Jurgen Klopp calls latest Mohamed Salah scoring feat at Liverpool 'insane'


  • English
  • Arabic

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described Mohamed Salah's latest scoring feat as “insane” after the Egyptian broke the record for most left-footed goals in Premier League history.

Salah scored a brace in Liverpool's 6-1 victory at Leeds United on Monday night, the second of which meant he overtook former Reds striker Robbie Fowler's total of 105 goals with his left peg.

The 30-year-old now tops the left-footed list that also includes the likes of Robin van Persie (94 goals) and Ryan Giggs (83).

“Last week when I heard that Mo had scored the most left-footed goals in Premier League history, I would say that is insane,” said Klopp, ahead of Saturday's game at Nottingham Forest.

“When I see the names below – Fowler, Van Persie, Giggs – these are Premier League greats, absolutely, so that is massive.

“Surpassing Robbie in another stat – I know he likes these kinds of things and this will fill his tank for the game.

“I also know that his assist record is pretty good too. He doesn't forget that it is important to or nice to break records, but it is much more important to win the game and sometimes pass the ball rather than shoot yourself.”

While Salah's status as a club all-time great is already safely secured, summer signing Darwin Nunez is still trying to define his role in the side, having featured both wide left and centrally.

The Uruguay international has scored 15 goals since arriving from Benfica but has found himself on the bench for three of the last four matches.

“Darwin is a player with a different skill-set to our other players which is good. He's a real handful, a machine. He will score a lot of goals, and he's scored a decent number already,” added Klopp.

“But of course he's still adapting. His English still isn't great but we're working on that … Learning English will help him massively.

“It's not helpful to go through a debut season when it's difficult for the whole team. How can a striker shine when the whole team is struggling?

“He was injured in some moments, suspended in other moments. That's not a problem at all. This is a long-term project.

“I understand that he wants to play desperately from the beginning but we have to find a way that really works for us again and then fit in the players we can use with the specific strengths.

“I am completely fine with the situation. I understand that Darwin isn't always fine. He doesn't smile in my face when he realises he won't start and says: 'Thank you boss'.

“But when you have five or six players available up front you have to make decisions and that's good.”

The demolition of relegation-haunted Leeds was a high point in what Klopp acknowledges has been a rollercoaster season for the Merseysiders.

It was Liverpool's first win since sticking seven goals past fierce rivals Manchester United at Anfield at the start of March.

But Liverpool currently sit eighth in the table, nine points behind Newcastle United in fourth place and were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid 6-2 on aggregate in the last-16.

“It has been a very average season we have had so far and yet we have had some of our highest results in the in club's history, which is strange,” said Klopp.

“I said after the Leeds game I thought that was the best game we have played this season.

“It was a very stable performance which is very important and that is what we have to build on.

“I can't guarantee any kind of result but we have to guarantee a performance level and that is what we have to do now.”

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

Young women have more “financial grit”, but fall behind on investing

In an October survey of young adults aged 16 to 25, Charles Schwab found young women are more driven to reach financial independence than young men (67 per cent versus. 58 per cent). They are more likely to take on extra work to make ends meet and see more value than men in creating a plan to achieve their financial goals. Yet, despite all these good ‘first’ measures, they are investing and saving less than young men – falling early into the financial gender gap.

While the women surveyed report spending 36 per cent less than men, they have far less savings than men ($1,267 versus $2,000) – a nearly 60 per cent difference.

In addition, twice as many young men as women say they would invest spare cash, and almost twice as many young men as women report having investment accounts (though most young adults do not invest at all). 

“Despite their good intentions, young women start to fall behind their male counterparts in savings and investing early on in life,” said Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, senior vice president, Charles Schwab. “They start off showing a strong financial planning mindset, but there is still room for further education when it comes to managing their day-to-day finances.”

Ms Schwab-Pomerantz says parents should be conveying the same messages to boys and girls about money, but should tailor those conversations based on the individual and gender.

"Our study shows that while boys are spending more than girls, they also are saving more. Have open and honest conversations with your daughters about the wage and savings gap," she said. "Teach kids about the importance of investing – especially girls, who as we see in this study, aren’t investing as much. Part of being financially prepared is learning to make the most of your money, and that means investing early and consistently."

Know your camel milk:
Flavour: Similar to goat’s milk, although less pungent. Vaguely sweet with a subtle, salty aftertaste.
Texture: Smooth and creamy, with a slightly thinner consistency than cow’s milk.
Use it: In your morning coffee, to add flavour to homemade ice cream and milk-heavy desserts, smoothies, spiced camel-milk hot chocolate.
Goes well with: chocolate and caramel, saffron, cardamom and cloves. Also works well with honey and dates.
