Salah is a long way from No1 spot: Five greatest Liverpool strikers named
2. Luis Suarez
2011-2014 (133 appearances, 82 goals): He does not possess the longevity of most of the others here, and those who do not make the list. But for individual brilliance, no Liverpool attacker, or player for that matter, has matched the little Uruguyan, who ate defenders for breakfast, metaphorically and literally. Demonic in personality, he has the touch of an angel, the imagination of a sorcerer and the skill of a wizard. Even his off-days were good and when he was on fire, he was virtually unstoppable. Until Salah came along, it is difficult to imagine that his performances in 2013-14, when he was crowned double-winning Player of the Year after beginning the season with a ten-match ban for biting, have been surpassed over the course of a campaign in the club’s history. Wept with tears when his dream of shooting Liverpool to an unlikely title ended. Were it not for him, they would never have been in the running in the first place. Manoeuvred a move to Barcelona after yet another biting offence at the 2014 World Cup but it is testament to the huge hole he left in the Liverpool attack that £100million-plus of signings would fail miserably in replacing the irreplaceable.
