Football data editor at Opta, @michael_reid11: "We obviously have data for all the Premier League era, so from 1992-93 onwards, but Salah's records were so ridiculous that we realised we had to go beyond that. The amount of times we were doing stats and you'd try to put other players up on a leaderboard but Salah would be just there ahead of them. It would be just impossible to get a table where Salah wasn't above this player because he was so multifaceted. What we tried to do was get maybe two or three Salah records or stats lined up before every game. He got to a point where every time he gets a goal or assist, there's some sort of record he's breaking."

@Goonersareus@Amy_Moll99 Martinelli did nothing wrong. Jesus wept is this really the take? Presumably having seen it with your own eyes this is what you actually believe?
Liverpools worst start since 1952...
Man City's worst start under Pep Guardiola..
The two front runners in the last 8 years...
This is why this is the worst premier league season for a decade...
Lowest starts for a decade...
Quick reminder that Michael Oliver didn’t see enough to overturn the decision when Doku went studs first into Mac Allister’s chest a couple of seasons ago.
Yet he’s seen enough there for it to be considered a clear & obvious error.
Liverpool was everything Thiago Alcantara looked for in a club ❤️
🗣️ "My time at Liverpool encompassed everything I look for in a club and everything I’d always loved. The feeling of competing for every trophy, of being dominant on the pitch, yet giving off that sense of being a fighting club, where every day you have to battle for a goal.
It wasn’t that we fell short of anything in particular; you just had to really work for it. At Liverpool, I found that blend of being and feeling dominant, while also working hard to make it happen.
After such a long struggle to become a footballer, then to become the footballer I wanted to be, the hardest step was accepting that it was coming to an end.
It wasn’t difficult because of what would come next, but because I had to let go of something I was in love with, due to circumstances beyond my control."
@nonewthing The only thing that baffles me is that there are genuine human beings that profess to like football that still think you've got a single clue what you're talking about. Absolute bullshit merchant who has never played footy in their life and it's painfully obvious
If we had democracy you wouldn't have to wait 4/5 years unable to do anything, before you were forced to tick a box choosing between two parties neither of which you really like.
Before finally have to sit for another 4/5 years while they make decisions almost nobody wants.
The number of accounts on here attributing Liverpool's perfect start purely to luck is absolutely insane. It's not luck to have world class players all over the pitch or to pressure teams into mistakes
