Mo's certainly having a better first season, Luis oh so nearly dragged us to the title..
Luis so far, Mo if he stays and repeats this season. Yup. Think I'll go along with that for now

Very different players.
Suarez had a special bit of magic about him. He was just a force of nature. Never had any clue what he would do. Nutmeg king, incredibly good touch, dribbling, tricks, bonkers passes. He seemed like he could win games on his own. He was like a whirlwind. Irresistible at times, but sometimes out of control and inefficient. His first full season was really frustrating, and he had behavior issues.
Salah is almost the opposite. He's so bloody efficient it's mesmerizing. Silky perfect touch, the balance, the direct running, the Messi like ability to get the ball to stick to his feet, and the deadly turn of pace. And his finishing is crazy. If Salah can do this for 2 seasons, I will say Mo wins, but Suarez for now.

Salah is having a great season, but Suarez was world class. In terms of pure ability, Suarez is by far the best to have played for Liverpool. I take it you were not lucky enough to see John Barnes...

Suarez. Salah is a great goal scorer no doubt. But Suarez seemed to be doing it on his own a lot of the time. Also Suarez seemed to be able to do it all. Pass, shoot, track back, dribble, thread a ball, score from the half way line, phenomenal work rate, never injured, strong on the ball. And most importantly, consistently our best player over a few seasons. Salah is on to beat his goal tally, sure, Its just think Suarez in his prime was unplayable at times in that 13/14 season. Two very different players. It’s hard to compare them. If salah keeps it up and has another season like this he’ll suppass Suarez imo. this

I think Suarez had more ability/skill, he scored some unbelievable goals, but I question his temperament, the biting incidents, he had a short fuse and could blow at any time, costing the team.
Salah is a better all round package, I don't worry about him being involved in a mad incident.
We've lost Suarez, I'm happy we've got Salah, hopefully we can keep him longer than Suarez.

Yeah, Digger was something special, my fave Liverpool player ever, he played in an amazing team as well, something Suarez didn't.

John Barnes was the most complete footballer ever to play for the Club, the man never had a weakness to his game although I thought Gerrard at his peak pushed him close. Suarez was a very good player for us but wasn't great in the air had trickery but no pace and couldn't tackle all parts of the game Digger excelled at...

Suarez is the better player, absolutely amazing to watch. But sometimes the better player is not the most effective. We will soon see how well Salah does after this season. But at the moment if just going on goals and assists in his first season he is untouchable.

Well if we're comparing players who are all different we have a problem. Someone mentioned John Barnes and with good cause, but then you have to mention Dalgleish, Gerrard, Hunt, Rush, 'God', Liddle, Keegan, etc, etc, all brilliant players as well as Suarez and Salah. Every one of those were brilliant players as were so many others not mentioned, and they all have one thing in common; they were all different, and therefore can't be compared, they are incomparable. You could ask: what about the great defenders we've had? What about the great keepers we've had? Are they to be included in comparisons with those mentioned above? For me are so lucky to have had them at Liverpool, and I for one am happy to leave it at that. Except to say that Salah on current form is ONE of the many best players we've had at Liverpool.
