Welcome Mohamed Salah

[PaulMcC186]

I don't think there's any chance he's world class if you judge world class on something like would he start for every team, or top 3 in his position in the world. He rotates with Gakpo for us. 

He's class on his day.

 

[Gethin]

Exactly, Diaz is a very good player but he isn't - and has never been - world class.

I agree, I argued the same before. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

1 behind Lampard in all-time PL scorers now

8 behind Aguero in 5th

11 behind Andy Cole in 4th

[Gethin]

Needs 8 to overtake Gordon Hodgson as our 3rd all time goalscorer too

Are you guys just trying to see if Crouchinho is still lurking on here?

That’s f***ing nuts

[Chewie]

After 8 full seasons Rush had 244

In this, his 8th full season, Mo has 234

We have 15 more games in the league and a max of 16 games in all 3 cups. 

Basically, the only difference between Rush and Mo will be longevity at the club.

It's astonishing what he's doing

It is

it should be noted in amongst such stats Mo has scored 39 penalties- Rush scored 3

[smithdown]

Never seen a goal like that today.  
 

Without it ever looking like it would deffo reach him, he’s reacted with a single hip swivelling movement like a dance step to control it with his right, giving it a little bit of subtle backspin and then blamming through it with his left.  Shaolin Soccer goal.  Bravo.

With stats like that we should consider if letting him go for free is a good or bad idea.

I also wonder minutes played, Rush was 'badly' injured once, 1984ish  with a cartilage injury and missed a couple of months. And with bigger squads, and more subs, it would be interesting (to me) to compare.

it was literally magic. I - and I think half the ground - thought he'd hit the side netting. And even when I realized it was a goal I was too stunned to celebrate - my immediate thought was "how did he do that?"

Yeah at first it was why is he jogging away so pleased with himself?  And then no way!  

[Ed the Wool]

Ridiculous finish that, don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it!

[smithdown]

MOTD just said ‘from a tight angle’

 

Ok.  If that was Lineker or Shearer it would have hit thejr knee and gone out for a goal kick and they’d have said ‘awwww he saw it too late’
