26 goals from 1 Feb 2020 in all competitions for Salah

25 for Bruno same criteria


8 assists Salah in 2020 across all competitions

15 for Bruno in 2020 across all competitions



26 goals & 8 assists for a striker in the best team in the country is not best player in a calendar year material

Kane has a stronger case than Salah in 2020.



----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you counting Bruno Ropey league games?

Salah easily. As others point out, take out Bruno’s penalties, his stats aren’t that impressive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many pens for Salah?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No idea tbh, but we don’t get a penalty every game like United do, so I guarantee it’s considerably less than Fernandes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Genius - moan about Bruno’s pens, vote for Salah and have no idea how many pens he’s scored.

It’s 5 out of 13 this year for Salah from what I can see so 40%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fernandes- 25 goals, 15 penalties. 60%. I rest my case.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name a PL midfielder who has scored more from play in that period?

Not a wide forward but a midfielder.

Bet there can’t be many.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He isn’t a midfielder though.

He’s played as a CM for us on a couple of occasions. That’s it.

His touch maps show he plays at least as high up as Rashford and Greenwood most games, and often higher.

Swear everyone loved non penalty goals before Bruno showed up, great way to decrease the number Kane scored

Players with atleast 20 Combined PL goals + assists in 2020

Salah - 32 in 31 (1.10 p90)
Bruno - 29 in 27 (1.16 p90)
Kane - 26 in 24 (1.09 p90)
Son - 24 in 28 (0.91 p90)
De Bruyne - 23 in 28 (0.92 p90)
Vardy - 23 in 29 (0.86 p90)

He's part of a front 4, certainly, but he's the deepest
lying out of that quartet... not bad stats for someone involved in most of the build up play

He demonstrably isn’t the deepest lying of the quartet.

He usually has lighter defensive duties than the wide forwards, and as I’ve said above, his touch map often shows that his average contribution is delivered higher up.

Yeah he’s an attacking midfielder some people really struggle with this concept and I have no idea why. His main focus is further up but his heat maps show that he spends more time further back than the strikers do.

Did they?

I just meant if you’re talking golden boot, getting in team of the year etc, penalties don’t really get taken out like lots of people here are doing.

Doing what Bruno is doing as an attacking midfielder is incredible, Kane is a close second for me.

Consistently higher than Greenwood, and as high as Rashford:

People can call him a midfielder if they want; but he plays as a forward, and has done near exclusively since he’s signed for United.
