    I know mate he’s insane!

    He has scored 1 penalty but all the rest have been from open play. Saw the breakdown of his goals on sky sports the other day and he has only scored about 5 goals from outside the box I think it was, all the rest have been inside the box.

    Roma’s tactics are playing right into Liverpool’s hands, makes no sense and they’re lucky not to be 3 or 4 down already. The only way to play against them is to sit back and hit them on the break or play direct over the top.

    He’s well outscored Suarez in a season but I still feel Suarez is and was a better player.

    Salah is outrageous though.

    These are the top scorers in Europe

    Salah 42 goals + 1 penalty
    Messi 37 goals + 3 penalties
    Ronaldo 35 goals + 7 penalties
    Kane 34 goals + 3 penalties
    Immobile 33 goals + 8 penalties
    Lewandowski 33 goals + 6 penalties
    Cavani 32 goals + 4 penalties

    Scored 5 goals more than anyone else from open play.

    Aye I know what you mean. I've never really seen Salah have a "great" game, he is actually rarely involved in play and doesn't seem to do a lot - a bit like Ronaldo only his finishing and clamness and dribbling around the box is more the style of Messi.

    He just seems to pop up in the right areas of the box all the time and is so cool in front of goal.

    Difficult to compare Salah and Suarez, almost impossible in fact.

    Salah will have to do it over a longer period but in terms of this season he is right up there with the top, top, world class forwards.

    Best player of the year/season I think would be fair.
    But one season doesn't make you suddenly comparable to Messi and co.




    Hate this boo-ing that home supports tend to do.
    2-0 up and playing well against them yet resort to that. Kinda takes the sportsmanship out the game.
    Like shouting "boo" when someone's taking a swing at golf.

    Somebody was spot on, on BT last week about that Fazio at the back for Roma - I think it was an ex Spurs player who was on or possibly Glen Hoddle - he said he had no pace and would get destroyed by the movement, pace etc of Liverpool and he has big style.

    3-0

    Liverpool could run up a cricket score here, Roma defence is awful.

    Offside.

    Commentators conveniently ignore it though.

    My *, I was thinking if Mane was on form Liverpool would be 6 up and Salah provides him with a ball he can't possibly miss :56:

    Linesman calls a clear onside offside

    A minute later misses a blatant offside

    Think the BT mics must be * because it looks bouncing but sounds very tinny.
