In the pantheon of overseas attacking players to have excelled in England, only Thierry Henry eclipses Salah's output and consistency. While many will argue the merits of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard, Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Bergkamp or Eric Cantona, none of them produced the same devastating numbers as consistently, season-after-season, as the Egyptian.

He was unreal for years but shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Ronaldo.

He's talking about performance and impact in the PL, not overall career.

Ronaldo in the EPL has two very good seasons and one outstanding season.  (I recall him being a figure of fun on fantasy football with Baddiel & Skinner back in the day)

While he had a far better overall career than Salah and will go down as an all time great, some of the Mancs seem to forget that he really took off when he left United and he became the global superstar at Madrid. 

Salah's impact in the EPL was far greater than Ronaldo's over a longer period of time, Salah will however not be in the conversation of greatest player of all time, which Ronaldo will.

Brilliant player, certainly one of the best I've seen in the Premiership, under Klopp he was unstoppable, just for whatever reasons this year and part of last year he has fallen away, it happens to players but best Liverpool player since the premiership started

All players lose speed after so long

The year he was done in the CL final by your man, name escapes me, was his best year. He was unplayable. As good as he has been this last few years he was near Messi levels that year until he was wrecked.

Premier league he's been great. Not the best ever but definitely very very good and there'd be no premiership titles at anfield without him.
