DeBruyne is and has been an amazing player. But think of the space a player can play in when he is surrounded by that kind of talent. And the manager is one of the best. There is a reason they are all putting up big numbers.

Also, there is a reason that KDB cannot be easily replaced. Because the second best creative midfielder in the EPL is probably already on the team! Silva!

And no, Salah cannot be easily replaced. Jurgen rotates a lot. And when Salah does not play, the likes of Mane, Ox, Sturridge, Firmino, Solanke, and Ings do not generate anything like what Salah does when he's on the pitch.

Look, I'm not saying that Salah is better. He's not. But saying that it's not even close is pretty silly. Salah is directly attributable (G/A) to 45% of Liverpool goals. KDB is 30%. With several guys on his team the same or close.

Coutinho is 26% and Firmino is 23%.
