I think it is worth giving Salah a shoutout for becoming the first ever Premier League player to rack up 10+ goals and 10+ assists before Christmas.
23 Dec 2024 13:00:13
He’s going to be a cracking free signing for someone ?.
23 Dec 2024 13:07:33
Think you might need a bigger boat, JK!
23 Dec 2024 13:49:53
Rome I’d be devastated if it happened mate.
23 Dec 2024 13:53:35
You, me, both, mate.

I think the number of goals is important but I would like to see stats on how many individual games they have scored in. Also, whether it was the first goal, winner etc. This would give a bit of context. I know he scored near the 4th and 5th goals yesterday but so often his goals make the difference in games and therefore on the points total.
The thing about mo is how many games he scores in and how telling the contributions are. Mo scores one or two goals in a lot of games whilst others hit hat-tricks back to back and then are quiet for the next six games.
23 Dec 2024 14:15:30
KD7 that would be quite a complicated one to get. The one I did see earlier was that Salah has 330 G/ A in 339 starts.
23 Dec 2024 15:18:39
Salah's numbers are similar to Henry's. Marginally better in fact.
Make no mistake, Salah has as good a claim as anyone for being the best player to ever play in the Premier League.
23 Dec 2024 15:48:57
What a player. Liverpool Legend.
23 Dec 2024 15:50:24
-SR- I think if Salah wins 1 or 2 more league titles with us and goes past Aguero/ Cole in the all time top scorers list, nobody will dispute the legitimacy of the claims that Salah is the best anymore. Sure they might not agree (Henry, Hazard and Ronaldo often come up in the debate), but they won't mock the mere suggestion. The problem you run into in these debates, is some strange people love pointing out team honour lists even when you're discussing individual brilliance. Ridiculous really, because on that basis Milan Baros was a better striker for Liverpool than Fernando Torres.
23 Dec 2024 17:33:54
@ mk I'll be around to dispute the numbers etc.
23 Dec 2024 18:07:24
Here’s one then gents.
Where do you rate Salah as a LFC legend?
It’s only opinions so there’s no wrong answer.
{Ed025's Note - right up there i would say JK..
23 Dec 2024 18:16:35
Absolutely he's got legend status already lad's 100%.
23 Dec 2024 18:34:53
He'd be in my all time Liverpool eleven.
I'd have to find a way to fit all of Salah, Dalglish, Rush and Barnes in though.
{Ed025's Note - Salah on the right, Digger on the left, Rushie up top with Kenny as a No10...easy mate..
23 Dec 2024 18:37:56
He will be signing a new contract with Liverpool.
23 Dec 2024 18:40:22
That's a dream team there Billy mate.
23 Dec 2024 19:06:40
I'd prefer up top ed25 2bh.
{Ed025's Note - each to their own i suppose Digger..
23 Dec 2024 19:17:58
He walks into our all time best 11. Barnes as been my idol for ever, I love the man, but Salah is closing in.
23 Dec 2024 19:36:17
That's it, Ed025.
Souness and Gerrard in the middle of the park with a back four of Nicol, Hansen, van Dijk and Lawrenson.
Alisson in goal, for me.
{Ed025's Note - im a massive fan of Alisson as you know Rigsby, but personally for me Ray Clemence gets the keepers shirt mate..the rest i cant argue with..
23 Dec 2024 21:40:52
I only caught the backend of Clemence's Liverpool career so I'd have to go for Alisson.
Clemence's stats speak for themselves though.
{Ed025's Note - he was superb mate..
23 Dec 2024 22:44:51
Definitely a legend. 4th on our all time top scorer list. Unbelievable player.
23 Dec 2024 22:52:50
Tough one between Alisson and Clemence
But if you look at Clemence’s stats, I believe he kept a clean sheet every one in two games for over 600 games for us? That’s Ian rush level kind of stats for a GK. And he did win more with us (and doubt we can say he’s Milan Baros Vs Torres kind of comparison! ) .
Not sure if Lawrenson will make the cut as we do have a lot of good Full backs.
Nonetheless, it’s amazing quite a few current players will make our all time 11. For a long while, non of them will even get close. We are truly witnessing legends playing.
23 Dec 2024 23:15:53
Great calls gents.
Rigsby I think that would be the same team I would go for.
24 Dec 2024 08:44:04
I picked Lawrenson at left back simply because I had to get van Dijk in there even though it meant breaking up a brilliant centre half partnership.
Lawrenson played a bit at left back and it was a case of he has to play.
He was a brilliant footballer and could also play in midfield. I think he played there and scored the other goal in the 0-5 at Goodison with Rush getting four, obviously.
For me, the top, top players just play and find a way to get the job done. I could pick Gerrard at left back, and he would be better than a lot we've ever had, if it meant him getting into the eleven.
24 Dec 2024 10:07:47
To score that many Goals as a winger is just ridiculous really.
