169 When all is said and done, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah may well go down as the greatest player in Premier League history.
The Egyptian truly is a world-class player. He’s scored at a rate that very few others ever have in this league, and he’s been doing it for a long time now.
However, despite Salah’s ongoing brilliance at Liverpool, he isn’t spoken about in these terms very often.
Indeed, while everyone recognises that Salah is fantastic, he’s rarely mentioned in that all-time greatest conversation, and perhaps he should be.
Speaking on the BBC Match of the Day Top 10 Podcast, Gary Lineker has been making a similar point about Salah, claiming that the Egyptian may not always get the recognition he deserves.
Salah slightly underrated
Lineker shared his verdict on the ‘world class’ attacker.
“He’s driven isn’t he? He seems a really good guy. He is rated and it’s a bit silly to say he’s underrated, but do you think he gets the recognition he really deserves?” Lineker said.
Not recognised
Lineker is absolutely right, as daft as it may sound, Salah is still slightly underrated.
It’s very difficult for any footballer to be recognised within their own time, but we really should all be talking about Salah as one of the very best players we’ve seen in the Premier League.
Maybe it’s because it’s been going on for so long, but Salah’s brilliance seems to have been normalised a little bit at this point, and that is why he’s not necessarily spoken about in these terms in the way he probably deserves to be.
Everyone knows how good Salah is right now, but it may be time to rethink the Egyptian’s standing in the history of football, because he’s genuinely one of the best to ever do it.
