Welcome Mohamed Salah

[Romario]

Could be at anytime. Even a month ago and thing could be massively different. Slot seems chilled about it all.

There’s just a finality in the way it was said in a time frame.

Yeah, I think it’s all theatre from Mo.

Me too. He’s just levels above.

Same. 

I try not to think about it but it really does take some of the joy out of watching us play atm. 

Both he and Virgil are so integral to everything that we do.

Carra’s in a bit of reputational trouble over this Salah thing.

Feels a bit storm in teacup to me. His underlying point that playing for Egypt makes it harder to win a Ballon D’or than a fancied South American or European side seems valid to me.

Agree.

I don't think his comment warranted the response it got from Richards and Sturridge. But then he pulled that daft face.

I think if we are worried about Salah saying “I gave my best” then we should consider that English isn’t his first language and he may have meant to use the imperfect tense.

[McBain]

His best? Losers always whine about doing their best 

Winners go home and win the ballon d'Or

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

At what point do we need to consider that the hair transplant gave him secret powers 

[Nebraska Red]

Lazy bugger didn't even score tonight.

I'm another starting to worry about our forwards next year if he goes. He's at such a high consistent level now that he's freeing up space for the others as well as delivering high numbers 

Really like having 5 forwards to rotate/ being on a couple late on fresh. But think there's different doubts about all the other 4

Anyway. I'll worry about it next season, this one is too juxh fun

I think it’s only Gakpo that might be of the quality that you really really want.

We’d need another one of Salah quality even if Salah stays.

Yeah he's deffo been the most consistent of the others this season and much prefer him settled on the left. But if I'm being picky I don't like him up top with Jota as we lose pace/ball carrier and he's scored 1 away goal in the league....

That’s true in the ball carrier front. It really is essential. It’s Diaz’s best thing outside of his interpretation of being the warrior he is.

It does help that defenders double up on him - there's three looking at him/covering as he passes to Mac for the 2nd last night
