Alan Shearer Praises ‘Ridiculous’ Liverpool Star after Premier League Title Win | OneFootball

Alan Shearer Applauds Mohamed Salah’s Role in Liverpool’s Premier League Triumph

Liverpool’s return to the pinnacle of English football was orchestrated with authority, precision and a renewed sense of purpose. At the heart of this campaign was Mohamed Salah, a player whose sustained excellence once again drew admiration from football’s leading voices — including Premier League legend Alan Shearer.

In Arne Slot’s first season at the helm, Liverpool did not merely reclaim the Premier League title, they did so with a style and conviction that reflected both the club’s ambition and the manager’s evolving tactical blueprint. Salah, as ever, remained a cornerstone of that success.

Shearer Highlights Salah’s “Ridiculous Consistency”

When Alan Shearer talks about goalscoring, it’s worth listening. The Premier League’s all-time top scorer was effusive in his praise for Salah, who once again posted remarkable numbers in a season that saw Liverpool lift their 20th league title.

“What a season, what a player, twenty-nine goals in the league and 18 assists,” Shearer said. “It’s just ridiculous consistency from this guy.

He very rarely misses any games and the brilliance he brings to Liverpool [is so important].

Once he gets on [his left foot] he really is deadly and he’s an incredible player.

Obviously he plays in a really good team and good teams need great players. There’s no doubt he is that and he’s been absolutely sensational.”

It is not just about volume — although 47 goal contributions in a league season is staggering. Salah delivers with reliability, demonstrating that the peak of his career is lasting longer than many dared expect.

Slot’s Impact and Salah’s Enduring Value

Slot arrived with questions. Would his high-possession style work in the Premier League? Could he manage a dressing room full of established stars? Could he deliver silverware quickly?

By May, the answers were clear. Liverpool were champions once again and Slot had not only integrated his philosophy but also convinced key players — including Salah and Virgil van Dijk — to commit to the project. Salah’s decision to extend his stay at Anfield, at a stage of his career when other options may have offered less intensity, speaks volumes about the direction the club is heading in.

Salah’s 2024–25 Campaign by the Numbers

Salah’s importance was not theoretical — it was evident in virtually every competition he featured in. Here’s how the Egyptian international contributed across the 2024–25 season:

That level of output, at 32 years of age, is not common. But Salah’s physical conditioning, combined with Liverpool’s strategic use of him, has allowed him to maintain elite performance levels.

Building for the Future Without Losing Sight of the Present

As Liverpool prepare for the 2025–26 season, eyes will naturally turn to potential arrivals. Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have been linked, and competition from rivals like Manchester City and Arsenal means the margin for error is razor thin.

Yet it would be a mistake to overlook what Liverpool already have. In Salah, they possess a player who continues to redefine what long-term excellence looks like. He is not merely surviving at the top level — he is thriving. And if Alan Shearer’s words are anything to go by, his influence is only becoming more widely recognised.

In a sport obsessed with what’s next, Salah remains a reminder that greatness doesn’t always need to be new — sometimes, it just needs to keep going.
