Hi ED001, What is your personal opinion on Salah? He creates a lot of chances but not as decisive as Mane. He used to score a lot for Roma. I just don't understand this.

{Ed001's Note - a lot of it with him is confidence. Once he gets more confident, he will strike the ball with less concentration on trying to be precise. He just seems to tense up when the moment comes right now, instead of relaxing and just hitting the ball. I think he will be ok in time, once he is fully settled and scored a few.}

Good thing is he is creating those chances himself and has ability to take on and beat a man or two.

Heart breaking thing is when he misses some sitters. We will get used to see more of this.

But the opposition will have him, Mane, Couts and to some extent Firminio marked. All others they don't even bother.

Cheers.

He also used to miss a lot at Roma!

He seems to be able to run faster with a ball than most defenders can run without a ball, I'm really enjoying watching him play at the minute.
The goals will come, just needs to maybe dink it over or round the keeper rather than straight at their legs.

You wouldn't describe salah as a clinical finisher. Not when he was at chelsea/ roma/ liverpool. But that's okay, I think most people know that about him. He usually gets quite a few chances though and if you count pre season he has scored loads for us already. Ed01 is right of course, with confidence comes a more natural finish but don't expect him to bury every chance he gets. As long as he keeps getting in the right positions then that's fine with me.

Whoever put the thumb down on my salah comment should research salah a bit more. I'm not being harsh to the guy. He simply isn't a clinical finisher. He makes more goals than he scores. Fantastic player, I love him. He will score tonnes for us I'm sure but he is not a striker he is a winger.

Has Salah not scored a couple of goals in the few games he has played in? Are we expecting hatricks every game?

Think he needs to work on shooting with his right foot, just being able to drill it across the keeper or something. It's nice when players cut in and curl one from the edge of the box, but the positions he gets into seems to be bearing down on the keeper from the edge of the 6 yard box. I've got faith in him, that and or him and mane swap a bit more during matches.

I remember when Robbie Fowler was having a dry spell infront of goal and when Roy Evans (im nearly 100% positive it was him) asked about this he just said im not worried as long as he's getting the chances he will eventually score. The point is you would be more worried if Robbie then and Salah now was not getting in them positions to score.

{Ed025's Note - thats the oldest excuse in the book ITM, its a cop out for strikers and managers to justify ineptitude in front of goal, if i was the manager i would be saying..."put the ball in the net dick head or your getting hooked"..

He is a decent finisher but it's not his strongest asset. I'm not having a go at the lad because we lost yesterday. His goal against arsenal was great, nice finish but it was his pace that made the chance and that is is best asset. If he scores one of every three chances he gets then as long as he is getting in for three opportunities a game then brilliant. Again, I'm not knocking him. I think he is fantastic.

Salah can always improve his finishing so it is not a knock on him. He does score a tonne of goals as 19 goals and 11 assists attest to. If he gets 19 goals in all comps. here then we will all be chuffed to bits. He has already delivered for us this season and come good. He just needs to work on his right foot, hit the ball more accurately and get more bend on it when using the left foot from the right wing position and he should be fine.

I'd much rather he is getting the chances and missing than not getting the chances.

Think when we throw coutinho into the mix and he has bagged a few. I reckon easily 20 for him this year. Easy peasy.
