Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards all discussed Mohamed Salah and Liverpool's title chances after Merseyside derby success
Alan Shearer believes Mohamed Salah did not play well despite scoring twice in Saturday's Merseyside derby - while also backing the Reds for a title challenge despite some "iffy" defending.
Gary Lineker kicked things off, asking: "Mo Salah, he's firing - I was going to say firing again, every player has little dips but he doesn't have many, does he? He's just a consistent performer."READ MORE: Robertson latest and Jones 'loophole' - Liverpool injury and suspension latest Sheared said: "Give me playing s*** every day of the week and let me score goals, I wouldn't care how I played. I'd have loved to have played well every game but obviously you don't, but I'll take s*** every day of the week so long as I score. Same with you isn't it?"
While potentially agreeing again, Shearer suggested Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who scored 36 goals in 35 top-flight appearances last season and has a further nine already in 2023/24, as another candidate for this particular mantle. As the debate took another turn, Lineker said Salah was obviously better at present given the fact Hazard, formerly of Chelsea, recently retired from the sport.
"Hazard has played in that position as well at times but I think they're different sorts of players. Mo Salah will always score more goals than Hazard so it's a bit of an argument of player over goalscorer. What do you think is the answer to that question?"
