Yakubu wey miss one on one with goal keeper get mouth to call Salah name ?

Salah's past achievement is even brighter than what yakubu has not even achieved.

There was no goalkeeper. He missed one on one with open net

He is not a world but he plays in a big club and he is in their first 11. He won trophies you never won.

that is why haaland didn't shine in Madrid or di maria didn't shine at Manu abi


Haaland in Madrid kwa? But no one knew Haaland from Molde and Salzburg till Dortmund. In fact he was so unknown Manchester United refused to buy him when he was in Molde


Well for Di Maria in Manchester United.... look at him in Real and after Manchester United the difference is clear 😂😂😂

Yak is high again
A play that will walk into any team out there for the past 5 to 7yrs isn't world class, kindly tell us what makes a world class
Ask the same guy and he'll tell you Haaland and Mbappe are world class. Salah has been greatly disrespected. It's now too much!

check his age at Chelsea. His good performances at fiorentina and Roma earned him the Liverpool transfer. And your argument is baseless. Mane and coutinho have struggled playing football since they left Liverpool. Does it mean that they are not quality or the club's they transferred to are useless? Bayern and Barca respectively


Nobody's argument is baseless oga. Don't be rude we're exchanging opinion on a sport we live. Does your view being different from mine make it baseless? Una too dey make person excuse himself.

Coutinho is an average player that was found out at Barca.
Mane had integration issues at Bayern.
There are always extenuating circumstances to consider.

He has a point (except Adebayor and Jay-Jay on that list. Okocha na pure sentiments grin) A player will always succeed in a good team. And Liverpool is phenomenal.

I've always wondered why didn't Salah shine at Chelsea, Fiorentina and Roma? He's not so good with Egypt too. Salah is good but.....

Drogba, Kanu, Yaya all individually brilliant players won multiple trophies. Kanu even won an FA Cup with Portsmouth a low ranked club. They have done well for their countries too. Mane won the AFCON over Salah

Maybe it's just me but I felt Mane leaving exposed Salah.
And you didn't wonder why KDB who spent two seasons at Chelsea didn't shine but wonder why Salah who spent just 5 months at Chelsea didn't shine.
Salah was Fiorentina best plaher in the half season he spent there and that was what prompted Roma to sign him. At Roma he won the best player of the season award, maybe you were too young then

Mane cross the 15 league mark just once in his entire career, Salah hold 28 records currently in England and yeah Mane hold just one which is the fastest hat trick, Salah hold the fastest hat trick record in any European competition.

Adebayor, Kanu and Okocha, ahead of Salah, this guy is a joker.
Salah is a world class player anytime any day

Maybe you need to ask what are the criteria for considering one world class...

Maybe you should tell us the criteria.
You all use numbers of goals and assist for Ronaldo and Messi to rank them as world class, but not for Salah whose numbers of goals and assist are like that of a striker.
Salah is world class and far above all those he mentioned if people truly consider Salah as an African and not an Arab.

Klopp kept Salah and allowed Mane to go, so Klopp that built a team does not know who he can rely on.

I like Ayegbeni, but if he were to be a striker now with the way teams set up in EPL, he may have flopped. You can't be resting, holding and dragging players out with your body like an armoured tank.

Salah is world class and greatest African player to play in EPL and the figures and influence are excellent. Always in the top ranks for goals and assist.
Don't forget he lost the Afcon finals on penalties to Senegal.

Anytime I hear Yakubu name I dey always remember that miss

Omo! I bought a brand new plasma TV to watch that game. To see that miss in that widescreen was even worse. grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy

Otherwise, Yak's goal tally in EPL was one of the best for an African player, even when only playing for average clubs.

Because Sallah plays football somewhat effortlessly, and does not look energetic or gangling like Drogba, Kanu or Toure, people underestimate his skills. He's absolutely top draw.

If not because he's playing in the era of some phenomenal talents, just like Thierry Henry was back then, Sallah should have won Ballon D'or by now.

Baseless does not insinuate rudeness, it just meant that there was no basis for your postulation. Who dey quick vex no dey analyse sports

Maybe I was. You Gen Z people sef.
What was his goal returns at Fiorentina and Roma?
Imagine kid referring to someone his father's age as Gen Z. You are just empty, Mane scored just 2 goals and 1 assists in 22 games for Metz while Salah scored 5 goals and 4 assists in 19 games for Chelsea.
At Fiorentina where he was on loan he wasn't a starter but still managed 10 goals and 4 assists in 25 games.
At Southampton where Mane was considered very successful he scored just 25 goals and 14 assists in 75 games while Salah scored 35 goals and 22 assists in 83 games for Roma and was voted player of the year.
It took Thierry Henry 17 league games before he scored his first PL goal, and yeah Drogba scored 12, 8, 6, 5 and 4 leagues in in different EPL seasons, was he a flop in those seasons ?
I have been watching football from 1986 till date, I can cure your ignorance with facts and datas.

Here is Salah's stats compared to the legendary Arjen Robben.
Remember this comparison was done last year, Mo has since scored over 20 goals for club and country.

Jealousy and envy.

Mr. Aiyegbeni, even Monday Odiaka in the days was better than him. Always missing clear chances.

Mentioning Adebayor in his list shows that Aiyegbeni does not understand the word “world class”.

Salah didn't shine at Chelsea because those were his younger years. He shined at Fiorentina and at Roma but definitely those weren't his peak years because he was still growing even then. He is definitely good with Egypt. Problem is he hasn't won the AFCON. Salah is the highest goal score in the history of the Egypt national team. He has played in four AFCON and played in the final twice.

He didn't shine at Chelsea because Mourinho didn't give him a chance same as KDB. Before going to Chelsea, Salah was a monster in Basel when he replaced Shakiri.
