Surely everyone here agrees that Salah has already cemented his status as a Premier League great right?

Seen some really mad stats from him lately

What strikes me about him is that he’s almost always available for selection too. (Played in 325/355 matches since signing). Unused sub three times, he missed six games in 2022 due to AFCON. Could miss PL games v Bournemouth, Chelsea & Arsenal next month due to AFCON

Comes across as a pretty nice guy too Constantly puts up great G/A numbers as well

Top top footballer

Why 'already'? He's in his thirties. His status was already settled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t think many would disagree that he’s probably the greatest PL winger of all time, gets into the PL all time best XI and has been the best PL player since he’s arrived

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, with ONE Prem title

Is anyone denying this? The debate should be, in an all time team who would you play on the wing Bale or Salah?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ABSOLUTELY.
Nothing to even consider

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Already"?

He's in his 7th season.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Abso-fricken-lutely, from a yank across the pond wishing I will see this legend play in person

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He’s the best player in the second best team of this era. The equivalent of Thierry Henry at Arsenal. He will absolutely be remember as one of the greats.

His goals total for a winger is higher than anyone, look at the strikers he’s up there with, and he hasn’t been in the league his entire career either. He’s got assists too, match winning performances, big game stats, big game performances, and all the trophies… there’s no argument against him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Greatest PL winger is pushing it but his legendary status was cemented a while ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m baffled as to why there aren’t already plans for his statue outside Anfield

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He's definitely in the top 2 Egyptians in the league right now, no question.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Salah is one of the best current players. He has probably reached legendary status already.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Premier league legend yes, but not guaranteed to be in an all-time premier league XI

EDIT: For those downvoting, here’s a BBC poll from last year. Salah didn’t make the final team.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Surely this is guaranteed, a level above 95% of players. Only man I've seen give VDV a torrid time this season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He’s the best winger in PL history nvm a PL legend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Next question.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Salah is a legend for sure. Not sure there’s been a better winger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What player would you compare it to? Giggs? Salah is better than him imo. Absolute legend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He's certainly among the top right wingers currently playing for liverpool

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Preface with this, I'm not a Liverpool fan and don't have a care for the club.

If Salah was European or South American, he'd already be considered one of the greatest in premier league history. His numbers are insane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah… about 3 years ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes he is already a PL legend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Is salah the bes RW in the prem? I think so. Mahrez 2nd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Coldest take ever lol he’s obviously a PL legend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

His "problem" is his media game? If he had a Ronaldo/Messi brand building team behind him it would never be a doubt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm a City supporter and the answer is, absolutely, yes he has.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Without a single doubt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How is this even a question?

He’s the greatest winger in PL history.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The monthly "Is Salah Legend" post.

Yes, not a single reasonable guy thinks he is not up there with the best.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He is the most consistent player in PL history. Just the numbers alone as a Winger, goals scored against big teams, PL trophy, Player of the season.

This may sound bias but to me, he is top 5 all time best PL players. Just way too many goal contributions and he takes proper care of himself.

I think if he was English he would have been called the greatest PL player of all time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably has the most goals and assists against the big 6 clubs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Erm yeah I’d think it’s safe to say so

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Salah shows up for LFC every season. He is a legend.

Only Kane and Henry and Shearer have such a consistent record in the PL.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, easily.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

if he's not, who is?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Joke of the century

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And he doesn’t mind playing defense. And he always looks like he’s enjoying himself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Even as a Manchester United fan- in an all time premiere league eleven, I’d have Salah on the right wing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Better than giggs and yes I said that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Legend for me and I’m an Arsenal fan lol he def deserves it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

from an arsenal fans perspective if this guy was younger hed be the most valuable asset in the world

one of the best most consistent and complete attackers the PL has ever seen a top top class player that scores a range of different types of goals gets plenty of assists always puts in incredible work rate and is barely injured

when mane was pressing as a strong fast and physical but also technically gifted player liverpool were almost unplayable

if not for Man Cities consistent under the table deals we would be talking about one of the most successful teams in the PL era

He definitely is
