00:00So, Will, looking at Liverpool, and obviously a key man so far this season, Mohamed Salah,
00:05but in terms of the records he's made, he's now obviously in the top eight of all-time Premier League goalscorers.
00:13Where does he rank in terms of Liverpool's all-time players?
00:17I mean, he's had a remarkable time at Anfield.
00:21Yeah, he has, and I think he's getting to the stage where he's touching on Stephen Gerrard
00:28and Kenny Dalglish, if I'm being brutally honest.
00:31There have been some fabulous players in Liverpool's time, some very underrated players when you think back to the 70s and 80s,
00:38but what Mohamed Salah has done for this Liverpool team in an era where you've had to compete against Manchester City
00:44and Liverpool have been beaten in two Champions League finals, the numbers are...
00:50He speaks for himself, really, and he's 32 going on 33.
00:56And you have to say that he probably is behind those two in terms of what he's done at the club,
01:05and he's shown no signs of stopping, as we speak now.
01:10The difficulty is, is he going to stay at Liverpool beyond the end of the season?
01:14Because we know his contract's running down, and after the 2-1 win against Brighton,
01:19he put out a cryptic message saying,
01:21no matter what happens, I'll always enjoy scoring at Anfield, or enjoy the feat, remember the feeling.
01:29And Arna Slott played that down a little bit at his subsequent press conference,
01:33but I think Arna Slott knows, he'll know, and Liverpool will be aware that Salah and his team put a little bit of pressure on Liverpool
01:41to get this deal done, because you're looking at where Mo Salah, as we speak, could go now,
01:46and you wouldn't be thinking he'd be going to Real Madrid, given how many attacking players they have.
01:51Barcelona have got their financial difficulties.
01:54Does Mo Salah really want to go to Saudi Arabia?
01:57Because it seems to be that that bubble's burst, doesn't it?
02:01So I think that was Mo Salah subtly saying, come on, let's get on with it, let's get this sorted.
02:09He knows it'll cause a little bit of a stir in the media, and fans will be talking about it.
02:15But yeah, that goal of Yves Bright was a quintessential Mo Salah goal.
02:21If you're thinking about his highlight reel, cutting inside, the defender knows he wants to cut inside,
02:26but he can't do anything about it, and then unleashing an effort into the top corner.
02:30But a fantastic finish, 15 goals for the season now, as you say,
02:35from, as we speak, on the all-time top scorer list, and he's got Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard in his sights this season.
