Former Watford striker Troy Deeney argued that Mohamed Salah is not a world-class player.
"I think we always get caught up in the moment, as well, so I would look at the Everton game," Deeney said on talkSPORT.
"A massive derby that's the one game Liverpool fans don't want to lose. And when it was 2-1, 5,6 minutes left, there's a few balls that were dropping in the box and you're thinking, go on, put your foot through it and he (Salah) did leave the toe out a bit like he didn't want to get injured.
"I just feel like, is he overrated? That's very difficult.
"I don't think he's overrated at all because he scores a lot of goals. I think it's more about opinion, isn't it? What you like to look at in wide players.
"Again I don't think he's world-class, I think he's exceptionally good. I think he's in that tier just below world-class, but I think world-class is only reserved for one or two in that position."
Incredibly, after years of consistently performing at an elite level, Salah's credentials as a world-class players are still doubted.
Playing off the wing, he has become the fifth-best goalscorer in Liverpool's history. This season, in a down year, Salah is the best scorer and the joint-top assist provider for the Reds, despite missing months with an injury.
