Mo, is he Liverpool's best ever PL player?

[bluebell]

Salah imho deserves to be in the same conversation as Sheerer, Kane and Rooney

I've said my thoughts on it in another thread, but it's still Gerrard by a fair margin, IMHO. If Salah signs a new deal and continues to contribute at this level throughout it then it becomes a conversation. I don't think we're there yet.

Can you share that post? I think Gerrard is still #1 - but why by a 'fair margin'?

I wonder if we put Gerrard in his pomp in the Liverpool side over Salah's reign does he win as much as Salah did? And if Salah goes into those Liverpool teams instead of Stevie, do they win as much?

Win the league and CL this season while breaking more individual records and it will be Mo surely?

 

[Woland]

I vote Gerrard but only cos there wasn't a Suarez choice. Between them they're in a world eleven of the last couple of decades. I suppose it would be quite attacking once we squeeze Messi and Ronaldo in, but with VVD and Ali at the back you could go top heavy.

 

[Modo]

Best EPL player maybe. Overall still Gerry

 

[Frogfish]

Mo is still miles behind Rushie never mind Gerrard!

 

[Stevesquash]

Mo's amazing, but he's not even the best player in this team....

I mean he did say PL player....

League alone will do it for me.

It would be 5 titles without those cheating cunts.

 

[SummerOnions]

Gerrard singlehandedly made us a good team. Sometimes literally a one man team. For that it's still Gerrard unless Salah gives us 2 more leagues before he leaves

 

[Frogfish]

This thread is ridiculous and those saying he is are fucking nuts! As if.

Really? I'd say he's the best player in the league.

 

[Stevesquash]

Hes the 2nd best player in the league, behind our captain, in my opinion.

Gravy doesn’t like this!

Almost as ridiculous as saying Rush was a better PL player than Salah.

Stevie Suarez

Salah will never score as many goals as Rushie for us. Even if he stays another 5 years. That record is inviolate. People don't remember, or are too young to remember, what an incredible goal scorer he was (way better finisher than Mo.) scoring some incredible goals.
It's the usual case of more recent players being elevated because of TV, social media and the constant barrage of people claiming it is so.

Ah the Sky generation. As if football wasn't exactly the same before. Marketing wins again. Sigh.

He would two more seasons at this rate then it could be doable if he stayed til 37. But Rush was insane and missed a full season in his prime.

 

[Brizzle]

If you were limiting it to PL only, and not PL-era but across all comps then yes. Salah and Virgil are the two best IMO. Gerrard third behind these two.

 

[Accedalyday]

I'd rather if we compare Suarez's best season to Mo's - which was better.
I think that would be an even more interesting debate - though in light of the fact of what we're witnessing, it may not even be a debate by season's end.

I can’t see Suarez’s season ever been beaten he missed the start, scored wonder goal after wonder goal, multiple hat tricks. His only blemish was that he went missing against Chelsea, that’s it.
