Arsenal fan here. Salah has 156 goals and 69 assists in 256 career EPL matches. Thats insane statistics. Pundits and fans do not appear to realize the reason why players like Salah and De Bruyne generate so many goals. Both players are extremely aggressive and actually take risks in the final third. More and more players, including attacking players, are increasingly fixated on keeping possession and playing safe instead of taking risks to generate goals.
I agree with you 100%, the older heads tho were watching players who would take 3-4 players on and then score, but the point I don't agree with is that In today's game, a player (like salah, saka ect) can probably take people on and score, but it's not what the manager wants and they could be dropped for ignoring instructions
Seriously, anyone who thinks Salah isn't world class then you don't have a clue about football. He's now 31 years old and has maybe dropped off a little and all of a sudden you want to question how good he is, that's insane. What he says or does off the pitch has nothing to do with his footballing ability, I'm not a Liverpool fan by the way.
Simon Jordan is just being contrarian. I guess TalkSport do this for clicks. I am not a Liverpool supporter but I know Salah is world-class. This is just clickbaity stuff.
I'm LFC, lifelong. He is a very very good, world class finisher on his day and when in form. He is not a great footballer. He gives the ball away far too much when he is in possession, either a bad pass or smashing it into an opposing defenders legs. He's not a great all round footballer, far from it. He jumps out of and backs out of almost every tackle, never puts it all on the line. Don't get me wrong, been great for the club and football in his goal scoring, but IMHO easily replaceable by any other 20-25 goal a season player. No truly world class player is replaceable. 2 amazing seasons in 7 or 8 is not world class. There is no way has he been at a consistent level that gets into truly world class as a conversation for me. Can't pass or do the basics of football very well at times. Is fully reliant on great players around him, and could never when it's required dig to the depths it takes, as say Stevie G did and could, to drag a poorly performing team or just lower quality team through game after game and stepping up where a trophy is on the line. The season defending the title, where was he and the others doing it? Sorry you huge fans of, I get it, but he's not world class.
Im not for this statement from Simon. I like his views, but this one takes the mick. Being out of form for 2 months doesnt make his 8 year spell mean nothing

Recency bias and I am not surprised. Forget goals, the guy has the 2nd highest number of assists ever in the Premier League for Liverpool. He creates and scores goals. Don't let a couple of months of poor form obscure your opinion. He is world-class.
Salah's contribution to this Liverpool team for 7 years has been nothing short of remarkable and the reason he's world class is he's turned up in big moments several times and delivered 25/30 goals every season in all comps. It's undisputed and for Simon to hate him because he dives 😮
This is ridiculous. Salah is world class and his numbers doesn’t lie nor as Danny rightly pointed out, he has been one of the players that show up in the big games. TalkSport at its best with clickbait stuff.
Simon, most often your opinions are so confusing and it appears as if you have to say things for the sake of it. Not liking a particular player is understandable but to say that your dislike of him doesn’t make him a world class player is just insane. You’re just contradictory in every way.
This whole conversation isn’t even a debate worth wasting time on. I’m a City fan but I still know Salah is an all time EPL level player. Not just Liverpool, the entire league 😂😂😂 This is blatant disrespect
The man who tried to use salahs poor performance vs Everton where he scored 2 to downplay him is absaloutley embarrassing, I can think of many games where salah gets motm without a goal or assist because of how world class his dribbling, passing; first touch ect was, 2 examples being vs athletico Madrid home 2021 and home 2020. His overall play is literally one of the best the leagues since from he joined in 2017 up untill 2022 he was the complete package, one of the best dribblers, passers, playmakers and goal-scorers all in 1, I can’t believe everyone had forgotten this because of 3-4 months, this is what I call fake fans
Wow I can’t believe what I’m hearing about Mo Salah the player has been the best player over the last 7 years in the premiership. Like Danny said no player in that time would be able to take his position and the goals and assist numbers are mind blowing but I do understand that he has not quite been at it this season but class is permanent form is temporary. I wonder if any Liverpool fan at the start of the season thought it would be a good idea to sell him for £150 million to Saudi or they thought he was irreplaceable, I know by the noise in the summer he was world class and not for sale then yet now despite scoring 24 goals he no longer deserves the appreciation.
He’s been performing well in the best league in the world. Got his country to afcon finals. That alone is world class. He scored important goals en route to cl final win in 2019.

Yep they ask them what do they want to say before letting them on. I bet there was many callers that wanted to give it to Simon. Propaganda at its best.
This is one of Simon Jordan's stupidest takes in his entire "pundit" career, imagine downgrading a player to just a "very good player" because of the players around him or the system he plays in, absolutely nonsense. I dont hear this sort of nonsense when every player at Spurs funneled there play through Kane to score goals for example, Kane is still a world class player and so is Salah. Salah is the greatest right winger the premier league has ever seen and I would like to add hes in the top 10 most goals scored in premier league history. Utter tosh from Simon, Salah has and is a world class player. Oh and the people who agreed with Simons take yesterday are categorically opposing tribal fans 100% along with the "Livepool fans" who called in today.
Before his injury with AFCON, he was both top scorer and top assists. He's only just returned, trying to get match fit again and people are judging him on his recent form
Even as a United fan I have to admit Simon is wrong on this one. Salah is world class. Even this season. He’s not at his best and his decision making has been poor he’s still scoring bags of goals
Jordan is a deluded dude. I don't seem to know what he has against Mo Salah. Saying he's not World class is one of the most deluded statements that I have seen. A Legend of the game is the least he deserves. World class is what he has been for about a decade and consistently. I don't understand what Simon is smoking 🚬
Simon has only ever seen truly great players from a great distance, because he’s never had anything like Salah on his books, so it’s understandable why he’s confused, as well as being maybe a little deluded.
Simon's on field ball knowledge is woeful. Clearly a smart bloke but this is one of many silly comments recently. I'm not sure if it's TalkSports way of drumming up controversy.
Eduardo da Silva was accused of diving, and then a criminal tackle broke his leg in two. He was never the same again. English haves strange ideas about justice and what is right.
8:45 Jim desperately trying to back up his mate there with the comment about Salahs age there . ....absolute muppet and by the way does he ever put that tongue away? Honestly , he's absolutely disgusting....
Gooner here - This man is on drugs and deluded or his agenda is more political. How anyone who's watched prem football for last 6/7 years and not consider him world class is RIDICULOUS. Salah deserves the same level of respect as KDB. How can he insult everything that Mo's done in English football. How is someone not calling up and putting this fool in his place. He's lost whatever credibility he had left with this opinion.
@@whowho2745salah never came out in support of Palestine all he just said was the killing of civilians needed to stop on both sides and that aid needed to get into Gaza he remained neutral
United fan. Fascinating to hear someone think Salah as overrated. I have always maintained he's genuinely underrated. Look at his GA over the years. This is in the toughest league in the world. Bonkers numbers year on year.
Arsenal fan here. Have to agree with Danny...Mo Salah is undoubtedly a world-class player (don't know what Jordan is on about). Salah, for these past years, has no equal in the Prem...unfortunately, he isn't English...cos if he was he'd have been hailed as an all-time great by people like Jordan. Salah walks into any great team, City and Madrid. Salah belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Diving, at times not pressing and being moody, are all some of the attributes world- class players share. But for all the exceptional things they produce every other times, they're able to get away with things others may not. This clip all be it for bait, may as well reveal Simon's little bias towards certain kind of players and. He thought he found the lowest moment of Sallah's career to take a dig at him. Anybody who knows football and understands the context of the season we're in wouldn't question Mo Sallah's status.
The definition of world class isn’t someone that would get in any side. That’s being the best in the world in your position and it very rare that one player is clearly better than all his competitors. World class just means you’re in the elite group of players in that position which might be top 5-7 depending on the quality at the time.
This is why no player should trust any football club and it fans can you imagine a Liverpool fan saying salah isn’t world class after all he has than for them
@@chriser555 you're clueless, you have no idea what you talking about, nobody is turning on Salah, criticism doesn't mean the fans are turning on a player, Even Ronaldo got some from United fans
@@michael-zg5fq you must have a very short memory. Liverpool fans only have loyalty to their legends when things are going well. A soon as there's a dip in form and players hits their 30s the knifes are out
playing back then for a Swiss club against Chelsea ?just after Drogba's time he not only scored/assisted but I could see he was a fine player, one of the best in the world.
I honestly don't understand this Simon guy's argument. You are not a fan of Mo Salah as a player, and you don't like him as a person, that's alright. But, that does not make him any less of a world class player. And, this guy should name any player in the EPL, or in the Three Lions who has been better than Mo Salah for the years he's been at Liverpool.
If he’s not assisting or scoring what else is doing 😂. Well if his numbers are high in both he’s doing a bloody good job, what else do you want him to do? Play in goal?
Mo Salah 2018/19/20/21 gets in any team in world football. His dribbling ability during that period was Messi like, the fact that he's still an enormous threat even at 32 is a credit to how world class he is.
156 goals and 69 assists in 256 league games, but apparently that is overrated...which player has that output ? Salah gets disrespected so much, for no reason and plays as a right winger and has better goals to apps ratio than most strikers. No one use to say to Ronaldo he needs to get back and defend, No one criticized Shearer for not passing short and defending but in this day and age all people care about is running after a ball or link up play....
is a player "world class" ? = there is a way to find that question out. talking about diving being 1 way to judge is rather sad and ill thought out = it doesnt bolster your child like opinions or how you arrive at said opinions. Is a player world class = what team in the world would of said "nah you okay we dont want him" ? = Not one team in the whole world would of said no.
Salah is world class and quite frankly if you don't agree then I'd argue you don't have a grasp on how difficult it is to have that output from RW. The fact only Kane kept pace with him says it all. Stupid conversation overall. Kane falls over for fun but I won't here Simon bring that up when discussing him.
Not unpopular... just stupid. Over 20 goals in EVERY season! ... That's just the goals.... His technic, work rate, behaviour on and off the pitch has been impeccable. Yeah, he's had a wobble last few matches, but to claim he is overrated is bizarre and embarrassing.
I would take Salah at Madrid. He has been an incredible player. Based on the current crop of forwards playing today, he's definitely world class. Also whoever made that comment about Nicolas Jackson would be able to get Salah's numbers if he played for Liverpool is an idiot. Watch Chelsea, they create a plethora of chances. The reason why they are midtable is because they can't score goals and Jackson is their main culprit. I saw a stat that said the only player to miss more big chances than Jackson was Nunes. Jackson is awful as a ST.
Simon doesn't like it when Salah 'talks about conflicts in other countries' = stop....don't you dare criticise genocide and zionist terrorism...fundamental to us making our dirty money in the west...shhhhhhh.......
Jordans embarrassed himself like never before here ; how on earth , with Salahs numbers , he's not world class is beyond me (and I'm not a Liverpool fan) Salahs scored crazy numbers over the last few seasons with Nunez and Diaz next to him ; he's a f*cking miracle worker never mind world class..... As far as diving goes , Saka and Grealish are 2 of the most prolific at that but guess what , theyre English so they get a free pass (and I'm English).
As a Livepool fan it is an absolute joy to see Salah score 6-7 seasons consistently in a row, almost the highest goal scoring rate. World class or not, over rated or not, few teams in the history of football can boast of a player like this.
Salah’s touch can definitely be squirly at times and he can be extremely frustrating in possession, but beyond he’s absolute mint, and the idea that he doesn’t work hard is absurd. He puts in serious hard yards in defense. He also has some AMAZING assists in his locker. It’s legitimately stupid to say he’s not world class lol
You know what makes this problematic - Simon has consistently talked down on Mo Salah and his achievements over the years, labelling him a diver, not a very good character etc this isn’t someone who’s trying to make a football statement, he genuinely dislikes Salah with every fibre in his body. Why? Hmmm When you factor in Simon’s views about Azeem Rafiq and the Yorkshire scandal as well then you’re not left with any other options
Salah has been world class, I don’t really see how it can be debated based on season after season after season. Also, if the team is designed for you to be the beneficiary- that is because you are the best player, the other player’s job is to provide for you. People always say ‘so and so would score in that team’…. No they wouldn’t because a massive club like Liverpool, don’t put an average player or even a good player as their focal point - only a special player gets that sort of support.
What did Klopp actually say to Salah that made him react so furiously? 1. It had to be personal (otherwise, Salah who tends to be mild-mannered and in control of his emotions would never have reacted so animatedly) 2. It must be related to something that has been brewing for some time - A possibility is that Klopp must have felt that Salah (and maybe some others) have not given enough after his announcement that he is leaving and that is why Liverpool are where they are 3. For Salah to use the words 'there will be fire', it has to be something bigger than just him and Klopp My guess is that all of klopp's frustrations of the way the season is ending came to a boil the moment Salah did not shake his hand and he made a comment that he regretted as soon as he uttered it - what could the comment be?
427 goals and assists in 597 appearances in his career , 298 g/a for lfc in 346 , 3 golden boots , every domestic trophy lifted , missed less than 5 games a season on average in seasons often into the 60+ club apps but this guy still thinks zaha was world class ......

Salah is the greatest right winger the premier league has ever seen and I would like to add hes in the top 10 most goals scored in premier league history. Utter tosh from Simon, Salah has and is a world class player. Oh and the people who agreed with Simons take yesterday are categorically opposing tribal fans 100% along with the "Livepool fans" who called in today.
Brilliantly said.
Had Salah been called Bob Smith and was from South End the English Media including Simon would be calling him one of the best players in the world...
He is world class player. NO question about that.
Was*
Dumb take from Simon Salah is world class , this season hes had injuries which have made him perform below his usual high standards.
Before his injury with AFCON, he was both top scorer and top assists. He's only just returned, trying to get match fit again and people are judging him on his recent form
Even as a United fan I have to admit Simon is wrong on this one. Salah is world class. Even this season. He’s not at his best and his decision making has been poor he’s still scoring bags of goals
Cause of Klopps scheme
He is an Almiron outside of it
Jordan is a deluded dude. I don't seem to know what he has against Mo Salah. Saying he's not World class is one of the most deluded statements that I have seen. A Legend of the game is the least he deserves. World class is what he has been for about a decade and consistently. I don't understand what Simon is smoking 🚬
Salah is world class and has been consistent for years, amazing player honestly
Simon has only ever seen truly great players from a great distance, because he’s never had anything like Salah on his books, so it’s understandable why he’s confused, as well as being maybe a little deluded.
Simon asking if Salah would start for City, he must of lost the plot 😂😂😂
You are right, people ARE calling you a CLOWN!
Simon's on field ball knowledge is woeful. Clearly a smart bloke but this is one of many silly comments recently. I'm not sure if it's TalkSports way of drumming up controversy.
Eduardo da Silva was accused of diving, and then a criminal tackle broke his leg in two. He was never the same again. English haves strange ideas about justice and what is right.
8:45 Jim desperately trying to back up his mate there with the comment about Salahs age there . ....absolute muppet and by the way does he ever put that tongue away? Honestly , he's absolutely disgusting....
''I didnt like him speaking about conflicts regarding a specific ethnicity'' WTF DID I JUST HEAR?
You knew who he support
there lay the real reason why he does not rate him high.
thats the real reason for his comments
Can't have people talking about genocidal governments
Gooner here - This man is on drugs and deluded or his agenda is more political. How anyone who's watched prem football for last 6/7 years and not consider him world class is RIDICULOUS. Salah deserves the same level of respect as KDB.
How can he insult everything that Mo's done in English football. How is someone not calling up and putting this fool in his place. He's lost whatever credibility he had left with this opinion.
If Salah is a diver, which he is. What does that make Harry Kane?
Kane…prime Micheal Phelps 😂🤣
Innocent as he is English...
I guess Salah has 2 weaknesses not english and has a pro-Palestine view.
Also a diver
@@whowho2745salah never came out in support of Palestine all he just said was the killing of civilians needed to stop on both sides and that aid needed to get into Gaza he remained neutral
United fan. Fascinating to hear someone think Salah as overrated. I have always maintained he's genuinely underrated. Look at his GA over the years. This is in the toughest league in the world. Bonkers numbers year on year.
Imagine if Salah was English. They'd say he's better than Maradona and mother Theresa.
Arsenal fan here. Have to agree with Danny...Mo Salah is undoubtedly a world-class player (don't know what Jordan is on about). Salah, for these past years, has no equal in the Prem...unfortunately, he isn't English...cos if he was he'd have been hailed as an all-time great by people like Jordan. Salah walks into any great team, City and Madrid. Salah belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Not even a liverpool fan but I gotto call out this nonsense.
Diving, at times not pressing and being moody, are all some of the attributes world- class players share. But for all the exceptional things they produce every other times, they're able to get away with things others may not. This clip all be it for bait, may as well reveal Simon's little bias towards certain kind of players and. He thought he found the lowest moment of Sallah's career to take a dig at him. Anybody who knows football and understands the context of the season we're in wouldn't question Mo Sallah's status.
This.
Salah has been a class player over the last 5 or 6 seasons, this season hes had injuries which have made him perform below his usual high standards
Simon didn’t provide one reason why he is not a world class player
From you not an English player you better don't have an bad period....
The definition of world class isn’t someone that would get in any side. That’s being the best in the world in your position and it very rare that one player is clearly better than all his competitors. World class just means you’re in the elite group of players in that position which might be top 5-7 depending on the quality at the time.
What team does Salah not get it? Not many.
Liverpool😂😂😂😂
@@wickedmanrick2582😂
I’m a united fan, Salah has been clutch for Liverpool. Many important quality goals against City, Us and others
If man U had Salah coming from that right. You be killing it.
If you have the very basic knowledge of football then to call Salah "overated" is bonkers.
24 goals creating the most chances and its a bad season for him.....of course hes world class
Salah is world class please dont try to tell me otherwise. From a utd fan here
Look at the stats! Salah is one of the best toever play in the PL
Stat man are you😂😂😂😂😂
Probably the worst take I've heard on any player in my lifetime. He must have the memory of a goldfish.
Danny Murphy completely shut down Jordan's comments with great facts and stats back at him.
Its just mental. Since he arrived in the premier league, nobody has had more goal contributions, nobody.
As they say Class is permanent form is temporary, what does he know about world class footballers anyway
This is why no player should trust any football club and it fans can you imagine a Liverpool fan saying salah isn’t world class after all he has than for them
Very true. They're all snide. Ridiculous what I'm hearing.
Liverpool fans always turn on their own in the end, even the legends.
It happened with Gerrard and now its happening with Salah.
Joke of a fanbase
Nobody turned on Gerrard or even Salah
@@michael-zg5fq They turned on Gerrard the exact same way the callers on this video are turning on Salah.
It's what Liverpool fans do.
@@chriser555 you're clueless, you have no idea what you talking about, nobody is turning on Salah, criticism doesn't mean the fans are turning on a player, Even Ronaldo got some from United fans
And no decent Liverpool fan ever wanted Gerrard to leave the club, he still had another 2-3 years left in him
@@michael-zg5fq you must have a very short memory. Liverpool fans only have loyalty to their legends when things are going well. A soon as there's a dip in form and players hits their 30s the knifes are out
The goal against City at Anfield was perfect. There’s only a handful of players on the planet that could do that.
Peter crouch and andros townsend
playing back then for a Swiss club against Chelsea ?just after Drogba's time he not only scored/assisted but I could see he was a fine player, one of the best in the world.
As a City fan, I can tell you Mo Salah is a terror!
I thought Simon couldn’t get more thick headed than when he talks about City.
I was wrong 🤦🏽♂️
I honestly don't understand this Simon guy's argument. You are not a fan of Mo Salah as a player, and you don't like him as a person, that's alright. But, that does not make him any less of a world class player. And, this guy should name any player in the EPL, or in the Three Lions who has been better than Mo Salah for the years he's been at Liverpool.
If he’s not assisting or scoring what else is doing 😂. Well if his numbers are high in both he’s doing a bloody good job, what else do you want him to do? Play in goal?
If Salah was to ever play for Pep @ Man City, he would have to change his game to include a much more defensive mindset
Mo Salah 2018/19/20/21 gets in any team in world football. His dribbling ability during that period was Messi like, the fact that he's still an enormous threat even at 32 is a credit to how world class he is.
Simon’s ball knowledge is full of bitterness
Kane dives too
Double standards. Some people will call out divers and then turn a blind eye to others.
10:50 Of course he's shooting rather than passing these days , you would too if you had Nunez and Diaz next to you
156 goals and 69 assists in 256 league games, but apparently that is overrated...which player has that output ? Salah gets disrespected so much, for no reason and plays as a right winger and has better goals to apps ratio than most strikers. No one use to say to Ronaldo he needs to get back and defend, No one criticized Shearer for not passing short and defending but in this day and age all people care about is running after a ball or link up play....
is a player "world class" ? = there is a way to find that question out.
talking about diving being 1 way to judge is rather sad and ill thought out = it doesnt bolster your child like opinions or how you arrive at said opinions.
Is a player world class = what team in the world would of said "nah you okay we dont want him" ? = Not one team in the whole world would of said no.
The best players give the ball away alot. Because they're always receiving the balls more than others.
Simon let it sneak out why he really doesn’t like him if you listen closely 😂
exacttly he is spoke up against the genocide of palestinians. and Simon is for it so he hates him now,
Salah is world class and quite frankly if you don't agree then I'd argue you don't have a grasp on how difficult it is to have that output from RW. The fact only Kane kept pace with him says it all. Stupid conversation overall. Kane falls over for fun but I won't here Simon bring that up when discussing him.
Not unpopular... just stupid. Over 20 goals in EVERY season! ... That's just the goals.... His technic, work rate, behaviour on and off the pitch has been impeccable. Yeah, he's had a wobble last few matches, but to claim he is overrated is bizarre and embarrassing.
I would take Salah at Madrid. He has been an incredible player. Based on the current crop of forwards playing today, he's definitely world class.
Also whoever made that comment about Nicolas Jackson would be able to get Salah's numbers if he played for Liverpool is an idiot. Watch Chelsea, they create a plethora of chances. The reason why they are midtable is because they can't score goals and Jackson is their main culprit. I saw a stat that said the only player to miss more big chances than Jackson was Nunes. Jackson is awful as a ST.
Simon doesn't like it when Salah 'talks about conflicts in other countries' = stop....don't you dare criticise genocide and zionist terrorism...fundamental to us making our dirty money in the west...shhhhhhh.......
Jordans embarrassed himself like never before here ; how on earth , with Salahs numbers , he's not world class is beyond me (and I'm not a Liverpool fan)
Salahs scored crazy numbers over the last few seasons with Nunez and Diaz next to him ; he's a f*cking miracle worker never mind world class.....
As far as diving goes , Saka and Grealish are 2 of the most prolific at that but guess what , theyre English so they get a free pass (and I'm English).
As a Livepool fan it is an absolute joy to see Salah score 6-7 seasons consistently in a row, almost the highest goal scoring rate. World class or not, over rated or not, few teams in the history of football can boast of a player like this.
If Salah is not World Class then there hasn’t been any world class winger in the world the last 5 years, just Simon being a complete moron
Salah’s touch can definitely be squirly at times and he can be extremely frustrating in possession, but beyond he’s absolute mint, and the idea that he doesn’t work hard is absurd. He puts in serious hard yards in defense. He also has some AMAZING assists in his locker. It’s legitimately stupid to say he’s not world class lol
You know what makes this problematic - Simon has consistently talked down on Mo Salah and his achievements over the years, labelling him a diver, not a very good character etc this isn’t someone who’s trying to make a football statement, he genuinely dislikes Salah with every fibre in his body. Why? Hmmm
When you factor in Simon’s views about Azeem Rafiq and the Yorkshire scandal as well then you’re not left with any other options
Wow a forward doesn't score or assist then they are doing much. Thats what they are paid to do.
Salah has been world class, I don’t really see how it can be debated based on season after season after season.
Also, if the team is designed for you to be the beneficiary- that is because you are the best player, the other player’s job is to provide for you. People always say ‘so and so would score in that team’…. No they wouldn’t because a massive club like Liverpool, don’t put an average player or even a good player as their focal point - only a special player gets that sort of support.
What did Klopp actually say to Salah that made him react so furiously?
1. It had to be personal (otherwise, Salah who tends to be mild-mannered and in control of his emotions would never have reacted so animatedly)
2. It must be related to something that has been brewing for some time
- A possibility is that Klopp must have felt that Salah (and maybe some others) have not given enough after his announcement that he is leaving and that is why Liverpool are where they are
3. For Salah to use the words 'there will be fire', it has to be something bigger than just him and Klopp
My guess is that all of klopp's frustrations of the way the season is ending came to a boil the moment Salah did not shake his hand and he made a comment that he regretted as soon as he uttered it - what could the comment be?
😂😂😂 English Pundits
Salah was one season wonder after he shut their mouths now they come back with "Overrated "
Salah at times has been unplayable, other times can’t control a football so I get Simon’s point 👍🏼
Spot on assessment 👍🏼
Tory boy Simon is taking out his anger of their inevitable wipeout on Salah 😂
