Salah has never posted more shots in a single Premier League game than his nine against Arsenal, and he hasn’t posted as many touches in a single game all season.
It stemmed from Trent’s new role and Liverpool’s new-look 3-2-5 shape.

I’d be gutted if he left

I would be after the last few games.
Seemed to take a penalty miss or two to get him going.
Very good chance he finishes the season above Gerrard.
Just realised he is top 4 in the PL, I assume he will aim for 20 again.

Needs four goals to keep pace with his last two seasons, but also to overtake Gerrard.
Best to ever play for Liverpool? Certainly in the conversation.

He’s the only current player who makes my all-time Liverpool XI.

Best ever to play for Liverpool, nah, not much of a conversation.
In the all time XI, yeah that’s more realistic, although he’s not a guaranteed one for me.
One of the most successful Liverpool players in last decades, sure.

I’d say most people will agree on the likes of:
Clemence, Neal, Hansen, Souness, Gerrard, Dalglish and Rush. Probably Barnes also (apologies if some have watched Liddell!).
Then in the remaining 3-4 positions, it can variate.

Really? Not in the conversation?
The only person on the scoring list with a better GPG is Gordon Hodgson.
Oh, and I’m not having Suarez in the all time eleven @The-AllMightyReds. Possibly the most gifted player to ever play for us, but he was only here three years before he fucked off to Barca.

Thought Alan Hansen was a real clever footballer in his day. What needs to be taken into account if judgement is to assessed fairly… Hansen had never played in an LFC team without the ‘back pass’ rule still being in existence - It didn’t get banned until after he retired - Just saying.!
I mean we can have a conversation, but it’s not like it’s close for me. Whether someone has Dalglish, Gerrard or Rush as the best. In my mind, Salah is not in that conversation. It’s not all about numbers and goals per minute or whatever. Also, better to let him complete his story with us. Hopefully 2 more seasons of consistent goalscoring.
Some here wouldn’t have him in the team, let alone the conversation.
Sell him.
On too much money.
Etc etc
Good to see the new system has him more involved, the more he is on the ball and nearer the goal the better it is for the team.

That’s fine, I’m still having him in mine. 
He’s the 1 exception from the “limited time” he spent at the club, if we had the Suarez back then during our 2018-2021 run we win absolutely everything & he’d be in everyone’s all time XI.

Agree, Salah will go down as a legend no doubt about it, but there’s only 1 king and that king is the greatest to have ever wore the red shirt.
