Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has declared that he would rather lose Mohamed Salah than Sadio Mane, saying that the Senegalese forward played a role in bringing Liverpool back to relevance.
Mane opened the scoring with a header and Salah scored a stunning goal as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield to return top of the Premier League table.
The African duo is going through a fine season with Salah topping the Premier League goalscorers chart alongside Sergio Aguero with 19 goals, while the Senegal international only two goals behind.
“I’m a massive fan of Mane. People talk about Jurgen Klopp, the signings of Salah, Van Dijk, unbelievable. Mane is the one that got Liverpool back. If you think, he was Klopp’s first big signing, paid £30m,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“He was the signing that got Liverpool into the top four. The next season it was the Champions League final, this season it’s challenging for the title. It’s not just scoring, being top of the charts, getting goals when it’s 4-0 and banging a couple in at the end of the game, it’s the importance of the goals Mane is getting.”
“You think about it and I think sometimes he goes under the radar. You’ve got Salah, Van Dijk at the back, the goalkeeper. Liverpool are going for a first title in almost 30 years. He’s the best wide player Liverpool have had for 30 years.”

“You have to go back to John Barnes since Liverpool have had a wide player like that.”

Liverpool's season so far: August

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe.
