Liverpool fans raged at Andy Goldstein after he claimed that Mohamed Salah was ‘not world-class’.
The talkSPORT pundit stated that the Premier League and Champions League winner was a “greedy player” who misses a lot of chances, suggesting he would play Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min over him “every day of the week”.

From 165 appearances, Salah has scored 104 games and provided 42 assists in over 13,000 minutes of game time (TransferMarkt).
While the Egypt international does have his critics, manager Jurgen Klopp described him as an “outstanding” player, with Brazil legend Pele also a huge fan of his (via Goal).

Unsurprisingly, supporters rushed to Salah’s defence as they expectedly took exception to Goldstein’s comments, which one fan described as “delusional”.
Fans fume at Goldstein
doesn’t he know what World Class means, of course Salah is, there are levels, most people would say Hazard is World Class but Salah is literally on a higher level

Awful tweet that. Ignorance to the highest level. Best player in the league over the past 3 seasons clearly. Only other player who could lay claim is De Bruyne but he’s been injured so Salah takes it. No one else close.
