The first part of John Aldridge's ECHO column reacts to Mohamed Salah's exit news and looks ahead to a huge couple of Liverpool games after the international break15:25, 30 Mar 2026Updated 15:30, 30 Mar 2026It's difficult to say something new about Mohamed Salah that hasn't already been said. And where does he rank in the club's list of all-time greats?Everyone will have their own views on that and the biggest compliment you can pay Mo is that whoever you name, he doesn't look out of place next to any of them.For me, Steven Gerrard and Sir Kenny Dalglish will always be No.1 and No.
All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageIt's going to be a hell of a send-off when that day comes in May but my worry is that the season peters out on the other side of the international break.Mo won't want that as much as anyone and there is still loads to play for once the action resumes on Saturday. It's time to go out with a bang, not a whimper.Liverpool have a massive couple of quarter-final ties to come and if the players aren't at it at either Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain then they are in real danger of being mowed down.These are two of the most difficult places to go in European football, facing Pep Guardiola's City, fresh from winning the Carabao Cup, and Paris Saint-Germain who are the Ligue 1 holders and current champions of Europe.Anything less than a proper performance from Liverpool risks them writing off their season and leaving themselves only the battle to qualify for the Champions League.
It's about medals and these lads at Anfield have the privilege of playing in front of the best club fans in football, so now is the time to show some fight.It's been a really difficult campaign but there's still a lot to chase as we head into the business end. It's time to stand up and be counted after the break.
