Mohamed Salah has been declared "one of the most disrespected players in world football" in a detailed Twitter thread.
Salah has been one of the Premier League's best players since returning in 2017 while playing a key role in Liverpool's return to dominance.
But some fans still don't rate 'The Egyptian King' and think his accomplishments are as great as they appear.
@RhysMoor on Twitter begins his thread by saying Salah is "slightly overrated," before going on to reveal it was a swerve all along.
In the 2017/18 season, he literally broke the premier league goal record for a 38 game season. He scored 32 goals (only one penalty). He also recorded 10 assists. 42 goal contributions in 36 appearances (in the PREMIER league). pic.twitter.com/WkeNOfwtJt

Salah's first season was his most prolific individually and he was a far cry from the player who flopped at Chelsea earlier in the decade.
He scored 44 goals in all competitions as Jurgen Klopp's side finished inside the top four for the second season running and reached the Champions League final.
Mo finished the 2017/18 season with 44 goals and 16 assists in all competitions. 58/60 of his goal contributions were in the league and UCL! He scored the most non-penalty goals in Europe's top 5 leagues that season and had 1.31 goal contributions per 90 mins.

The 2018/2019 campaign saw Salah win the Premier League Golden Boot and he scored the opening goal in Champions League final victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool won their first ever Premier League title last season and again Salah played a key role, scoring 19 goals in 35 appearances.
He also made an unreal assist in the semi-final of the Club World Cup which proved vital as without it, Liverpool may not have won. He also won both the golden ball and player of the tournament for the Club World Cup campaign. pic.twitter.com/8YTWjKkLME

Salah has started this 2020/2021 with five goals in four games, including a hat-trick in opening day victory over Leeds United.
