His name, strangely not mentioned in the article, is Hany Mukhtar.
Looks interesting.
Although I do think he might be worth a punt, I don't really rate Salah that much.
Living in Switzerland I watched him play a lot for Basel and thought he looked like Gabby 2.0
He has bags of pace but touch lets him down on numerous occasions. He cant blast the ball, neither can he finish 1 on 1s very well. I always felt he looked nervous in front of goal, same as gabby. Crossing nothing special.
I also remember him to be quite one dimensional. He mostly runs at the defence and gets sucessfully jockeyed out to the right corner flag.
Overrated in my opinion.
(i know most commas are wrong but they feel right to me as a german speaker)
Okay, his attributes are not outstanding. But put it this way, when do you ever remember Richardson horrifically losing a personal duel?
He doesn't get dominated by the opposition. He is neat and tidy and he knows where he needs to be and what to do. He's not full of flair but he does enough for where we aren't at the moment. He has some quality but most teams we play have more and his attributes allow us to 'be in' a game.
Thanks.
I agree with most of what you said exept the neat and tidy part.
It seems to me that he doesn't now which option to pick in the final third.
By this I mean that he often decides that the simple pass to the overlapping Fullback or Winger is not effective/direct enough, so he tries to float a ball behind the defence à la David Silva. They never come off.
Very frustrating imho.
Still can't be THE excuse each week.
It's a fact - not an excuse.
It is an excuse.
Excuse/fact/reason whatever - it's true though. Look at the quality there - they are light years ahead of us.
I think you are watching a different game because I would not call this citeh performance "light years ahead of us"
If you think we should be beating Man City, a team that is one of the best in the world, with players that cost tens of what ours cost - then I think you've been smoking crack.
We should not be beating them but sitting back and waiting for the mandatory goal to come is not the answer either.
Apparently Weimann threw up just as he got off the pitch...
Shocking 3 minutes. Rest was below standard. Like one poster said in the match thread: We sat back on a 3:0 defeat.
Today showed us just how influential Westwood is.
Cleverly is my Motm.
To me he looked lost in midfield. Yes, he won the ball back well a few times but it seemed like he didn't know where to position himself half the time.
He obviously needs time. I really do hope he comes good.
Who knows how many players have had it and are still recovering? Who knows how many players who played are suffering still but carried on. On paper arsenal are so so so much better than we are. Bit of perspective please.
Were Liverpool not?
Guys it's not like their sleeping next to each other.
They have personal trainers etc. Most of you sound like you believe they all live at bmh and maybe even share toothbrushes.
What does any of this have to do with Liverpool? If it's something like the norovirus (which I've had multiple times) you can catch it just by simply being in the same room as a sick person within 48hours of them being sick.
Don't be stupid, it's not like they're eating the same food, in the same cafeterias together, sweating and breathing heavily in the same gym, in close contact in training in drills, socialising after work etc etc etc
Ok you made me look stupid.
Edit: I made myself look stupid.
