Mohamed Salah

[bigfan 67]

Well Said

I don't get how people can be so harsh on a kid who hasn't even played a complete season with us. It's harsh and unfair in my book.
He's young, he's new to the league and he came from frigging Switzerland. They don't scream physical league to me (although I wouldn't have a clue).

Yes, he's erratic, and he has to polish a few things in his game. At age 22 what have you guys expected exactly? Especially amidst a transition to the hardest league to fit in? Give the kid a break and have some trust in the manager who decided he could be useful. Mourinho brought him here with a plan, and that's to have five (six if you count Ramires) players for the AM positions that wouldn't mind being down in the pecking order - probably because he's aware of his age, his own progression, etc. He won't always be okay with that, but now he seems to be.

He will start matches, he will get some play time and as others said, it doesn't look like he creates problems or complains about being in the bench. Give the kid some time to get used to the league, to settle in the tactics and to mature. All those things considered, he's done very well so far if you askd. I really am a patient person (except when it comes to stupidity, then I have no patience at all), but it's hard to stay quiet when many people are trashing a 22yo that came from a soft league and has only 4 months of Premier League football under his belt. Also this idea that we must have 22 top players in the squad is delusional. Not even the top of the top teams have top class cover to all positions in the pitch. Salah is fine, he wasn't a waste of money, there wasn't anywhere else we should have spent that money and everything is okay. We finally have depth in the midfield as a whole (pivot and attacking) and I wish we had a third striker that could offer the same as Salah can as 5th AM. We have 10 players for 5 positions and while some of them aren't that amazing, they're decent enough - as it should be. Again, a squad of 22 amazing players isn't possible even on FM...

So, Salah going to get 30 matches somehow right??

Relax, it's only our first match out of 50-60. Injuries and suspensions won't avoid us.

The Egyptian fans on Facebook are going to go nuts

The amount of games we play he could easily get 30 games. We've got two defenders on the bench which isn't normal for us I think, plus an injury to one of the AMs puts him in.

That's without mentioning that this might not be the best game for him.

well, i said barring injury/suspensions..

The fact is that he is number 5 out of the ams and the fact jose will probably play ramires-matic-cesc most of the games, i really cant see it, unless as i said before someone gets injured/suspended.

And if Chelsea gets another CF, than 30 is definitely impossible...

From september we are going to have 2 matches every week. CL, Carling Cup, FA-cup from January.. José'll need to rotate the players. 5 players for 3 spots is not that much.. Even if none of our amfs got injured(which I highly doubt), Salah can easily play in 30-35 matches.

Jose doesnt rotate 5 ams.....

and if anything, ramires-cesc-matic will start as much as possible...

unless jose plays a b team in the fa cup, cc cup, i find it highly unlikely salah will get that many games.

Why no Salah, im so disappointed for the kid

[edetarod 2,155]

he earned a place with his preseason i thought

[nazzab 180]

its better for salah to move from Chelsea ... he needs to play as much minutes as possible ... not to watch live games of his team on TV

i don't know actually why Chelsea bought the kid !?

its seems Chelsea wanted to spoil Liverpool plans on the expense of the kid's future and career .

Come on, it's only our first game... We have 5 players for 3 spots. He will get his chance.
