96 goals and 41 assists for Salah in 154 games.
Not a bad purchase for about 45m.3 -
If they bought him off us they could've got him for 800kChris_from_Sidcup said:96 goals and 41 assists for Salah in 154 games.

Gomez is getting absolutely crucified on twitter for his first half performance0

At least he didnt give the ball straight to BamfordChris_from_Sidcup said:Gomez is getting absolutely crucified on twitter for his first half performance0 -
He’s not been good but Van Dijk has been terrible. Gomez a scapegoat because Van Dijk is one of the best CBs in the world and a fans favourite. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been awful though.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Gomez is getting absolutely crucified on twitter for his first half performance

Leeds will cause a lot of teams problems this season, Bielsa isn't going to change his style or go more defensive. They've had more possession than Liverpool so far too.

Chelsea bought him for £11m. Mourinho started him half a dozen times before getting rid of him (eventually sold for £12m). The same man sold KDB for £18m.Chris_from_Sidcup said:96 goals and 41 assists for Salah in 154 games.

Think there biggest problem will be conceding too many goals with the way they play. Works ok in the Championship when you have the attacking players they had, but I don’t see Bamford or Rodrigo getting loads of goals.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Leeds will cause a lot of teams problems this season, Bielsa isn't going to change his style or go more defensive.

Leeds deserve that!!... Cracker of a goal0

Liverpool being somewhat matched in the "pressing" department!1

Bamford didn’t get loads of goals last year either though. Quite a few different players chip in. Their second top scorer last year was Own Goal.cafcfan1990 said:

Biggest problem they’ll have is getting Bielsa to sign beyond this season, no chance of it happening imo.0 -

Leeds very very impressive I must say.0

That was a blast to watch!But before everyone starts saying how well Leeds will do this year, remember that Norwich beat ManCity 3-2 last year and also looked great and everyone said the same thing. But their poor defense never improved and eventually other clubs figured out how to shut them down and they got wiped out.We will see!2

Fair point. Bamford still scored 20 odd though didn’t he, 18 league goals?Leeds_Addick said:

I do agree that Leeds are good to watch, and that they have plenty of players capable of chipping in. Just think it’s a very risky strategy in this league. Worked last year because they conceded the lowest amount of goals in the Championship, but I think they will get punished a lot more this year, as tonight showed.0 -
Leeds blew me away last night. That's a proper footballing system. Their midfielders runs to overload the opposition defence are almost choreographed. You have 2-4 players begin sprinting into the box or breaking the defence's lines at the exact same time, always leaving men spare because the opp can't organise quick enough. We're so used to talking about being organised in defence but you can have an organised system of attack.
It strikes me that nearly every player is quite similar, as well. Smallish, strong, fast, very fit and highly technical. There's no clatter-you type player or pacey yet flimsy winger, they're all similar cogs in a machine. (Bamford appears to be the weak link and anamoly in this but his replacement fits the bill).
Disagree that they will struggle in the Prem or their style won't suit. Bielsa is a master tactician. They will do well.2 -
4 penalties in 5 games so far on opening weekend0

Did anybody else catch Andros Townsend's post match interview on MOD, discussing Palace's attacking threat he said, " Hopefully me and myself and Wilf....".
2 Andros Townsend's, there's only 2 Andros Townsend's 5 -
Shocked how high Doherty is playing on that right hand side for Spurs.Fine being there for Wolves with 3 CBs behind your but in a back 4 it’s leaving so much space behind and Alderweireld doesn’t have the pace to keep up with Richarlison.0

Aurier played in a similar position last season as well.stackitsteve said:Shocked how high Doherty is playing on that right hand side for Spurs.Fine being there for Wolves with 3 CBs behind your but in a back 4 it’s leaving so much space behind and Alderweireld doesn’t have the pace to keep up with Richarlison.0 -
