When does Mo leave?

50 goals in the Champions league. Not bad for a winger 🤣
And what a goal it was ( we'll not take about the penalty)

Well said Ian. Incredible barely anyone mentioned it..


He has been a different player this season.. Cannot blame the club for the contract - most of us were begging for it.. He deserved it.. You expect a drop off to occur at his agea and after so many consistent years... but this has been off a cliff. No idea what has caused it.. BUT it's happened to half the squad.. Only more pronounced when the fella that is carrying us for goals and assists all but stops.

Hindsight is great...and had we known what we would get from him up to now - letting him go to Saudi for nada/zero might have not have been so bad.. but still he is by a margin the best wide forward we've had this season.. in terms of goals and assists at least..


For the stat men:

Mo Salah
10 goals - 9 assists...in 2.685 mins


Cody Gakpo

8 goals - 4 assists in 2.832' mins

As mentioned in the summer - The club was IDIOTIC not offering Diaz the money Cody is on - then in cashing in on him and not bothering to replace him with ANYONE - AND then in entering this season with Konate as the only (France u21 at the time) senior CB added to the squad since January the effing 1st 2018!!!!!!


Mo Salah hasn't been close to the levels set BUT scapegoating him has been the go to for so many. This season is not off the rails because of him.
