No comment on Salah, but Suarez had two world class seasons here. He was exceptional in 12/13 too in a team devoid of attacking quality until Coutinho and Sturridge were signed in Jan.
Firmino is increasingly becoming pre-Klopp Firmino - we all know how crap he was during Rodgerās final months (partly because he did not fit Rodgerās football and Rodger could not use him).
ARDā¦ Salah has had me jumping from my seat many many times with his goal-scoring exploits, the guy has been a phenomenal signing for usā¦ In these days of dark transition going from good to bad and hopefully not any worse, we have to take our blinkers off when analysing our players to discover the remedy to our poor formā¦ Sometimes instead of looking at the goals a guy has scored, take a look at the goals he should have scored! From one on one misses against the keeper, sitters squandered, shoots instead of playing killer passā¦ etc etc
There are plenty of these games when a goal scored, instead of a goal missed would have brought different end results to the matchesā¦ West Brom, Brighton, Newcastleās etc
Momentum gets disrupted, form begins to suffer, confidence starts to plummet and so onā¦
I still blame Adrian for losing us the game against AMā¦ but how many sitters did we miss before thatā¦
For the style of play under Jurgen at the moment, I honestly believe Salah is too easily marked out of the gameā¦ Teams and yard -dog managers have become savvy to our forward playā¦ European games at the moment, not so much.
Some say we need to change tactics, fair enough, some say we need to change personnelā¦!
Souness was my favourite player at LFCā¦
but he was also the worst manger ever, times move on and we adapt. Either way you have to call it as you see it.
We are running into brick walls on a game by game basisā¦
The fact that Salah shook his head last night, when Jurgen needs everyone to man the pumps to our sinking ship of formā¦ Is unforgivable in my opinionā¦ For his smarmy agent to attempt to disrupt what harmony we still hold onto in the club, is again, unforgivable in my opinionā¦!
OK so by that measure Salah has been world class every season heās been here. Yet still thereās just so much heat and resistance to accepting that fact.
So let me get this straight. Its not the fault of the players who play bad and seem to almost never contribute to goals its the fault of the one guy still scoring because he doesnāt score every single time?
Weāve been here before ARD, I donāt know why you constantly bring Suarez up to praise Salah.
Salahās a great player, and does get underappreciated at times, but heās not as good as Suarez IMO. If you disagree, thatās fine, but donāt get annoyed that anothers think differently, itās not an outrageous opinion.
I was using Suarez as a player universally backed by the fan base (despite some issues) in a way Salah doesnāt get. You could use Torres if you prefer who was a phenomenal CF but a bit short of the other two.
The thing is with Salah I doubt anyone bar City or PSG can afford him come this summer, and I doubt he sees either as an attractive option.
I think Salah is one of our greatest players, he is in a bit of a slump through burn out but his goal scoring record is 2nd to none. Iād much rather Bobby left before him.
An interesting take would be say Real/Barca did want him but the only way we can do is a swap deal would anyone do that?
Then you clearly donāt appreciate just how good Salah is. Heās one of the top scorers the Premier League has ever seen. Coutinho has dropped off loads and had injury issues but even at his best didnāt come near the quality and consistency Salah shows. Dembelle is a good player with a ton of unrealised potential but would be another injury prone players. Theyād probably cost less than Ā£100m combined to get off Barca this summer. Salah is worth at least Ā£150m.
