All you'll care to remember him for, perhaps, but 252 goals and 119 assists for English clubs suggests he's a bit more than that.

How many of those goals were penalties from an obvious dive? The man's a massive cheat who will never be remembered as a truly great player as when he had the opportunity to play football he invariably chose to throw himself.to the floor.
Same with Suarez, Mane, Klinsmann, Van Persie, etc. Could have been remembered as truly great players but mostly remembered outside their fanbases as being massive cheats and a stain on the Premier League.

Salah at his peak was great for the PL.
You might not miss him but the PL will.

Better cheat than a footballer and he was a great footballer. May affect the viewing figures in the Middle East but the amount of diving in games will go down once he's gone so it's swings and roundabouts.

Given that was before the 'birth of football' and was not a cup final, 'a peak British television audience of over 12 million' really was something else, especially as the population in 1989 was around 47.5 million.

I think it sounds about right for a final round game between the top two, winner takes all match. It would have been the only match on TV then of course.

Massive cheat of a player, that's all he'll be remembered for. Premier League will be better off when he's fucked off the diving shithouse.

He was -in his prime- a magnificent goalscorer: the real poacher instinct that a good striker needs. To me it's just a crying shame he went to one of the two worst clubs he could have chosen.
But goalscoring aside, he was a snidey, cheating, diving fucker who should have had many many more cards than he ever did: thus he would have been suspended for most games.

Great goalscorer but a **** of a man.

He's scored 54 penalties in his career, but the record books don't distinguish which ones were from an obvious dive, alas.
 
Salah was the only player they had that I genuinely feared when we played them. Might have been a combination of never playing a proper left back against him, but none the less he was an immense finisher and made it look easy. I'd have him at City no problem, he's still world class.

Liverpool have folder so quickly, I find it incredible. Only 3/4 months ago they looked set to win it again but now they'll be lucky to get into Europe. I know a few match-going Scousers I used to work with and every single one says he's toast. He's lost the team and they said he's on borrowed time. No one they know wants Slot to stay which tells you a lot.

The problem managers like Slot have is they don't have a good CV. If you are Salah/VVD etc you have played for better managers and think you know the game better than Slot. If Klopp was in charge he can show them a few trophies and they will back down. If Pep was in charge, they wouldn't say a fuckin word as they know he's the best there's been.

It's great to watch! First United provided the fun but now Liverpool are on self-destruct as well!
