Robbie Fowler has joked about how ‘by every passing week’ Mohamed Salah is making ‘everyone look bad’ because of the goalscoring records he is breaking.
One of Mohamed Salah’s latest records was scoring for the ninth home game on the bounce – no one in Liverpool’s history has done that.
That record-breaking moment happened as Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded a much-needed 1-0 win over Brentford on Saturday – added to that, it was goal number 186 in the Premier League for the left-footed superstar , the same as Steven Gerrard.
It keeps Liverpool’s slim Champions League hopes alive, but if they are to do the unthinkable, then they have to win every game remaining.
If that happens, then Salah will and has to be at the heart of it all, with Fowler in no doubt that the 30-year-old is a club legend and how he has surprised him with the number of goals he has scored, as he told Premier League Productions (06/05/23 at 6:30 pm).
“I think by every passing week he is making everyone look bad, to be fair,” said Fowler.
“His record is phenomenal. He came to the club and I don’t think anyone envisaged the amount of goals and the amount of great performances he would put in.
“But he has been an absolute phenomenon for Liverpool. A real handful. A great team-mate. He says all the right things. He does all the right things. What more can you say? He has just been a phenomenal signing for Liverpool.
On if Salah is a Liverpool legend? “Absolutely,” responded Fowler. “When you look at what he has won. What he has achieved and what he has done – rightly, correctly and everything under the sun, he should be an absolute Liverpool legend.”
SALAH ONE OF LIVERPOOL’S GREATEST
It’s claimed that Salah hasn’t had a great season, well, if scoring 19 Premier League goals and 30 from 48 in all competitions is a poor season, then every forward would take that every day of the week.
Liverpool have been well off it this season from the middle of the park, if that’s sorted in the summer, then it will allow their speedster on the right to blossom even further next term.
A Liverpool great that is only enhancing his legacy, Salah has scored 186 goals and supplied 74 assists from 302 matches.
