Liverpool star forward Mohamed Salah is criticized by John Terry about their time at Chelsea but the defender messes it all up and proves himself and idiot.
Mohamed Salah is one of the best forwards in the world but John Terry remembers him differently from their time at Chelsea. But the Englishman has all his facts wrong as he proves himself a total idiot with his failed criticism.
Terry was featuring on DubaiEye – a radio station in Dubai – and was talking about Salah in the wake of Jose Mourinho’s appointment at Spurs.

He was referring to Mohamed Salah and fellow ex-Chelsea player Kevin de Bruyne as players who weren’t up to Mourinho’s standards at Stamford Bridge despite their eventual successes at Liverpool and Chelsea respectively.
He claims that Salah and de Bruyne – while talented – were not good enough to displace ’20-goal-a-season’ players like Arjen Robben an Damien Duff.
There are two problems with that ‘logic’.
Firstly, Duff left Stamford Bridge in 2006 and Robben left a year later in 2007. Mohamed Salah didn’t move to Chelsea from Basel until 2014 and de Bruyne arrived in 2012.
That’s not a little mistake of getting it wrong by a season or two. That’s an EIGHT year gap between Duff and Salah’s time at Chelsea. The Irishman was playing for Melbourne City in AUSTRALIA in 2014.
Secondly, the two ’20-goal-a-season’ players both only managed 19 goals each for Chelsea in their ENTIRE TIME at the club. They both had three seasons there and Robben never broke double figures in the season. Duff managed 10 in 2004-05 but that was the best of either of them.

Liverpool will have to manage without Salah against Crystal Palace this weekend as the Egyptian recovers from the ankle injury that kept him out of international duty last week.
