James Pearce and Oliver Kay join Tony Evans to unpack a calmer Anfield afternoon that still carried big implications. They assess Salah’s impact off the bench, his historic 277th goal involvement for the club — surpassing Wayne Rooney’s record — and what his role against Brighton tells us as he departs for AFCON.
Was this a pause in the saga… or the beginning of the end?
The conversation then turns bigger and deeper. The panel debate the difference between being a Liverpool legend and leaving a lasting legacy. Is on-pitch brilliance enough? What really defines an all-time great at this club? And how do Salah’s eight years at Anfield compare to figures like Dalglish, Fowler, Gerrard, Suárez & Henderson?
