I have. The team in which Stevie played was at a much lower level and won less as a result, despite which he was still a player that any team in the world would have signed if they could.
only in 75% of his posts. the other 25% are explaining why Ange is NOT just a slack jawed convict version of Brendan Rogers.
Gerrards teams won trebles, won the CL, Super Cup, challenges for the title multiple times and had outstanding players all over the park. The idea that he was some Roy of the Rovers miracle worker is a load of rubbish. He was a great player in great sides who just fell short a number of times.
Salah has been our best player in three great teams and won the lot but also fell short more often than not.
He's 32 until he's 33, that's a fact
Maybe Kenny had something to do with that ... I mean, just maybe.
Next you'll say that Kenny won more as a manager than Mo! GIVE MO A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really the point, but I'm too young to know, but I always assumed Kenny had his nickname in his playing days, so it was based on that, and maybe cemented the longer he was here?
Even for you this is off the deep end. Without Stevie G we wouldn't have won a single one of those trophies with the sides he played in. Multiple title challenges? Outstanding players all over the park? I'm going to ask Santa for lots of whatever you've been toking.
Salah has never shown up in a final like Gerrard did several times.
Edit: just had to check so I wasn't spouting shit.
2001 - Uefa cup final against Alaves. Scored.
2003 - League cup final v Man U. Scored.
2005 - CL final...you already know.
2006 - FA cup final - you know.

Tbf, Mo has scored a Champions League winning goal.
But Stevie is perhaps the greatest big game player the sport has seen this century.
By definition isn't the winning goal the one that settles it? Should be Origi, right?
Well that would be Salah's as the penalty settled it.
Bar that, has Mo scored in any of our other cup finals? I don't remember.
Pressure penalty in 2nd min in CL, that counts as showing up. But yes, Stevie is a big game player. But he also cost us a league with that slip so that will be -1 for him…
…. Only kidding.
Come on JJ
They way you are going on about Stevie you would thing there was a final named after him
If Origi doesn't score the second, we still win if nothing else changes. The winning goal is the one that establishes a difference in score.
Indeed he did and why he’s in the conversation but it’s a lot easier to be part of a team who wins the league season after season vs a challenger like Gerrard or Salah. All three have been outstanding but Salah would get the nod for me if we win another league title this season. Not to mention the fact he’d have 4 titles and 3 CL if not for corruption.
I also think the fact that Salah is the only midfielder/forward to maintain the levels he has through Klopps era and beyond while everyone else’s body has given up along the way. He’s the most professional top player we’ve ever had. Truly insane.
And I would say exactly the same for our latest successes without Salah.
Gerrard has always done it in cup finals. Salah has been more consistent in the league by a distance.
Salah definitely hasn’t showed up in finals overall although I will always maintain we’d have won the first CL final had he not gone off injured.
Obv it’s a close call and many will pick Gerrard but for me Mo would take top spot should he win it.
If fucking Villa could defend a 2-0 lead with 15 mins left Salah would have scored the title winning goal that season too.

I agree, Gerrard had his groin issues that hurt us on many occasions, but Salah also played for a much better team. That can't be disregarded.
Origi's goal put the game to bed.
We need a name for that, the killing blow or something.
In hockey, often called the "insurance goal".
Yep I’ve heard that used in the past for soccer too. I think it got cancelled on the 25 May 2005 when a commentator said a certain teams third goal was their insurance to win the CL. 😉
I do my best.
Yawn. Imagine if we didn’t sign Jota and he toiled away with 7-10 goals a year at Wolves and was injured half the time. You’d be hearing lambasting anyone who claimed he’d have been a success at LFC. Simple fact is you haven’t a Scooby whether any player we didn’t sign would have been a success or not or to what level. You are getting so obsessive over this it might be time I get you your own closet in my closet.
