  4. Why is Mo Salah on that list?

    He hasn’t properly proved himself yet. Sure, he had a decent season last season, but he seems to have been “found out” this season.

    Not sure how anyone can complain at Okocha being ranked above Mane, he's one of the best footballers Africa has ever produced and was brilliant his whole career

    Thank you <ok>

    That was in the Championship, a different league, literally.
    No he was good at PSG, am not saying he was a bad player, but I saw him play many times, and Mane has more skill in his ball sack than Okocha had in his whole body.

    He's got the same number of goals that he had this time last year and he had a career before coming to Liverpool. He did well in Italy too.

    He was ****e at Chelsea.
    I wouldnt have him so high personally, I would certainly rank Mae higher than Salah.
    Mane has been great in the PL for 3 seasons running now.

    Everyone on the planet has African descent. <ok>

    Yeah... I know what you mean though, and yes Henry would certainly be near the top on anyone's list.

    So was Sturridge and then he had two great seasons before getting injured and losing pace.

    Torres was shiite at Chelsea but fantastic at Atletico and Liverpool.

    One team does not make up a players entire history. Lots of players have bad years at a team.

    Didnt say it did, but its still should be taken into account when measuring up an overall score.
    Salah has had two seasons in the PL, one where he sucked balls, one where he owned.
    I dont think that warrants him being 5th on the list, yet, is all.
