What a season.
I hope Real Madrid are watching, in more ways than one.

Mo Salah

- Start date
..and he breaks the record!
The highest scoring premier league goal scorer (in a single season) of all time.. in his debut season.. from the wing!

New record-holder: 32 goals. Madness.
He deserves the record. He's goals are so spread out. Much better stat than 3 hatticks against minows.
32 - Mo Salah has now scored 32 Premier League goals this season, more than any player in a 38-game campaign in the competition.
17 - Mo Salah has scored against 17 different Premier League opponents this season; no player has ever scored against more in a single campaign in the competition.
Speaking about that.

It's incredible that with a player like that (or in that form) Liverpool only managed to secure their CL place on the last day. When Suarez was in that kind of form (and Salah's is probably even better), they were one slip away from the title.
The league is much better than that season. Man City has blown everyone out of the water and we have been very consistent in terms of picking up points againt top opposition. Also, his 32 goals haven't added more value as Suarez's because they concede so many goals and often it takes them atleast 2-3 goals to get wins.
However, no question on his ability. With the free role, and with the mobile center-forward in Firminho and the race horse in Mane, he has really excelled. It would be madness if he leaves this setup to go somewhere else as I truly believe that Klopp is getting the most out of him with his system.
CAF whipping out their cocks now, wanking furiously over pictures of Mourinho and Ashley Young
If Liverpool don't win the CL, he would be better off scoring 15-20 in a trophy winning side like Bayern or Real rather than scoring 40 per season in Klopp's system and winning nothing.
For me, he’s been great but nowhere near Suarez 13/14 level. That’s the highest quality of play I’ve ever seen from a Liverpool player and he was easily the best striker in the world at that point.
Picked up 10 points against the top 6. In 13/14 they got 16. Finished on 84 points vs 75. Add in the CL run and injuries(and luck) and there you have it
Best ever season from a PL player
That's strange, but I probably agree. On paper Salah's season is much better but he is not as convincing to me as Suarez was (or Henry or Ronaldo before him).
Salah has been at least 3rd best player in the world behind Messi & Ronaldo thorughout 2017-18 season.
One could argue that Salah might even be on the same level as them during 2017-18 seaosn.
Noone said about the same for when Suárez made his incredible 2013-14 season.
Fuming if I was a Chelsea fan. What a cock up from everyone involved.
Noone did? Did everyone go blind that season?
True, he definitely needs to move for greater team achievements like league trophies and CL. However, if his ambitions are limited to individual achievements then the setup is perfect. He has already tried and failed (relatively) at two other clubs.
For a new club, his role will be different and he may (or may not) have defensive responsibilities. Also, he may have to play second fiddle to other marquee players in the team and from the evidence of this season, he doesn't contribute much to the overall play if he isn't scoring or assisting.
What a player! Please go to Madrid!
Totall agree. Suarez that season used to run rings around defenders, dribble them once, and dribble them again and get it into the net eventually. He single handedly raised the standard of a mid-table team and took them to second place (and almost first, thanks StevieG).
Every match Liverpool were playing, he was the standout performer. Every opponent was trying to get his to keep quiet. The fall in quality was very real once he moved to Barcelona and Liverpook struggled.
Nowhere near? Weird statement. Suarez was great that season but fell of a cliff post February, from which point onwards his goalscoring record dramatically reduced. Sterling and Coutinho were the two best players in that run of 11 consecutive wins that took us close to the title.
Equally, a large proportion of Suarez' goals came against lower table cannon fodder. Salah's spread of goals is much better and he has the most goals in the league by any player against top 6 opposition. Some huge goals in the CL too. Whilst Suarez' goals reel from 13/14 trumps Salah's from this year - I'd say Salah's effectiveness has been slightly more, especially if we win the CL.
Nah. Henry, Suarez and Ronaldo top it from the ones I've seen, as far as attackers go.
You cannot argue with the numbers. I can understand the other 2 but Suarez ??
I can. Because Henry was a better and more dominant footballer.
Suarez was absolutely brutal in 13/14. A more complete and well rounded footballer than Salah. I suppose their could be argument made against him due to the bigger games but I don't remember those performances well.
Henry was a striker though and also had the skill/possibilty of taking FKs. Plus Henry had several seasons to develop into that player. This is Salah's first proper PL season. That, the number of goals and the variety if the teams he has scored against makes it better
Henry was a better player but Salah's season from an individual POV is better IMHO
Yeah, noone did (or maybe very few).
However, Suárez was unquestionably regarded by most people as the best #9 in the world during 2013-14 season.
That's a very huge difference.
I think it's fair to say this season the numbers got inflated. Kane has 30 goals for the season in the league too, City broke the points record. Even last year a Chelsea team that wasn't that great managed to come close to breaking it. It's not normal to see these numbers so high.
The bottom clubs aren't as good as they used to be.
You won't see me arguing there. The PL isn't great for viewing, I am sticking with it by habit
Suarez that season was great, but we had no champions league football, we had a weeks rest almost all season.
This season Salah has destroyed both premier league and champions league defences, broken the prem record and got us to the champions league final
Salah > Suarez, in terms of who had a better season, it's not even close

Got the golden boot today, another prize added to a perfect season. So proud of him. 
Suárez was probably better than the both of them in 2013-14.
You can say Suarez was better, but «nowhere near» is of course a silly thing to say. It’s very marginal, at best
He's scooping up awards. There's always something intoxicating about a stylish, creative left footer.
Totally
Suarez scored 31 in 33.
Norwich City says hello. Salah has been more efficient against more teams and Suarez is a striker.
He was a striker who contributed even more to the build up than Salah does. He once got over 20 assists in a season. Different animal.
To be fair Salah is also a striker if we look at his role. Like Cristiano is — a clear goalscorer from the wing, Suarez contributed more in the build up and by defending from the front
I know all of that but I still think Salah playing his first true season at Liverpool and beating all those records is more impressive. Simply talking about goals here, you don't need to include other things in order to prove that Henry was better, which is the truth that was never questioned.
Cristiano used to be that but not anymore nowadays and besides when Ronaldo was playing as a winger sort of, he basically had nothing to do in terms of pressing.
I see what you're saying, but I definitely believe Suarez rightly earned the Ronaldo & Henry comparisons for a PL season, and now Salah is also in that category.
