      Mo Salah - is he a top 3 all time Liverpool player
      Sep 04, 2024 02:06:51 pm
      Mo said he wants to be remembered here as a top 2 ( with Stevie ) player of all time

      1 player jumps out instantly as being left out of that debate!!

      But whenever Mo is done here, where will he rank in the all time greats? Is he top 2? Is he top 3?

      I know most of us wont have seen some players luke Billy Liddell etc but from who youve seen where does he rank?

      Out of those I have seen, he is number one for me, appreciate he won't be for most as I am relatively young.

      My top three would be.

      Mo
      Gerrard
      Suarez

      For those who saw the likes of Kenny, Rush etc. is there anything more he can do at this point in time to eclipse them?

      Is it really so much about how much you win though or are we purely talking in the sense of evaluating the player they are/were and matching it up against the skills/athleticism/technique etc of others?

      Because pretty much all the guys from the 70s/80s won more than what Mo & Stevie have.....Hansen, Souness, Whelan, Kennedy, Beardsley, Neal etc and the guys from the mid-late 80s never had the chance to win any European cups because of the ban on English teams.

      If we're talking purely from a players perspective and everything involved in the game, I don't see how a Salah can be better than a Molby or Barnes.

      I agree. Is it basef on goals, is it based on hero status, is it based on skill

      For example for mastery of a ball hes behind a good few, Molby, Alonso, Kenny, Terry mac, Suarez, beardsley

      Based on goals, hes arguably only behind Rush and Hunt for goals per game, but hes a winger!!

      Kenny
      Stevie
      Rush
      Mo
      Cally

      So Mo does not make my top 3. Individual goals etc are a different matter. Cally was consistent year in year out and gets in on longevity and quality.

      Doesn’t take away the way he made me feel when watching him, still the most entertaining player I’ve ever watched, I couldn’t wait for weekends just to see what crazy sh*t he’d do in a game.

      Bla bla bla shouldn't you be walking around in black still in mourning. Just enjoying a 5-0 romp from a few years ago with Ole at the wheel oh Mo just scored his hatrick

      Top 3 ... possibly. Top 5 ... imo definetely. Absolute class act on and off the pitch. Absolute consistency personified. Team player and a winner.

      And these people putting suarez in a top 5.  Youre entitled to your opinion of course. I wouldnt have a thug who embarrassed Dalglish and lied to him, spat on people, racially abused people, stamped on people, bit people to try and force his way out, went on strike and refused to play, tried to force a move through to arsenal and was generally a c*nt of a human being ... he's in the top 3 for c*nts at this club in company with the likes of diouf but a top 5 player to ever play for this club? Behave. Rush Torres Fowler and even Owen all miles ahead of that snake as was Sir Roger and my grandads favourite Billy Lids. The snake won us fcuk all and was only out for himself. Never a legend here. Sorry ... not sorry.

      Based on the players I have watched
      1. Gerrard
      2. Kenny
      3. Barnes
      4. Rush

      Maybe Mo number 5. Bloody hard as so many greats.

      Don't think so, however he will be regarded as one of the best, if not the best, of the Klopp/Slot era, and that's enough of a compliment I should think.

      I guess hes in the LFC Premier league era top 3 for me.

      Gerrard
      Mo
      Suarez

      All time I've no real idea but from tails told from before  my time Kenny Rush etc...

      Hard to judge forwards v defenders and keepers though isn't it? VVD and Allison etc.
