The Debate: Goalscorer vs. Player
Former Liverpool midfielder Paul Ince has sparked debate by claiming that Mohamed Salah, while a world-class goalscorer, may not meet the criteria of a world-class player in a technical sense. This statement came during a conversation on talkSPORT, where Ince dissected the Egyptian forward’s abilities on the pitch.
Salah’s Record Speaks Volumes
Salah’s impressive track record since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 is undeniable. With a stunning 32 goals in his first 36 Premier League matches and a total of 209 goals from 340 appearances, Salah has cemented his place as Liverpool’s third all-time highest goalscorer, surpassing legends like Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish.
