00:00 Everton's aims at the start of the season were looking rather dim, just to maintain
00:06 their top flight status under boss Sean Dyche, who'd managed to keep them up after taking
00:11 over in January from Frank Lampard. The Toffees had struggled immensely on their travels in
00:17 the Premier League with their last three managers, but after another delightful display away
00:22 from home, much changed in Dyche's side.
00:26 Everton have come off the back of a fantastic win away at Crystal Palace. You said that
00:35 Everton can go there and get a result. Why did you think that? On paper, this is a tough
00:41 place to go, but Everton's away form has been nothing short of remarkable so far this season.
00:47 It has, and I think they're up to fifth in the away form table, to be honest with you,
00:57 now with that win against Palace. Sean Dyche said that he doesn't think it's just the away
00:59 form, he thinks that Everton haven't had a result to go through at home. At times this
01:03 season you think back to those games against Fulham and Wolves, and even the first half
01:09 an hour against Luton, where they got beaten. Sean Dyche's form has been better, but I just
01:15 think away from home it suits Everton a little bit more to be on the back foot, allow the
01:20 other team to have possession and really hit teams on the counter-attack. It shows that
01:25 the form is turning for Everton, and if they get the home and away form right, then they're
01:31 going to be a side who are looking up rather than down.
01:36 Now a look at Liverpool, and for a club that's filled with all-time greats in the game, as
01:42 Mohamed Salah continues to break more club and league records. Where does he sit in the
01:47 debate for the Reds' greatest ever Premier League player?
01:53 It's getting hard to dispute that. I think everyone points towards Steven Gerrard as
01:57 being that, given he was the captain for how many years, inspired Liverpool to Champions
02:03 League glory. But he never won a Premier League title with Liverpool, fell short on a few
02:08 occasions, finishing second, and obviously Mohamed Salah's got that feat. He just seems
02:13 to be breaking records after every week. Again, it's between him and Steven Gerrard. I think
02:19 there will be a bit of a debate around that, but you think of the others being the likes
02:23 of Luis Suarez, who's absolutely mesmerised, but wasn't at Liverpool for all that long.
02:30 Robbie Fiald, obviously up there, likes Jamie Carragher as well, great servant of the club.
02:35 But yes, it's definitely between Mohamed Salah and Steven Gerrard. If Mohamed Salah
02:39 spends a few more years at Anfield and wins potentially another Premier League trophy,
02:44 then it might not be a debate anymore.
02:49 As Jurgen Klopp's side ignored late interests from Saudi Arabia in the summer to keep their
02:55 main man, he's certainly proving worth it so far, as the Reds are suddenly looking likely
03:00 again to challenge for the title.
