Only been dropped for 2 games, not sure that’s a fair benchmark.

Well it’s the last three games he has been dropped and we have improved , surely it’s the only benchmark you can use at this moment

We will see better over the next month as he is away


He is 33 years old now , if his legs are going then it’s hard to see how much impact he can make over an extended period

We spent a lot of money on the likes of Isak and Wirtz who play differently to Salah , now gives us the opportunity of building round them two

Improved? Draws to 2 promoted sides, one of which you threw away a 2 goal lead and a win at West Ham.

As for his age and legs, you tipped him on here to be the PL top goalscorer for the season when he was already 33.😂😂

Yes improved -the previous 7 games we lost 6 getting stuffed by Forest , Man City and then PsV in the CL

And the same two promoted sides that recently took points of Arsenal and beat Chelsea


And yes I thought he would be the top goalscorer at the start of the season
 
the most special moment in Football is nearly upon us...

The FA Cup 3rd round draw.

A day that have looked forward to ever since I was a little boy, huddled round a transistor radio with my schoolmates on a Monday lunchtime. The radio and invisible old men in suits may have been replaced by ex-players and pay per view TV services, but the draw itself is no less special. Newcastle number 26.

I'll take a home game against Bournemouth

Now that post has actually shocked me.
One because of the factual information provided.
Two, it’s not very often you get a post on here about your own club without rose tinted glasses worn. And I don’t mean you. 👍
Could Chelsea actually be battling mid table with Utd and Liverpool 😳

I’m only half joking with the sack Maresca stuff but there are some question marks and our fixture list terrifies me based on performances and results against those teams.

We did beat Barcelona 2 weeks ago and looked good against Arsenal. We have a squad that can’t keep fit but we are 5th. But 2 steps backwards since then.

So it stands you’re defensively dodgy and Salah may, may, just think he’s being unfairly treated.

I don’t think his legs have gone in just over 3 months.
He’s still one of the top 5 goalscorers in the World imo.

We also weren’t scoring goals 🤷‍♂️

Hence why changes were made at the back and in the forwards

He isn’t being treated unfairly , he is being treated as a professional football who is off form

And his first reaction during a difficult time is to throw his toys out
