Mo Salah

I had an awful opinion not long ago, that Mane was the better player and Liverpool were idiots to get rid of him. I couldn’t have been more wrong - as Salah is still doing it in the biggest league whilst Mane is playing in Saudi.

Salah really has been amazing for Liverpool. Year after year I thought he will stop dipping but it just hasn’t happened

Mane was also a big failure in the Bundesliga for Bayern.

Strongly disagree. Of course he's the player who can and should contribute by far the most for Egypt, but no player can do it all on their own. It's not like international football is the best indicator of anything in the modern era, either.

By the way, would Messi not be the greatest ever in your eyes, if they lost the shootout vs France?






I never really saw Weah either, so can't comment on him.

For me, Drogba isn't a contender. I'd confidently put Eto'o and Touré above him, and I personally don't think even them two are good enough to be picked over Salah.

I have been living in Africa for more than a decade, unless you're Egyptian, no one considers him the best ever African player.
Messi, even if he had lost, would still be the GOAT because his performances were incredible during many tournaments.

Salah has never truly delivered when needed for Egypt

That's the thing though, Gerrard was part of the reason that Liverpool were in all those "down and out" positions that he had to try (and mostly fail to) save them from.

The famous "slippy G" game is a great example. Not because he slipped (it happens, all great players make mistakes) but because he spent the rest of the game trying hollywood passes and shots to try to be the hero, when if he'd just played normally Liverpool would probably have got something from the game.

This kind of thing makes for a great cup player, which Gerrard was and Bruno is.

And to get things back on topic for the thread; Salah > Gerrard > Bruno.

Yes mate, your last line I agree with.

The rest I don't know as slippy G moments happen with anyone. Gerrard was also on his last legs those seasons. It doesn't define a player. Look at Chelseas own John Terry. Cost Chelsea a CL trophy by being selfish and taking a penalty when others could have. Or Henry missing absolute gold sitters when we were one nil up in the CL final. That's football.

Drogba, Toure, Salah and Eto’o are the four. All had incredible careers with years at the top, were consistent, and pretty much won the lot. It’s semantics beyond that. Where you rate the leagues were when they played their best football etc.

Mane over Drogba and when you factor in success at international level Eto'o stands alone still. I think Salah is the best in terms of peak performance at club level.

He's quite clearly Liverpool's best since Dalglish with the exception of 13/14 Suarez
 
Amazing player. Best right winger in the premier league era. Better career at the club and obviously won more trophies. But I would take prime Luis Suarez over prime Salah 100 times out of 100.
 
Yes, I think he is the Best EPL ever winger/wing-forward. CR7 2008-2009 has been better, but he basically gave just 2-3 top class seasons in EPL while this wanker had already 7 top seasons.

How far is he from making an argument as the best ever player in EPL? If he had won a couple of other leagues, I think he might have had a very good shot. In 7 seasons and 3 matches, he is just 16 goals from reaching Henry's number of goals in EPL (8 seasons), 25 to reach Rooney (13 seasons) and 26 Aguero's (10 seasons). While playing in an arguably less advanced position, and for a worse team. He will likely surpass Henry's record this season, and the other two next one.

Agree with all of that.

For me the best ever African player is still Eusebio (yes, I know he played for Portugal but he never set foot or played in that country until he was 18 or 19. He was essentially an African player.)

Mane over Drogba is wild. Great player, but not up there with those 4.

All good though. Just opinions.

Agree with this. Best I’ve seen ever seen aside from Suarez in 13/14. Him Alisson and VVD are some of the best to ever do it for us in their positions. It’s just unfortunate (fortunate for everyone else mind) that a few of the margins didn’t go our way. 18/19 and 21/22 and the CL finals or they’d have a few more major honours which their talent level deserves. It’s what happens when you compete with Madrid Juju and Pep.

Been a pleasure to watch them play.

Fixed that for you
 
Salah’s 2017/18 is one of the greatest seasons of all time from any player in football history. It really is that good.

44 goals in 52 games, 32 goals in the Prem and 10 goals in the Champions League, all without being a penalty taker. He also scored in almost every big game he played (against 100 point City, in every UCL KO game). That’s a ridiculous achievement, crazy it doesn’t get spoken about more.

He was never able to replicate it again and all his other Liverpool seasons have merely been “elite”, but for that one season, he looked like a GOAT contender.

Me too.
Suarez of that season was stupendous but his best body of work if yet to come.
He moved to Barca to form that MSN, the best front 3 I have ever seen.
Arguably he could have won balon d'or ahead of Cristiano, both were top with 2 trophies, but the latter has Euro.
It's hypothetical but if Suarez stayed at Liverpool, we could have seen more years of magic in EPL.
It's a shame.

You really don't need stats or and kind of credentials to have Salah over Gerrard. Salah can play passes that don't leave the receiver in hospital, can play in an actual position on a football pitch, and can beat a man for fun even if they aren't a DJ. Therefore Salah wins.
 
His G+A is higher than haaland's.

Him and Van Dijk have been the best players in the league so far.
 
I thought he was declining a couple of years ago but this fecker just keeps on producing the goods :lol:
 
He's still so damn good and so crucial to Liverpool.

Can't wait until he fecks off.
 
Got to give them credit, their experienced players have showed their professionalism by continuing thier standards unlike our lot who downed tools the moment Moyes came on board. And we were the PL champions too.
 
They would be crazy not to tie him down for a couple of more years. He will be a top player for atleast 2 more years.
 
He might not be as fast as he once was but the skill is still all there.
 
Needs 50 more goals to overtake Kane for 2nd all-time in PL goals. I reckon he could do it if we sign him to a 2-year extension, and definitely does it if he stays 3 more years.

I held the opinion two years ago that we’d be better off selling him for 200m to Saudi Arabia before he became virtually worthless in the transfer market but I was clearly wrong. Don’t care anymore if he gets us a return or not, just want him at Liverpool for as long as possible at this point. Upper echelon of club legends.

He’s gone in the summer
 
Thinking about possible replacements if he leaves...and honestly, short of prying Lamine Yamal off the cnuts(PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) I don't see it

They'll offer him whatever he wants to stay another year
