When does Mo leave?

[sydenham red]

Pressure is off in some ways in FAC with that draw, but Arne would need to motivate 2 key home wins next up, coupled with good team performances

Anyone checked on grandad recently? Is the auld codger ok?

Is Mo Salah the greatest player in Liverpool’s modern era?

Ever since joining Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of phenomenal. From his record-breaking debut season to consistently delivering goals and assists year after year, he’s become the heartbeat of the attack. His pace, finishing, and ability to turn games around in moments have made him a nightmare for defenders.

Beyond the numbers, Salah has also played a massive role in Liverpool’s recent success — helping the club win the Champions League and the Premier League, ending a 30-year wait for the title. Week after week he proves why he’s considered one of the best forwards in world football.

But here’s the debate:
Where does Salah rank among Liverpool’s all-time greats?

Is he already above legends like Gerrard, Dalglish, or Rush? Or does he still have more to prove before reaching that level?

Curious to hear everyone’s opinions,
Is Mo Salah Liverpool’s modern GOAT

Ignore this season.

Mo Salah has to be considered an all time Premier League great not just a Liverpool great as he has surpassed many former Premier League greats in his achievements and in goals scored and assists. Salah is the only player to win the Premier League golden boot and playmaker awards in the same season and has done so twice

He has scored some incredible goals and made numerous assists and played a huge part in making Liverpool one of the very top teams in world football once more and the most watched team in world football.

The 433 style of play with 2 wide forwards playing on the shoulder of defenders making runs in behind, supported by a. brilliantly skilful and creative false 9 and the team looking to go to chance creation and goal in as few passes as possible whenever possible. This combined with an excellent press and counter press, picking opposition players up essentially defending while attacking, to regularly win the ball back quickly to score catching the opposition trying to come out has made for sone of the most exciting and scintillating football Liverpool fans and neutrals worldwide have enjoyed for several years.

His recent incredible stats were

432 Liverpool appearances
254 goals
121 assists
375 G/A in 432 games
4 Premier League golden boots
2 Premier League playmaker awards
Salah is the only player to win the Premier League golden boot and playmaker awards in the same season and has done so twice
4th most goals in Premier League history
7th most assists in Premier League history

Again highlighting him as an all time Premier League & Liverpool legend and great

Salah has enjoyed some advantages in the system being made to play to his strengths and a lot of focus put on supporting him playing on the right and on him being the player to remain upfield with little need to track back, his goal numbers have also benefitted from him being the penalty taker.

Oh this is good. 19x now using the TwentyOneX bot to spam AI generated nonsense.

50 goals in the Champions league. Not bad for a winger 🤣
And what a goal it was ( we'll not take about the penalty)

Well said Ian. Incredible barely anyone mentioned it..


He has been a different player this season.. Cannot blame the club for the contract - most of us were begging for it.. He deserved it.. You expect a drop off to occur at his agea and after so many consistent years... but this has been off a cliff. No idea what has caused it.. BUT it's happened to half the squad.. Only more pronounced when the fella that is carrying us for goals and assists all but stops.

Hindsight is great...and had we known what we would get from him up to now - letting him go to Saudi for nada/zero might have not have been so bad.. but still he is by a margin the best wide forward we've had this season.. in terms of goals and assists at least..


For the stat men:

Mo Salah
10 goals - 9 assists...in 2.685 mins


Cody Gakpo

8 goals - 4 assists in 2.832' mins

As mentioned in the summer - The club was IDIOTIC not offering Diaz the money Cody is on - then in cashing in on him and not bothering to replace him with ANYONE - AND then in entering this season with Konate as the only (France u21 at the time) senior CB added to the squad since January the effing 1st 2018!!!!!!


Mo Salah hasn't been close to the levels set BUT scapegoating him has been the go to for so many. This season is not off the rails because of him.
