Mo Salah - is he a top 3 all time Liverpool player

Will Salah's influence diminish. Has he got 2 top years left in the tank ? Has obviously adapted his game and although I don't know the figures for assists, I think that part of his game has improved. Clever player, knows he could not carry on doing his sh*t or bust mazy runs at goal and has adapted and creates more chances as a result.

Still in prime nick and I think a 2 year deal is what they should offer him. Don't think the money will be of any importance. Maintain what he gets on a 2 year. Even if he does wane a bit in the second half of the 2nd year of his new contract, he'll still be worth it.

He has that predatory instinct. His 2 goals against Newcastle show that he doesn’t need pace to score goals. He might not have the lightning bursts that he had a few years ago but he’s no slouch either. Look at what Benzema was doing a few years back and what Lewandowski is doing now. Fair enough it’s not the premier league but they were/are doing it in Europe too. Salah is in that category of player in my opinion and think he’ll still be bagging goals/assists for years yet.

Top 3 ... probably. Top 5 definitely.

I've not included some players, like Roger Hunt, because I never saw them kick a ball. Others I haven't seen enough of, or can't remember, like Keegan, Terry Mac, Toshack, R. Kennedy, and Case. Also didn't include Trent because he's got a good few years to go yet (hopefully with us). Those current players I have included, I did so because they are that good and have been for many years:

1. Suarez (so clever, high IQ football brain, simply the best)
2. Gerrard (literally could do anything)
3. Kenny (the King)
4. Barnes (the entertainer, so good on the wing)
5. Rush (nobody scored more goals for us)
6. Salah (record speaks for itself, especially in this day and age)
7. Fowler (best finisher I've seen at LFC)
8. Torres (so much pace, scored tap-ins, thunderbolts, or dribbled through defenders, did it all)
9. Hansen (composed, consistent, Rolls Royce defender - gets the nod over Virge purely on longevity)
10. Virgil (composed, consistent, Rolls Royce defender)
11. Owen (in his prime, unplayable)
12. Aldridge (only two seasons but what a finisher)
13. Bobby (such an intelligent player - made that front 3 tick)
14. Mane (powerful, pacey, direct, and a very decent goal scorer)
15. Beardsley (so tricky)
16. Heighway (gave fullbacks nightmares)
17. Souness (last of the genuine hardmen)
18. Lawrenson (brilliant defender)
19. Sami (Mr. Consistent)
20. Alonso (could open a can of beans with his foot)

Goalkeepers
1. Ali
2. Clemence
3. Grobbelaar
4. Reina

Great list that, and good arguments too.

The only query would be Hansen ahead of Virgil due to longevity, but Luis (3 1/2 seasons) at 1.

Hansen is just before my time but I have seen plenty of old footage of him. Virgil for me is the best defender we have ever had. Ticks every box. Passing, aerial dominance, speed, leadership, reading of the game. That two on one (the one being him) against Spurs when he waited and waited before timing his intervention is one of the greatest bits of defending the game has ever seen. Moore on Jairzinho, that level.

I'd probably go with Gerrard at 1. A Swiss army knife of a player, he could do almost anything on a pitch. At times it got silly how much he carried us. That 2006 FA Cup final, the rest of the players were no more than a 6 out of 10. Alonso played despite being injured, Carra blunder, Reina two blunders, we were a bit of a shambles. But we had him. The vision he had to split open a defence (as he did that day for Cisse), it's no wonder Torres had mediocre numbers either side of playing in front of him. The way he struck the ball. The cut he put on it was a thing of beauty. Goal at home to Arsenal early in his career at the Kop end when he cut down on the ball to put underside spin on it. One at Newcastle when the ball spun inside the netting (still cannot work out his he struck that one).

Mo though, he has to be top 5 now. I'd edge him in front of Barnes (the two wide players in our greatest XI).
