The Premier League GOAT

[- @nmrdkml]

@v10lexuslfa @LFC_Franklin01 @yakobper90 What a title race win in the 35 years before Salah ❤️🔥🤯

No Premier League? No problem hermano, we’re definitely not more similar to Leicester in the modern era than United and Chelsea! 💪🏼💪🏼

[- @nmrdkml]

You will NEVER win a UCL in the modern era when you have the easy draw.

The football Gods just don’t allow it to happen.

Arsenal played UEL-level sides all tournament, they deserve this.

[- @nmrdkml]

• Scapegoat the man who gave you a career ✅

• Go along with the hierarchy in trying to shove him out the backdoor ✅

• Skulk in the dugout as that legend gets serenaded by Anfield months later ✅

• Shoved out the backdoor yourself ✅

What a beautiful, deserved ending ❤️

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

[- @nmrdkml]

@HeIIMemories @lawyer_sgood @deepyy_ Roddick retired with a positive H2H vs Novak lol

[- @nmrdkml]

@deepyy_ Novak isn’t on this list for a Wimbledon he won facing…

Garin, Fucsovics, Shapo, Berrettini 😭😭😭😭

Have some fucking shame dawg

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 Ages haha

Because it had to be in-context of game state, I knew a lot off the top of my head, but so many I had to check the game and then categorise it.

Maybe that’s why I’m riding out for 18/19, he broke the deadlock so many times first half of that season.

[- @nmrdkml]

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 Fair enough man, I personally think that 18/19 Salah was really close to POTY level, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

In terms of what I actually believe his 4th best season is, it’s 19/20. But I prefer 18/19 because of the pressure he was under after 17/18.

[- @nmrdkml]

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 I don’t want this to sound like whataboutism, but my point is, Salah’s goal drought was magnified because of the outcome.

Finest margins PL season EVER, if Liverpool get it over the line, with Salah’s first half + last 7-8 games, does anyone ever care about that drought?

[- @nmrdkml]

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 18/19 is an unparalleled season though, standards-wise.

Salah’s PL goal drought lasted for seven games.

In the FOUR games Liverpool dropped points, Mane scored once in two, and NOBODY scored in the other two.

Compare that to what Haaland was allowed to do this year.

[- @nmrdkml]

@MattWolfenden_ @Miles_Baker08 @lukestanley03 Oh mate, you really don’t want to play this game.

Bruno 25/26 - 5 non-penalty goals, 12 open-play assists.

Salah 24/25 - 20 non-penalty goals, 18 open-play assists.

I didn’t give a shit about set pieces or penalties lol until you brought them up.

[- @nmrdkml]

@Miles_Baker08 @lukestanley03 No Miles, but Salah got 3 less last year and made up for it with a measly TWENTY extra goals.

[- @nmrdkml]

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 • 2+ dribbles at >50%, so little difference from 17/18.

• Scored in 2/3 most important games of the UCL (Napoli + Spurs)

• NUTS Barca (A) performance which is forgotten because of the result.

If his first half of 18/19 season form had continued, he’d have two 17/18s B2B.

[- @nmrdkml]

@Z9Priv_ @DoubleA_2208 Need to re-state my 18/19 case again.

• 19 NPG + 3 penalties all won by himself. His second least BCM, too.

• 8 assists, 16 BCC (third most ITL) with 2 pens won, which *technically* ties him with Hazard on 18 BCC.

• Most points won via G/A in a 97 point campaign.

(1/2)

[- @nmrdkml]

@Jordan_End0Stan Yep.

This is the percentage of games per PL season in which Salah got a goal, assist or created an Opta-defined Big Chance.

17/18 - 91% (most in PL history)
18/19 - 71%
19/20 - 65%
20/21 - 74%
21/22 - 78%
22/23 - 70%
23/24 - 80%
24/25 - 86%
25/26 - 73%

[- @nmrdkml]

Mohamed Salah’s career Liverpool G/A

293 (!) of Salah’s 380 G/A (77%) were either:

• Liverpool’s first goal
• The game’s first goal
• To put Liverpool ahead
• To equalise for Liverpool
• When Liverpool were losing
• To put Liverpool two goals ahead

@puxswap Stat-padding would be getting a goal or assist when your team is already 2 or more goals up.

Liverpool regularly battered teams. But Salah very rarely got involved in that stat-padding, always when it mattered.

[- @nmrdkml]

This doesn’t account for Salah’s G/A that mattered after the fact.

E.g., Salah got 4 G/A in Liverpool’s 6-3 victory over Spurs in 24/25.

Only his assist at 3-1 counted, despite his later G/A being crucial to the victory.

This breakdown is purely G/A in-context of gamestate.

[- @nmrdkml]

BREAKDOWN:

Liverpool’s first goal of the game or breaking the game’s deadlock: 134 G/A

Deadlock already broken - Salah G/A to equalise or put Liverpool ahead: 81 G/A

To put Liverpool two goals ahead, or when Liverpool were losing: 95 G/A

The definition of an anti-statpadder.
