Stat Shows Mohamed Salah Ranks Among Liverpool's All-Time Goalscoring Elite After Impressive Start



Since Mohamed Salah's €42m move from Roma in the summer, the mercurial Egyptian has become a key figure in Liverpool's quest for silverware this season.

Having grabbed the opener against Maribor in midweek, the 25-year-old continues to delight the Kop with his goalscoring exploits and his desire in everything he does.

Into double figures for the season already, Salah's goal against Maribor has cemented Salah's place in Liverpool folklore, as this stat from Andrew Beasley exemplifies.

Lots of caveats (age, starts/subs etc) but goals in first 16 LFC apps:
12 Fowler
11 Sturridge
10 SALAH, Torres
8 Aldridge
7 Suárez, Dalglish

Although it may be too early to say that Mohammed Salah will reach the legendary status of the strikers on that list, Liverpool fans will be hoping it is a sign of great things to come.

With five goals and two assists in the Premier League, as well as five goals in the Champions league, it has certainly been a storming start for Mohamed Salah, who's second spell in England is turning out to be a hugely successful move for both him, and Liverpool.

Salah and Liverpool face a trip down south to face West Ham on Saturday evening, and their star striker will be hoping to add to his collection of goals so far.

The Reds will be hoping to keep pace with the top five, while Slaven Bilic's side will be looking to move clear of any danger of slipping into the relegation zone after a very slow start to the season

Wow!!! So much juicy news here which are good to read. LOL!!!

Mane is back baby!!! Hopefully he does not get injured again while on international duty. This will lead to Liverpool pointing finger at Senegal and vice versa. Just like how humans love to blame others for their wrong doings.

Klopp say Liverpool are learning to deal with double decker buses. Hope the team can crash and destroy all these teams without balls!!!

YNWA.

[Baigonggong]

Ah Gong was delighted to hear that Mane is fit again and back in training with the first team . Ah Gong hope that the team can pick up another 3 points for todays' game against West Ham .

This Sallah has indeed been the best buy so far this summer . Hope he stays fit and continues on his wonderful run. He really put shame on that headless chicken .

His finishing is astrocious..... Klopp need to brush him up on his shooting skills.

David James: 'Even de Gea can't save Liverpool'

TNP

Former Reds goalkeeper James believes the club's defensive woes are down to confidence issues

Former Liverpool and England goalkeeper David James believes that the defensive problems at his former club run so deep that even signing a world-class goalkeeper would not fix them.

The 47-year-old, who played 277 games for the Reds from 1992 to 1999, was speaking to The New Paper in an interview at the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport hotel yesterday.

Current shot-stoppers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have come in for heavy criticism for errors that have contributed to Liverpool's poor defensive record of 16 goals conceded in 10 games - the sixth-worst in the Premier League.

But James said: "Even if we take Manchester United's David de Gea, who is currently the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and put him in the Liverpool goal, would that make their defence the best in the Premier League? No.

"Because he will still be exposed, like how Simon and Karius have been."

James himself is no stranger to criticism. When he was at Liverpool, he earned the nickname "Calamity James" for his frequent clangers.

But the 1.94m-tall James was also known for his reflexes and shot-stopping ability, which earned him 53 caps for England.

He held the Premier League record for most clean sheets (169), until Arsenal custodian Petr Cech surpassed him in 2015. Cech has since extended the record to 194.

James, who also played for Watford, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester City, believes two issues contribute to Liverpool's defensive woes.

One is a lack of confidence at the back.

Said the affable James: "When people start shooting and scoring (frequently), you've got to be either incredibly strong or incredibly stupid not to start thinking: I'm going to start conceding goals.

"Mistakes happen, that's the reality of things. It's about how you deal with them."

Another issue, said James, is his belief that the "environment" within Liverpool is not conducive to improving goalkeepers.

IMPROVEMENT

"Unless you buy someone who is old and experienced, generally you buy a player hoping he will improve, and that in turn will improve the team," he said.

"Simon was one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League when Liverpool signed him, and Karius was one of the highest-rated in the German Bundesliga.

"But I don't see such improvements in either of them since they've joined.

"So, possibly, environmentally (at the club), there is an issue there. You solve that, you get better goalkeepers."

James also risked the ire of Liverpool fans by picking arch-rivals Manchester United as the most likely English side to win the Champions League, despite Tottenham Hotspur beating holders Real Madrid and Manchester City downing Serie A leaders Napoli in midweek.

He said: "People are saying at the moment United are only scraping through 1-0 or 2-0, but in reality, they've scraped through three points each time.

"And they are doing it now, when they're not playing particularly well. We all know Manchester United are capable of much more.

"So, for example, you have Paris Saint-Germain as the most exciting team right now, with Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in their attack.

"But you could imagine if they came up against Jose Mourinho's team, that they might struggle and get frustrated."

James and fellow former Liverpool players Jari Litmanen and Phil Babb, as well as ex-Arsenal stalwarts Robert Pires and Nigel Winterburn, were transiting in Singapore.

They left for Indonesia yesterday for tomorrow's Balikpapan Masters Cup, but will be back in Singapore for the Battle of the Masters tournament at the National Stadium next Saturday.

Good point!

Sallah has a knack of getting into very good goal scoring positions and situations but his conversion rate is poor, really lacks clinical execution.

Firmino is another one.

Lallana is yet another.

The best finisher is still Daniel. Not surprised since he is a proper striker/CF.

Salah would have had more if he finished off all those easy chances better - Easily 15 goals by now
Hopefully he won't miss too much of these any longer and starts putting them into the back of the net
Probs will hit 20 goals this season seeing how his name is on the scoresheet almost every game

Exactly what I said! But another bro said here earlier he is a winger so should not really be blamed!
My point is whether u are winger, striker or forward u are still playing in an upfront position! All these missing chances are due to confidence n Salah is lacking that now. Salah can score no doubt but he will easily missed another 3 or 4 sitters!

Thierry Henry was a winger too..... and look at his conversion rate for the Gunners !! He was doing so well that finally Wenger used him as a striker.

C. Ronaldo was also a winger during his Manure days! U look @ his scoring rate in Manure! It was superb.

[masterwanker]

I honestly don't care how the team plays . All I want for the team is to get another 3 points and hopefully another clean sheet .

[The Milk Man]

Hurray..... Mane is back and Hendo is not playing or even on the bench.
These are good omens for tonight's match......

Suarez was a winger at Ajax and was their top scorer..... he remained as a winger after coming to Liverpool and scored more goals than striker Sturridge
