Please point out where anyone said that we were bigger than Madrid or Barca? "A better team" doesn't equal a bigger club, and it is completely true and warranted at the moment.

Neymar followers on Instagram = 120m. Salah followers = 28m.
Neymar followers on Twitter = 43m. Salah = 9m.
Neymar followers on Facebook = 60m. Salah = 11m.
Total = 223m followers for Neymar > 48m followers for Salah.
Salah is world class. I laughed when people said last season that he was a one-season wonder.
It's good business. They obviously wanted to Coutinho badly enough to agree to that clause.
Effectively if they want Salah, they agree a price with Liverpool. Barca will then have to stump up an extra £100m on top of that agreed price to be eligible to sign him.
Great business and it means that Liverpool will get a lot more than the player is worth so we can invest in other players
The problem isn't thinking Salah is selfish but to think he's more selfish than say Mane. You can see here his Key passing rate per game is the highest in Liverpool with 1.8, 16th in the league. Mane is at 1.3 at 46th, Firmino is 45th with 1.3 too. :
He's also 6th in the league and the highest in Liverpool in number of through balls he made with 19. Mane is 14th with 14 and Firmino is 11th with 16 through balls :

Also with the fact he has the 3rd most assists in Liverpool team and 10th overall in the league :

So to claim he's the most selfish in Liverpool team unlike Mane for example is a weird myth.
Based on watching football he is definitely the most selfish, he has many opportunities to pass when players are in better positions, specifically this season rather than the previous season, but chooses to get a shot away himself.
The fact that he creates and plays more passes in attacking areas than the other two I would simply put down to the fact that he is the more involved, he receives the ball in attacking areas more often, or creates an opportunity for a shot/pass himself. So I'm not knocking him as a player, all of those mean he is a better player than Mane, and Firmino, but he could do with being less selfish next season.
He won’t go anywhere. We’ll demand a ridiculous sum and I don’t see anyone paying it.
Pretty much. Even if Salah demanded a move, I doubt he would kick up enough of a fuss for the club to feel like they have to sell.
I'm not saying he's not selfish but I don't agree with the idea he's more selfish than Mane. People think he doesn't pass the ball for Mane in key areas, yeah that happens but Mane does exactly the same thing many many times this season and the last and it seems to go under radar. Both simply don't cooperate with each other much and prefer to get the goal themselves.
Lest we forget this genius, he's just played his hundredth game for us and scored his 70th goal.
1. Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers) – 79 goals
2. Mo Salah (Liverpool) – 70 goals
3. Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United) – 68 goals
4. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) – 64 goals
5. Fernando Torres (Liverpool) – 63 goals

Such a bizarre player...I don't think a top level player has ever infuriated me watching him play as he does.
On course to top the scoring charts for a third year running.
under appreciated.
I've never seen salah play good but he is always scoring
He’s obviously world class.
I hear Liverpool fans complaining about Salah but every time I watch him he's class.
He's obviously no Dirk Kuyt, but I have to admit he has his moments. Doubt he could do it as a wingback in a world cup final semi's though.
Every time I watch him I get surprised by his physical strength. So many times they ping those low balls into the box and he just holds up the significantly bigger defender with ease and turns him. Its the same with Mane too.
There must be something in the water they are feeding them.

Steroids ?
Would be glorious if they get stripped of their title.
It is a bit suspicious they seem one of the only teams that hardly get any injuries despite playing the same 11 every week.Would be glorious if they get stripped of their title.
I think they were lucky but we shouldn't suspect more than that. They have had seasons with those key players injured so it happens. It will happen again. It's football.
A classic example of being a victim of his own success. I also believe that, like Mane and a lot of other players, he would get more appreciation if he was not African - not because of racism, but because of a bias towards players from Europe and South America and the lack of visibility for national team performances for African sides.
Spot on
He's lucky 'r' Marcus is out
German efficiency in coaching.
Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s best player.
Pretty much. Just because he hasn't reached the standards of his first season people act like he isn't that great while all he does is produce the goods. He's genuinely a threat to score every game he plays.
He means for Liverpool. Vardy is 3 goals ahead in the league. Salah is joint 3rd just ahead of a few other players.He's lucky 'r' Marcus is out
He's deceptively strong on the ball. Kinda like Aguero.
Dont they get a decent amount of injuries? I dont follow EPL religiously, but it seems Fabinho, Allison, And Matip have been out for months. Henderson has missed a number of games, Mane some, even Salah a few. Not to mention Keita is almost always injured.
Liverpool are very physically fit so I think they actually have more injuries than average. Atalanta in Italy are one of the fittest teams and they hardly get any injuries except for a few centre backs at times. Come to think of it, Liverpool's centre backs also get a crazy amount of injuries over the last few years.
We've had key players injured sporadically throughout the season yes, but it regarded as either not enough injuries or it changes as to which that key player is at the time..
Personally, I feel Liverpool fans heap the most amount of praise on Firmino because he is the weakest of the 3 (still class obviously), and maybe give Salah a hard time because there's no denying he's world class so they don't need to defend him at any point.
Maybe because Firmino is an absolute workhorse and grafts for the team, while Salah, world class no doubt, is really selfish. Like Jermaine Defoe selfish. Still, a great player.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
I see both sides. Perhaps this one, but also perhaps riding on the coattails of that incredible season. He still puts up very good numbers and is obviously a top top player, but perhaps not quite the player he was and sometimes still is made out to be? I'm not saying that's what I definitely believe but I think it could be the case.
He doesn't hit the same numbers as the other two but he is practically the glue of the three. The goal drought at Anfield is slightly odd for him but out of the three we tend to drop a level in attack because the importance of his link up play benefits Mane + Salah. If he's missing or not starting alongside them both we can look a bit toothless and they don't press or track back as good as he does.
He is the reason everything works IMO. Having a center forward that is a legit 9, but can do damage as a playmaker or coming from deeper decision is the reason they're so difficult to defend. Very few if any center forwards in the world can hurt your defense in as many ways as Firminho can.
There is probably doping in pro football but it would concern many teams other than just Liverpool
