Mohamed SALAH: 2021/22

I know this might dampen the spirits of some people with an agenda to shade Mo for his words, but interesting translation of what he actually did say properly translated:

For someone who scored just in one game of his last 15 for club and country Mo Salah recently talks too much. Maybe he should start do his talking on the pitch again.

He gets asked a lot of questions.

If he struggles with giving anodine answers he should avoid doing interviews.

Maybe he’s anodyne 95% of the time. I’m not so sure anodyne should be the ideal, anyway.

He talks too much.
He is selfish
He is all about money.
His agent is a cunt.

Sell him for ÂŁ500 million and buy
Bowen
Rafinha
Etc
Etc


The fucking level of disrespect in this thread is mind blowing.
We talk about recency bias when picking all time teams, best players.
We extend recency bias AGAINST a legend because he hasn’t scored 50 goals since Christmas.

He is in his poorest vein of form in a while, hounded by media and constantly questioned about “the contract”.
Maybe, just maybe we, the greatest fans in the world ℱ could support one of our BEST EVER players.

We need him to be motivated for the team and not for himself. He’s not doing himself any favours with recent comments that’s bordering arrogance. It’s not like him at all. Keep away from social media and do the talking on the pitch Mo.

Agree he has been phenomenal for us but we can still question him at this time in regards to his output and at the moment he can’t talk from a position of strength. If I was the club, looking at his recent form I would have doubts about the length of the contract and what to offer him.

He should also put his agent in place with his snide little posts.

He isn’t in great form.

But the opposition still have to put three players on him. That’s how good he is.

The team or himself, when he scores the winning goal on Saturday and in the CL final I could not care less.

Exactly. We’re on the cusp of something special this season. And even if we fall at the last hurdle in the FA Cup, league, and big ears, it’s been an amazing ride. Mo has been integral to this.

I’m not saying he should be immune to criticism, but some narratives just seem absurd.

Even on his off days, he brings so much to the team. Take the Spurs game. Near the end, Spurs on one of their breaks, and Mo makes an 80 yard sprint to cover the right back area.

48 games, 30 goals (6 pens), 15 assists (plus on top of that, all the international games, where he has to run around like a headless chicken while his team do a Burnley style defence).

Yes, Since AFCON, there is a marked transition in quantifiable output. But there’s four games left (two finals!). You play Mo. Simple as.

He does run into them rather than pass to a wide open Diaz to be fair :wink:

Yet still has the most goals AND most assists in the league

I wish Mo would stop talking about him being “the best player in the world in his position” and start fucking showing it.

This is the sort of shit I would expect his fucking scumbag of an agent to be coming out and saying.

This cunt is obviously getting too much of an influence over Mo.

Fucking all of this.

Some unbelievable posts in this thread.

Also hilarious the levels of double standard on this forum. Players “allowed” to be criticized and those that are off limits.

EDIT: edited, because just not worth it.

It’s not really disrespect.

It’s not really a “Liverpool thing” to come out and say “I’m the best player in the world in my position” is it?

He is, by the way, but you sound a right muppet when you come out and say something like this about yourself, especially when his form has been below what we would expect from him.

Sorry but do you have any evidence of this?

Mo is out of form, that is fact, why that can’t be discussed in a rational manner is a bit beyond me tbh.

Lol don’t know if you’re working me.

For starters, look in any thread that says Curtis or Jones, or has the words Hendo or Henderson. And I love those 2, let that be clear. Im simply making a point. If someone says so much as they didn’t play great, the Stan brigade is out in full force. Haha same goes Naby. :joy::joy::joy:

Also fascinating for me to read here and across the socials these new levels of whataboutism and ‘justifications’ for all these newfound opinions on Mo.

In relation to Mo’s comments about him being the best in his position (not including Liverpool) as the full quote clarifies.

Seems the attitude of an elite athletic at the top of his game for a number of years. Granted he’s struggling a little right now but as the old adage goes, form is temporary, class is permanent.

I would bet every one of our players (regular starting xi) that they are the best in their position. That’s how it should be imo. This isn’t underage football where playing for fun and development are the important factors and where ego has no place. This is top of the tree, elite level, high stakes competitive football.

To paraphrase couple of quotes, “it ain’t bragging if you cf back it up” and Ric Flair’s timeless, “to be the man, you gotta beat the man.”

Mo is the man (as frustrating as it is watching him currently!)

No I’m asking you to post some evidence of your claim. You use Jones as an example, when the last game he started he was (incorrectly) commented on as playing poorly througout the in-game thread.

Do you disagree Mo is out of form?
