Mohamed Salah

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I said it before, but Salah really fell into the perfect situation with the position he's playing.

His first goal yesterday was wonderful, but look at the 2nd goal, that's how he has mostly been scoring - He's standing in the middle and the ball finds its way to him and he finishes it off.

If he were to return to Chelsea, I think he'll still struggle playing as a disciplined winger.

That first goal won't happen at Chelsea because I'm yet to see a team leave just 2 players at the back against us.

We gave him chances against smaller teams where they defend, and he was so poor because there was no space to run. He loses the ball too much for a big team imo the only thing that has surprised me is his finishing.

Remember how many times he shot to the sky or off target when he had a chance to score?

It's a case of lukaku at Everton and lukaku at Chelsea. No space from opponents against Chelsea, space from opponents when you play in a smaller team.

Mourinho also likes his right winger defending because hazard doesn't defend as much, so if you want the freedom of just not tracking back like willian is doing and schurlle couldn't do then you have to be better than hazard.

The only player who I regret is KDB not salah. I liked him (passing, crossing, long range shooting, and freekicks) and never knew how he lost his place after one poor manutd match.

I have my eyes open... i saw Salah in Chelsea and he looked like its way out of his league. Im glad he's doing fine in Fiorentina but its a completely different thing. He plays there as some kind of 2nd striker and they play on counter attacks, it suits his amazing pace, but here he would never succeed. As for Cuadrado, i mostly saw him in the last WC, so not a lot, but he looks a player with better techniques who got more variety of abilities.

His directness on the counter would have been great for us. Much better than the attacking threat Willian poses.

Juan played in the same league as Salah is now. He has already out performed in just over a month.

I presume it's down to luck?

Have you seen Cuadrado play for 90 minutes straight? No.

I haven't seen Salah play 90 minutes for chelsea this season also!

hmmm.... League cup maybe? Last season? No? Salah had some oppertunities for chelsea and did bad in most of them. Cuadrado started 1 game. Judge him after he starts atleast 3 games.

He was actualy realy good since game one for fiorentina. I wonder why Cuadrado needs so long to ''adjust'' I read here every day. Yeah its bigger club, bigger team, but its also a better player, you dont pay 30m for someone who needs half season to adjust. One month yes, then when he gets chance he needs to be one of more visible players, not playing side role until he is sold.

League cup No, last season yes he played 90 minutes against southampton and stoke and he was decent in those matches.

He played vs Shrewsbury if im not mistaken. Remember THE shoot?

I dont think so, he's not clever enough and his passing, ball control and technical abilities arent good enough.

Out-performed Cuadrado? did you see Cuadrado plays in Fiorentina a lot so you can actually decide Salah's been better in 7 games? or you say it just becuase of his goals? cause thats ridiculous and not very serious.

But its been only a month, so lets wait and see. Cuadrado needs to show more until the end of the season but its not too late to do that. And btw, a 30m player today is not the 30m player of 3-4 seasons ago, you dont need to be a superstar to cost 30m. And Cuadrado is clearly not a superstar yet, if you ever saw him. I dont think its a surprise its taking him time here, since he only played for a team like Fiorentina, an average european side.

Are u serious !!! every player has a stupid shoots

Remember costa shoot with spain !

and hazard vs spurs !!!

[lito 180]

Some fans here says cuadrado Needs to be given a run of games constancy to judge, but i wonder why they didn't say the same with Salah who was play one match per month!!

Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, Salah is better suited to play in Fiorentina's system than Chelsea's? He may become Chelsea quality, but he will never fit in the system.

[quickpassnmove 924]

doesn't matter either way for Chelsea except that Chelsea do need more people who shoot and score in the future. money or the player back in London... either way. Jose's PL side might not be his place.

Because its a bigger and better league. Because what Jose asks for from his wingers is different to many teams. Because he isn't playing regularly enough to find his stride.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

End of the day I'm elated Salad is playing so well! It will only drive up his transfer kitty and help us purchase Pogba.

[LondonsFinest 692]

If he really wants to come back, no option or extentions can hold him. I doubt they can extend/buy if he wants to come back. Would be really funny if Cuadrado makes some mistake and everybody starts slating that we should get Salah back.
