Yeah feck me, I’d have to copy and paste even more shite while being on a tablet. It’s nonsense too, Salah has brilliant numbers for Egypt from the looks of it.
Revisionism as it finest.
His player of the season? Lionel Messi.
Messi scored 47 goals for Barça in 09/10 season & carried Argentina to the WC quarterfinals in spite of having a utter crap coach in Diego Maradona.
Absolutely. Hindsight is great. I wasn't fully convinced about Salah myself. Was hoping he'd get us 10-15 goals as Mane's sub.
Rodgers still hurts, man. What a buffoon he turned out.
Where did christiano Ronaldo stand in 2009 when he followed up his 42 goal season with 26 goals?
To be fair I don't think even the most ardent Salah fan thought he would be as good as he has been. I personally thought he would be the pound for pound the signing of the summer, thought he would bag 15 league goals and everyone would talk about what a bargain he was. But to be at worst now the 2nd best player in Europe is something I can't see anyone would have foreseen.Absolutely. Hindsight is great. I wasn't fully convinced about Salah myself.

It was pretty disappointing in terms of goals scored in comparison, but he was still key in leading us to the title and another CL final, so not too bad.

Yup, we cannot tell at this point of time whether Salah is just doing a Leceister. We need to see what happens next season as well .
Have you been on social media lately? All the betting sites on facebook and the people commenting are comparing him to Ron and Messi.
To be fair, Klopps style is working wonders for their attack not just Salah, Firminho and Mane have been on fire. Imagine Ron and Messi, Lewandowski, Suarez, Neymar, Aguero, Kane. They would be banging them in more than they are for their own clubs in my opinion.
Any top attacker in this Liverpool system would perform brilliantly. Put the same attackers in Uniteds current system and they don’t perform the same way.
He suffered a bad injury in the summer and took a while to regain full fitness.
Heres the annoying bit. Klopp didn't even want Salah, the transfer committee had to convince Jurgen he was worth it
Only problem with that is everyone will know they have money and rob them blind. See Barcelona Neymar/Dembele.
On the balcony of his mansion, at dawn, looking forlorn in madrid's direction?
I don't agree on the Lukaku point He would make Liverpool a lot worse as a team. Klopp's system relies on a high pressing number 9 in the mould of Firmino. Lukaku is the worst pressing number 9 I can think off and he isn't technically gifted on the counter like Firmino is.
Any top player I said, Lukaku would maybe take a little while to adapt but he would still be good, maybe not how Salah has been but still a good player.
Any top attacker with pace and good movement sure. Lukaku wouldn't be a natural fit in any of their attacking positions imo and neither would Martial without improvements, you could make an argument for Rashford.
Let's be honest their 3 at the back was idiotic, the LCB Juan Jesus was as slow as an oil tanker, Salah had it FAR too easy, they never got close.

Incidentally, that's how Salah will stand too in a few months
Nah. Manager didn't expect them to shit it and collapse as soon as liverpool increased the tempo. They were losing every 50/50 ball, players were consistently caught out of position, losong the ball under no pressure. There was a moment back on 1-0 where roma won the ball back at the edge of their box, 3 roma players around the ball, 2 in front waiting for a pass, two liverpool players somewhat close but not really to those 2, and firmino 15 yard behind the defenders, who spent like a full 2 seconds just standing there looking at the ball, allowing firmimo, who'd initially given up on the play, to run back and nick it away
Confidence. Improvement in his decision making and touch/technique. But mostly confidence
Well yes they were like deer in the headlights also - but it was a very clear mistake to leave him isolated 1v1.
We’re stull baffled. No one saw this coming, even Klopp.A few quotes from the first page:
Take a boo Blue.
This is like an anti anti jinx.
Unbaffle yourself man. It's unseemly.
You make a good point.
Tbf, he was even better 2 seasons before, in 06/07 (where he had more than 20 goals and 20 assists) - he then followed that up with his 42 goal season in 07/08 and then dragged us to another title the season after - needless to say, he proved himself and then some.
No wonder the tenure of managers tends to be so short if they're too pig-headed to look to win important games, rather than setting up in a certain idealised fashion irrespective.
Because he could never win top honours like the European Cup at Liverpool, one of the most storied clubs in world football.
Have you not noticed what happens when Liverpool have one of the best forwards in World Football...?
No, because Jose was clever enough with his tactics. He shut them out and you won. But you guys have been using that negative approach against all teams like Sevilla which has been detrimental. But against top sides like Liverpool your tactics were spot on.
