Would have been further up the list if he didn’t waste time at Chelsea. Only Hodgson with a better goals to games ratio as well(at 1.56 as opposed to Salah’s 1.64). Also puts into context how untouchable Rush’s numbers seem.
Worrying when you need Paul Merson to put things in perspective!
Can’t understand how anyone would be critical of Mo. We’re totally reliant on him these days to score or assist if we’re gonna win a game. I miss the days when Mane and Bobby were around to help him out
“He might not look like he’s playing really well but he’s the top scorer, he’s the top assister in the premier league and Liverpool are top of the table”
Maybe after that first half he thought something a bit more waterproof might help? TBH, I’m surprised that we didn’t see half the guys coming out in wellies.
Salah, 31, denied that superstition played a part in his decision to switch his boots but admitted that it may have played on his mind had he not made the change.
“The other ones (boots), I missed the pen with, I just trained with it (them) yesterday,” Salah told Sky after the match at Anfield.
“It’s not superstitious because you play with many boots but when I felt like it was going to play in my head it was like, ok, I’ll change the boots.
“It’s silly but I didn’t like to have that [thought] in the second half, ‘this one I didn’t score with’… I changed, made my mind calm and focused on the game.
“We missed a lot of chances, I missed a pen. At half-time I was like, ‘Ok, are you going to leave for the national team with that performance? Not really.’
“I had to really focus and step up to make a difference and I managed to do so.”
I haven’t but I’d be interested to see who takes while he is away. I know Dom takes them for Hungary but he seems injured now and for how long who knows.
