Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[FiSh77]

Thought we had the best when we had Suarez. This guy takes it to a whole new level

This

What Mo is doing is fucking incredible, nobody in the world touches him right now

[Mister Flip Flop]

As good as he is, Suarez was/is something else.

Salah is miles ahead of Suarez as a player and a person.

[Sharado]

As good as he is, Suarez was/is something else.

Something else not as good
 

[Bread]

There's still a debate to be had for who was the better player between Suarez and Salah, but there should be 0 debate as to who the bigger Liverpool legend, and as far as I'm concerned, that's all that matters.

In my mind, Suarez had the single greatest individual season in Premier League history, but on current form, Salah is well on course to eclipse that.

[Red_Mist]

As good as he is, Suarez was/is something else.

Alright JR Hartley!

I don't know mate, i don't really remember Suarez's football. All what i remember about Suarez got nothing to do with football.

FFS, he was 30 yards out when he passed it.

Mohamed Salah is the first away player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford for over 18 years, since Ronaldo did so for Real Madrid back in April 2003 in the Champions League

Since when have mere earthly dimensions and quantities stopped him scoring? Thirty yards out, thirty defenders surrounding him... Result?: Goal!

[Eeyore]

Suarez was here for 2.5 seasons  - he was at the level everyone remembers him at for about three quarters of one season  … not sure whose better at their peak but as liverpool players there’s no comparison, Salah is on another level, in his 5th season of elite level performance and is busy setting all time club records

Imagine Suarez playing in a Klopp team though.

If you ignore the Suarez baggage then they have both been incredible players. Suarez left us in his pomp and scored 147 goals in 191 goals in La Liga for Barca. As a club we have been blessed to have both of them.

And the biggest home defeat without scoring since 55 under Busby.

Scored 10 and assisted 5,some numbers them.

He had pretty much as good as a season as he could have under Rodgers, under Klopp he wins more trophies but I doubt he’s able to get to Messi or Ronaldo levels regardless of who his manager is.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Suarez in a Klopp team you have to think would be amazing, salah in a Klopp team IS amazing. The comparison will always be made. Not arguing with anyone who chooses either as they are that good but i believe Salah if he stays till end of career/few more years and we win more will be in the GOAT Liverpool player debate. Cant make a case for Suarez in that respect

[jonkrux]

Best player in the world. Just pay the man and we will win everything for the next 3-4 years. You can see that he loves it here. No fabinho, no matip, and we absolutely dominate our nearest rivals with Salah as the main protagonist. We have to break the wage structure, end of conversation.

[Clayton Bigsby]

What’s there to imagine? He has pretty much as good as a season as he could have under Rodgers, under Klopp he wins more trophies but I doubt he’s able to get to Messi or he who fannies about and dives around  levels regardless of who his manager is.

Messi is on his own tier. Suarez was playing at Ronaldos level for his last 18 months or so here and at Barca for most part.

Hmm that’s fair maybe I should have just said Messi.

He’s already in that debate.

He’s simply incredible. It’s a fact. It’s undeniable. 

Let’s just enjoy the moment.

how the hell do i post a jpg??

For me though Klopp is the reason why Mo is in with a shout of being GOAT at Liverpool. Without Klopp I don't think Mo would still be here. Likewise if we had Klopp in 13/14 then the likes of Suarez and Sterling may well have stayed.

As I said I am just delighted to have seen Mo and Suarez week in week out. They are both exceptional players.

Harry Kane is the GOAT in scoring unbelievable goals though, managing to add to his tally without touching the ball.

[Sangria]

Rather disappointing performance today, without the weekly worldie that we've come to expect from him. A hat trick is but a consolation.

[stevieG786]

As good as he is, Suarez was/is something else.

bollocks

[stevieG786]

Pay him 800k a week ffs, he deserves to be the highest paid in world football

He’s the best in the world for a reason. What a player!

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

I'd be tempted to not give him a new contract, just to see what else he can do in trying to get a new contract.

He has good humour

there's so much to enjoy in this photo....

He may have said that jokingly or he may have been 100% honest n frank.
Watching it live I deffo believed he could/would skin Shaw and slot it past De Gea. So I was actually very surprised that he slowed it down and passed it to Naby.
Playing percentages, Mo was probably more likely to score given his form, skillset and striker's prowess/finishing.

[kcbworth]

Salah, Suarez, Gerrard (and also Torres, Owen) - Salah is starting to emerge from this insanely high quality group - unbelievable.

Shaw had no idea what to do. Mo would have eaten up the yards and passed it in.

Not sure. When it comes to eating, Shaw might have the upper hand.

[Ghost Town]

Not sure. When it comes to eating, Shaw might have the upper hand.

That's why Mo didn't make a meal of it

[JackWard33]

Don't think its a coincidence that we're seeing the best of him with a different, more attacking midfield set up.
Compared to the last 2 seasons this time around we've always played an AM with licence to join the attack and there's just more space - we're less good defensively but our attack is just uncontainable at the moment.
There are other factors (like him having a full summer off) but although it was effective 2 years ago from a Salah point of view our set up now looks much more like 17/18 and 18/19 which helps him a ton

[The G in Gerrard]

How's he comparing with his goals tally in his first season with us?

[clinical]

Never thought I'd say this. But he's better than Suarez was.

[MichaelA]

He's the best we have ever had.

[BigCDump]

That's why Mo didn't make a meal of it

Not sure Shaw'd be a fan of Mo Salad.

for the nerds....
makes the often overlooked point about his amazing ability to rack up minutes

[Nick110581]

Incredible player.

[BassTunedToRed]

Remember when Salah scored the clincher against United in January 2020?

Of course you do. It was his 15th goal of that season in all comps, a season in which Liverpool won the league.

He already has 15 in 2021/22
