Object to Giggs’ importance as you’re recalling the post-2000’s there more than his heyday 1990’s where he was instrumental, but outside of that, well phrased and posted. The importance of wing-forwards also shifts as we go through the years and Giggs had been moved inside by then anyway. Ironic that you move his career 15yrs up and he comes up as a RWF himself.
They might not have won as much without Giggs, but we don’t win anything without Mo. That was the point. Other than that Salah was more prolific but Giggs was Giggs. Ever present and always there winning everything in efn sight.
Whether he's declining or not, signing the three players that will likely define our attack for the next 5+ years at this point is only prudent, given his age.
There was a huge gap yesterday between Bradley and him, leaving Salah isolated which Chelsea wanted.
He looks a pub player so far this season. That extension will haunt you. Slot doesn’t have the balls to drop him.
About time something did, tbh
The issue is fullback/flank support has gone to pot, which means he’s isolated and having to do far too much to work for position. He hasn’t been his old fast for a while, but he modified his game to compensate for that some time ago; the difference is no Trent and his threat for the opposition to think about and go out to meet. In the past, Salah would operate in the pockets of space and opportunism it provided.
I don't know any reasons but one could be that Italian football in the 90s was by far the best in Europe in both standards and pay.
I wouldn't bother. He's the type of poster who will argue that every player in the team is the best in the world, but then would say this about Salah.
Messi was also that important to 2005 - 2015 Barcelona, that doesn't mean their team was nowhere near those United sides if you took him out of it.
I don't think the extension will be an issue at all. You know Saudi will buy him for £100m+ and 400k a week is nothing to them.
They'd still be successful, just not as successful. You said liverpool would win nothing
That was not me.
Liverpool fans all look the same to me
Yeah for sure, it’d be a marquee signing because of his football heritage and also culturally.
Yep, I think that’s going to happen.
I think he’ll eventually go to Saudi - I just don’t think last season was the right time. So pool renewed him on massive wages which will ensure they get a good transfer fee and when Salah has declined & his starting position is threatened and/or he doesn’t feel he’s up to task in Europe anymore, maybe he’ll then be off to Saudi. Good all be moot, of course - he might shake it off and start hitting some excellent form again. Either way, I think he will end up in Saudi at some point.
Probably. The jammy cnuts.
he always scores against us.We never played Gakpo in the centre last season. It was Jota, Nunez and Diaz.
In part yes, but mostly they're really missing TAA, Mac Allister hasn't been playing particularly well so far, and all that is forcing Salah away from the box while also reducing his options
