​Liverpool legend Aldridge: Salah season outdoes Suarez

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge believes Mohamed Salah is having a better season than Luis Suarez in 2013/14.

The Egyptian has eclipsed Suarez's total number of goals for the season in March, with his four-goal haul against Watford last weekend taking his tally up to 36 goals.

"You run out of superlatives trying to describe the brilliance of Mohamed Salah," Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.

"His performance against Watford on Saturday was remarkable. It was one of those games where I didn't actually think we played particularly well.

"On most other occasions it probably would have been a routine 2-0 win but Salah just took us to a different level. The biggest compliment I can pay him is that he reminds me of Luis Suarez in 2013-14.

"There are also shades of Lionel Messi with his movement and the way he humiliates defenders.

"Suarez produced the best season I've ever seen from a Liverpool striker. He created a lot of goals for himself out of nothing, but I think what Salah has done this season outdoes Suarez."
