Mohamed SALAH: 2024/25

FIFA and UEFA shortlist? I don’t even know what awards we are talking about!

I am old school with all that. Not quite Ronny Moran, “There’s a box full of medals for winning the league. Take one if you think you deserve it,” but closer to his style than all the emphasis I see on individual awards in the modern game.

I get it, the celebrity, the money, the need to have superstars and so on. I know I am swimming against the stream, but I do long for something different.

Essentially my position is that individual awards in a team game are largely meaningless. And ideally, anyone who wins an individual award will downplay their own contribution and stress how the team he played for was good.

For context in how much value these awards should have - Lionel Messi is a finalist, Salah wasn’t nominated.

If we’d be talking about an English player the likes of Merson would have their tongues deep in Mo’s anus.

Messi led Inter Miami to the MLS Supporter’s Shield this season

Paul Merson quotes should be banned like some of the despicable sources like the fucking S*N.

[mattyhurst]

Like he makes a point that it is possible to agree with but hardly enlightening which is player gets older.

He then completely smashes it with a hammer by making such a completely crap comparison that’s also wrong on several levels.

Guys a Cnut.

@mattyhurst

Guys a Cnut.

I disagree.
He’s a cunt

[mattyhurst]

I was being sensitive for some on here.

[Quicksand]

Ok
Apologies

He is a c…u…n… t

This rebellion will have FSG quaking in their boots :0)

Yep, that face is suspect. Not as bad as the Spanish pensioner who tried to restore the face of Jesus, but there’s shades of that

Where’s the remaining Coutinho money, John?

[Limiescouse]

That looks more like Simon Weston than Mo.

[The-AllMightyReds]

Sky showed some stats just now which I found pretty interesting in terms of how Arne is utilising Mo compared to how Klopp did. Surely this can only be doing the longevity of his career good?

[WeeJoe]

Interesting, though it does always feel that they hand pick these stats to tell whatever story they want to tell

[mattyhurst]

The story is to derail Liverpool’s title bid in any way they can. Anyhow glad that be looked better today as against Madrid he wasn’t as up for it.

Neville almost went there but I think someone said don’t

[Mascot]

Any afters from that Salah/Bernardo face off? Can’t find a clip but have seen some suggestion Salah was mouthing ‘racist’ at him.

[Limiescouse]

Maybe, because on replay it looked like a bit of an over reaction from Mo in terms of the challenge

He was great against Madrid up until he missed the pen then his head went a bit

[mattyhurst]

I’m not sure I wasn’t that impressed throughout.

Maybe it was my annoyance about the contract stuff that made me look at him over critically.
