a hold of him. And the offer will be closer to £250 than £150
Let's hope he has a decline next season like Leicester too.
As soon as I saw Roma with three at the back I was asking myself WTF? Are they naive or something? Who let Roma get this far? I was expecting more from them to be honest especially after some geniuses on this forum were bigging them up so much for the last couple of weeks.
They should ask for Neymar+ money. They are around the same age, and Neymar has never ever had a season near as good as this. Salah is less marketable and he isn't the 'next Brazilian player who will dethrone Messi/Ronaldo' but he is playing fantastically.

We know that. But now you know what we're going to ask for Salah? Capiche?

Di Francesco is saying just that right now Looks like Barsa bought the wrong player!
If the player wants to go you'll ask for a price we can meet. Nothing else mattersWe know that. But now you know what we're going to ask for Salah? Capiche?
Is he a one season wonder?
Does he have the talent for consistency across multiple seasons?

But why? Why is he having to explain that now? I could have called him and out of pity told him not to do that weeks before. I ask again, who let Roma get this far?
Where are the geniuses to explain what happened tonight?
No way, they could afford him. They'd have to get an insane amount of money for Lewandowski. Can't see why Salah would go that way neither.
His "oh this was so easy" celebrations are getting more and more annoying
Or Salah stays with us for two more seasons before we sell him for whatever amount goes for footballers in two years time. Is he going to sulk on the bench? Fine, it only cost us £36.9 million. No biggie. Doesn't seem like a sulking player to me.
So Perez, 700m Euros was it for Asensio?
Your best bet, with these sides, is to keep the ball and make him work backwards, but the gegen-press is custom-made for exactly that kind of football, so it's a nightmare as Liverpool drag these kind of teams into wars they're not comfortable playing in.
You need pragmatists to really have a side like them scratching their head. There's irony in that, isn't there?
I don't know how sick you'd feel if he was ruled out of the CL via an injury that could have been avoided in nothing games in the league.
I know it's tricky, but surely risk-reward is going to be a factor for the remainder of your season.
It's a tough one, to be honest. Liverpool will face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final, that means either Marcelo, the best attacking left-back in the world, or, Rafinha, another very attacking left-back. Neither of those teams or managers are going to make concessions because they'd truly believe they're the stronger force and that they could push Salah backward and make him work on containing them rather than vice-versa.
It would do more harm than good to either of those sides to suddenly adopt a 'tactical' or defensive approach when attacking has got them to where they are now. I'm not entirely sure either of those players could remain switched on for a whole game, either as they both want to go forward and affect the game offensively even if told to sit.
You'd need a real 1on1 specialist fullback to do a job on Salah by himself, a peak Ashley Cole level one, imo.
I suspect Neymar might not be overly enthused by the deal though.
I wish we just make a megathread about this topic so that everyone post in it whenever Lukaku/KDB/Salah scores, so that I can ignore it. I said previously there's a big benefit of Messi vs Ronaldo thread, and that we never see such a lame comparison in other threads so we can ignore this one and be safe !
He loves that top corner. What a player
Can't believe they found a Ballon d'Or contender.
It was working in the first 25 minutes. Tactics and formations rely on their execution. He took a risk and the players failed to perform. Simple as that
We're not barcelona. Can you honestly see your ownership choosing to keep a player that wants to leave over £200/250m?Or Salah stays with us for two more seasons before we sell him for whatever amount goes for footballers in two years time.

(look up the way he left fiorentina)
What a season he's having. And it gets even better towards the end so far.
If Liverpool are succesful and pay him a higher salary would make it far less likely for him to want to leave. They have to do that if they want to stay at the top again. Selling Salah after selling Torres, Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho.. eventually you have to ask what the point is.
Ronaldo was a special case in that he wanted to go to Real for many seasons. He'd won everything at United and wanted to fulfil a boyhood dream. Whether that's the case for Salah remains to be seen.
I hate to admit it but on current form he is probably the best player out there now. Would break the bank to have him at United. Klopp's style suits him down to the ground. Liverpool are doing really well. Sometimes we just have to stand up and applaud a good player or team (or both in this instance). Sadly it's our arch rivals.
Jealous much? Yes I am

I actually don't think he would be as good away from Klopps counter pressing system. Liverpool and Klopp have struck gold with this guy. It's the perfect match. The way Liverpool set up is perfect for him. He doesn't play like a traditional winger. Infact he has the touch of a striker but he plays in between the lines and his movement and speed creates panic amongst defenders. He drags them inside out. He also plays in little bursts and doesn't actually hold position on the wing to take his man on like a normal winger would. He saves a lot of energy playing in this style. If he went to Real Madrid or Barcelona I don't think he would replicate this form. When Liverpool have had to break down deep defences their front 3 have struggled a lot more.
My god you're already annoying with your transfer speculations and it's only April. Madrid fans really are like little children when they want their new shiny toy.
Never forget, we're the original muppets
. Our first muppet signing was barcelona's captain! Liverpool will definitely keep him for another season. But PSG, Madrid and Barca are seriously going to be looking at him after next season. Pep is also probably having wet dreams about him. If City got him, it would be the final piece of the jig saw.
Going to have to be big bucks to buy him. Around the Neymar mark.

That even annoyed me. Don't know why. It was just the way it was phrased.
He's a pretty typical inside forward which tactically Barcelona and Madrid have played with for years?
Madrid can't afford him. Isco + Asensio + £100m will do.
Salah's main problem if he moves to Madrid that he'll be no longer the main man, but a player who plays to benefit Ronaldo and I don't think it'll work well. Salah must be the main man and Klopp utilized to his max strengths in this regard.
