BREAKING NEWS: Newcastle United Defender Hails Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah as an “Irresistible Force” and Invites Him to Join the Magpies  

In a revealing post-match interview, Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall has openly praised Liverpool’s star forward Mohamed Salah, calling him the toughest opponent he has ever faced. Hall’s comments come after Newcastle’s 2-0 loss at Anfield on February 26, 2025, a match where Salah played a crucial role in Liverpool’s victory.

“I Was Happy When They Took Him Out” – Hall Admits Struggles Against Salah

Hall did not hold back in describing the challenge of defending against Salah, stating:

*”Whenever I tried stopping him, he showed me what I’ve never seen before. To be honest, no player will like to face such a powerful, irresistible force of a player. I was happy when they took him out.”*

Salah’s quick footwork, agility, and tactical awareness constantly troubled Newcastle’s defense, further proving why he remains one of the most feared attackers in world football.

Salah’s Influence on the Match

Salah’s presence on the pitch was undeniable, assisting Alexis Mac Allister’s goal in the 63rd minute to seal Liverpool’s win. His ability to create space for teammates and dismantle defensive lines has been a key component of Liverpool’s attacking success under Arne Slot.

Liverpool’s manager praised Salah’s unselfish play and leadership, emphasizing his ability to shift defensive focus and provide opportunities for his teammates.

A Surprising Invitation to Newcastle

In an unexpected twist, Hall suggested he would love to see Salah playing for Newcastle instead of having to defend against him. He stated:

*”A player of his caliber would elevate any team. I’d be thrilled to have him with us at Newcastle rather than having to defend against him.”*

Although such a move remains purely speculative, Hall’s remarks highlight the level of admiration Salah commands, even from his direct competitors.

Football Community Reacts

Hall’s comments have sparked discussions among fans and pundits. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher reacted, saying:

“It’s not every day you hear a defender openly admit relief at an opponent’s substitution. Salah’s prowess is well-known, but this adds another layer to his reputation.”

Premier League legend Alan Shearer also weighed in:

*”Hall’s honesty is refreshing. It speaks volumes about Salah’s impact on the pitch. As for recruiting him to Newcastle, that’s a delightful thought, but Liverpool will be keen to keep their talisman.”*

Liverpool’s Title Charge Continues

With this victory, Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 13 points. Salah’s form will be crucial as the Reds push to secure their 20th league title.

For Newcastle, Hall’s experience facing an elite attacker like Salah is a valuable learning opportunity. Manager Eddie Howe emphasized that testing young players against world-class talent is key to their growth.

As the season progresses, Salah’s impact remains undeniable—both in his performances and the respect he commands from opponents. Liverpool fans can celebrate once again, as their Egyptian King continues to shine at Anfield! 🔴🔥
