Just saw a stat I struggle to believe - Grealish drew free kicks 168 times in 19/20, which is the same number Salah has earned since 2018

Maybe if Grealish tried staying on his feet a little more often, heād have a hundreth of the goal output Mo Salah hasā¦the problem is his ego is too big for that. āHey guys look how many players it takes to stop meā
Are players still getting booked for taking off their shirts when celebrating?

There was a stat last year saying Salahs total bookings over 75% are for taking shirt off after a goal.

Well, sure, maybe. It definitely says something about Grealish that he is going down easily and getting those free kicks. That is damn near 4.5 free kicks a game assuming he started all of them (and he likely did not). Sure, he is a skilllful player who moves the ball and shields, he does get fouled. But that is a lot of calls.
By contrast, Salah is also a tricky player who moves the ball, shields, and definitely goes past people. It is hard to shed fan bias, but all things being equal I think I see Salah getting fouled fairly frequently - and he has played 190 PL games since the beginning of the 18/19 season. That is less than one free kick per match.
Hmmmā¦

Fucking shocking if he genuinely hasnāt received any sort of offer.

If Mo has not received any offer,you would have to wonder if there are any brains in FSG.
Reckon it would go down like a lead balloon around the world.
Is that AI?
This is being reported on the BBC, so I assume that they have validated that itās a genuine video.
Heads should fucking roll at FSG if Salahās new contract isnāt tied up before Christmas.

Forget about everything else, if this video is real then I only have one thing to say.
Absolute top-class mentality from Salah there. Itās easy to focus on the negatives, like questioning why the club donāt seem keen on offering him a new contract, but I think by far my favourite part about that video is him staying humble, and making it clear that heās going to focus only on what he can change ā his performances. Nothing else.
