The ranking underlines Salah\u2019s standing at Anfield despite Carragher positioning him outside the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The former Reds defender highlighted Salah\u2019s place among Liverpool\u2019s elite while pointing to consistency and availability as decisive factors. \u201cThe Egyptian King, Mo Salah. He\u2019s always going to be in the top 10, anyone\u2019s top 10, it\u2019s just where he comes on that list,\u201d said Carragher. \u201cAnd for me, the thing I love about Mo Salah is the consistency, the longevity as well as the goals and the ability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carragher expanded on Salah\u2019s impact in major matches and his season-by-season output. He added: \u201cThe thing I love about Salah as well is, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever really had a bad season. Even some great players at times, they\u2019re not at the same level and they come back the year after. Mo Salah gets 30 goals every season for Liverpool. He\u2019s never injured. I love that fact about players, I love players who are on that team sheet week after week, and that\u2019s exactly what Mo Salah is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis record in the biggest games, especially against Manchester United as well, he\u2019s got some iconic moments. And for me, one of the greatest players and greatest goalscorers we\u2019ve ever seen at Liverpool Football Club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The list places Steven Gerrard at number one, with Kenny Dalglish second and Graeme Souness third. John Barnes is fourth and Ian Rush fifth. Carragher\u2019s selection also includes Alan Hansen seventh and Virgil van Dijk eighth, with Kevin Keegan and Ian Callaghan rounding out the top 10 at nine and ten respectively. Carragher noted his long association with Gerrard, having shared the pitch with him on 572 occasions. The list follows a familiar debate among supporters that often centres on Gerrard and Dalglish for the club\u2019s greatest-ever honour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carragher places Mohamed Salah sixth in his Liverpool top 10, with Gerrard top and Dalglish second..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10034,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175,172],"tags":[1064,1536,1555],"class_list":["post-10035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-liverpool","category-epl","tag-ballon-dor-2","tag-champions-league-goals","tag-ian-rush"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
