SALECH :

"Today was probably the craziest game I've played in." Yousef began. "We know if we score one goal, we could change the game, and that’s what we did quite early after the 60 minutes. Then it was just about trying to put as much pressure as possible on them, and get dangerous, and try to fight back into the game.

"It was my second, third or fourth touch of the game. To see the ball go into the back of the net was very nice. I knew there was a possibility to get another, and I think it gave the team a lot of motivation and belief to go on and win the game.

"For the second goal, all credit to Rubin as well - a really good run and positioning, which is something we've trained since Brian came in a year and a half ago. He knew exactly where to put the ball in the box, and I just did my part."

City came from 1-4 down to win 5-4 on a chaotic November afternoon, with Yousef praising the mentality of his teammates to stay in the game until the very end.


Salech:


He said: "It was so hectic, I didn't even think about what the score was, at any of our goals. It was just about getting one more goal. The game ended 5-4, and that's a great feeling for the team.

"Especially in the game today, I’d rather win 5-4 than win 1-0! I think the fans probably got a lot of entertainment for their money as well today, a lot of goals, and I hope they enjoyed it as well. I think it also just shows that we need their support and their backing even if we’re behind, because stuff like this can happen.

"I'm motivated for every single game. I play for my family, my friends, for everyone who believes in me, and I did the same today. I try to do my best every single day. I still think we can improve even more, and also score more goals, but I'm enjoying it.

Came on like a charging bull yesterday and caused all sorts of problems.

We have no other player in the squad with his particular attributes.

He was a right handful and Burnley could not cope with him.

Well done Yusef - and ignore the shit written by the mentally challenged knobheads on social media.

Totally agree with all of this. People forget that a lone striker, as Yousef is in this team, is often only as good as the supply he receives.

He had a massive impact today and, along with Rubin, is the main reason we came back from the dead. That is not taking away anything from all the other team members who kept fighting to the end.

I also think Salech is very dependent on the referee, he's got a similar problem to Keiffer Moore some refs seem to be of the view that because he's big he must just be diving. West Ham manhandled him and got away with it, I don't think there's much to be done in those circumstances, the obvious answer is just to bring him off but as we are so short it's not always possible

He has had me and others who have critised him and rightly so,
there was no sign of him not getting stuck saturday after been dropped and it worked.
He has been a shadow of his former self and perhaps the criticism has touched a nerve, but it did the job he was back to how he was before his injury .

He had to change you cannot babysit yourself with a fear you may injure yourself again,
well done, now you have got past that worry push on as a striker.

Moylan also has pushed him but I noticed how moylan came upto him as soon as he scored both goals and praised him hugged him, and pushed him etc,good on him for doing that.

Agreed, I think sometimes people need to see the bigger picture with Salech. The usuals will criticise him performance by performance, but the reality is he puts a shift in every time he plays, has been out with two (one serious assault) injuries, and will get better with experience


I’m a Yousef Salech supporter, and along with Jack Moylan, we now have the ammunition to cause our Championship rivals problems!
