Jamie Carragher points out two things Mohamed Salah must do to overtake Steven Gerrard as Liverpool’s best-ever player
Mohamed Salah is having the type of season that demands him being discussed as a legend of the game.
The Liverpool winger is well and truly raising the bar this campa♊🍨ign and a case can be made that he is having the greatest individual campaign in Premier League history.
No player to have ever played in the Premier League has ever scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists in a single campaign other than Mohamed Salah this term — who is on course to surpass Alan Shearer (47 in the 1994/1995 season) by having the most goal involvements in a 🉐single season.
Salah should be in the Ballon d’Or race as he is truly operating at an indescribably high level as he stands out as the primary reason why Arne Slot’s side migh💛t be the best team in the world.
As the Egyptian continues to hit new heights, the question is what more he needs to do to be considered Liverpool’s best player of all time over Steven Gerrard?
In the Premier League era at the very leaܫst, Gerrard and Salah are widely viewed as the two best players to have ever played at Anfield.
How Mohamed Salah could surpass Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard’s legendary status might remain untouchable, e✱ven when ⛦compared to Liverpool’s number 11 due to how much time he spent at the club and him being the Reds’ best-ever captain.
But whether Gerrard can still be considered a better player for Liverpool than Salah after what the latter has already achieved this sea🀅son and is on course to might be far more debatable.
Jamie Carragher, who played with Steven Gerrard has admitted that if Salah win💃s another PFA Players’ Player of The Year award and the Ballon d’Or while also winning the league, he might surpass his formeไr teammate once and for all.
Carragher said on The Overlap’s Fan Debate: “I didn’t think…how could☂ anyone do more than Stevie? His whoꦜle career at the club, what happened in Istanbul, the cup final the year later but if [Mohamed] Salah, not keeps going because he’s going to get [PFA Players’] Player of the Year but I don’t think anyone’s won PFA Player of the Year three times.”
“And if he wins the Ballon d’Or as well, I’m thinking, I hope Stevie’s not watching but even though he’s my man in football, I played with him, I wouldn’t probably be sitting on this couch if it wasn’t for Stevie because I’d probably have no trophies but if someone argued that Salah was Liverpool’s number one player, if he wi🐷ns the Ballon d’Or, if he wins another PFA Player of the Year, you almos🅠t can’t argue against it. Even if you love Stevie, you grew up watching him as well, the things that he could achieve are just mind-blowing.”
Arn🍸e Slot considers Ger🌸rard as Liverpool’s greatest player but even the Dutchman might have to fall on his sword if Salah continues to makeไ 𒉰history.
Gerrard compared to Salah at Liverpool
Perhaps one way to determine who out of the pair comes out on top is by 🌳comparing their respective statistics.
| PREMIER LEAGUE STATS | APPEARANCES | GOALS | ASSISTS |
| MOHAMED SALAH | 290 | 182 | 85 |
| STEVEN GERRARD | 504 | 120 | 92 |
Solely comparing their spells in the Premier League, Salah (267 goal contributions) is obviously far more productive than G🍸errard (212 goal contributions) due to being a forward.
In terms of both players’ trophy hauls as well, the former has won the lot while Gerrard has never won a leagu🐟e title. However, Steven Ger🔜rard was a once-in-a-generation player and captain, which makes this debate a never-ending one.
