Tbf, I think there are more guys here on this forum worried about him not playing than Salah himself.

I think people are confused as to why he wasn't even on the bench to start with, even though he is fit.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Fact is we bought him and we need to start rotate. It's not about being worried, its about using what we have and giving it a chance. because we all know how we've looked sometimes when Hazard isnt at his best and for instance Oscar/willian isnt playing.

Spot on, and add to the fact he is cup tied. I can't see why he shouldn't at least get a decent chunk of playing time against Villa next week.

So because we bought him that means he should play? That is what you are suggesting. Be serious. You don't take chances when you are chasing the title. You might rotate the odd 2 players but apart from that you want to see more or less your best team or players who have been playing regularly. Salah has just joined and he needs some adjusting time. We want to win the league, not play around with it. This is not friendly matches.

I think Mourinho has used Salah in the right way, especially when you see that we are top of the league.

Mourinho did say next season will be his season. Dont think he will get much playing time unless we are like 3 or 4 goals up.

I dont consider playing Salah "taking a chance" as if our title dreams would blow up if he plays. Just remember how poor we've looked offensively at times when playing 4-3-3. He offers great pace and width.

Yes we're on top of the league, but its quite naive to think we are because Salah hasnt played.

Yes and that is why he has come on in matches when we looked bereft of ideas attacking but he never really changed the game and then Schurrle got form and edged Salah away from the team. Well I won't say it like that but a reason we have been winning recently is because of the team blend and some individual brilliance and right now just don't think Salah has as that team chemistry as he has not been here that long.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I have a feeling he's been told to strengthen up at the gym by mourinho. So that he doesn't lose balls easily, he'll be ready but its difficult now because we've found ourselves in a title run-in

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Should have come on against Tottenham when they went down to 10.

Should have come on against Tottenham when they went down to 10.

And against Fulham when we lead 3-0 and José claimed that Hazard should be rested

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Which I personally think is understandable from José's point of view. Very risky to throw him into big games with so much at stake. Give him a few cameos here and there, then give him a full pre-season and we'll all see what the fuss is about.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

There's no excuse for him not be getting a chance. Both Willian and Oscar are hopelessly out of form at the moment.

[duo11bluecl 207]

Next week need to start against Arsenal imo, could be a good way for him to introduce himself

[Yeboii 1,844]

Either him or Schurrle to start against Arsenal.. Must be!

I agree that he needs to get involved with the team more. He was actually going to be subbed in against Villa and was warming up, but after Willian got sent off, Jose signaled him to get back on the bench.

I don't think he will start next game. Jose will think it is a big game and we can't afford more bad chemistry. My best guess is that he will be on the bench and maybe take part in the second half.

I think Shurrle is in better form as far as team wise is concerned. I think he should start and provide us with penetration runs. But then Hazard and Oscar/Willian will have to be sharp to pick him out with good passes in order for us to see him threaten the goal or create chances.

I think Salah needs to be given his chance now. We have tried everything else, and it hasn't really worked.

Exactly. Nothing has worked. But somehow we are top ofthe table. So in the next match, lets throw in salah who has no start so far against a team like arsenal and in a match which could very well be a title decider.

Great suggestion. Anymore???
