I'm not even a City fan but KDB is ahead of Lampard and Gerrard as the greatest midfielder in prem history

Cristiano: 236 matches, 103 goals, 39 assists Salah: 243 matches, 149 goals, 68 assists How in the blue hell is Salah not in a single list and CR7 is as high as #2? The lack of respect Salah gets to this day is astounding. KDB has been right up there with Salah as the best players in the Prem the last 7-8 seasons as well.

[@emman757]

accolades would also be a contributing factor which I thought was common sense

[@TheFPLScope]

@@MADCHESTERUTD-me7cu I'm not arguing that Salah is better than CR7 all time, but if you look at their Premier League careers there is no doubt Salah has been much much better. Salah's 17/18 season is also astronomical and he has kept up at an almost similar level ever since.

[@benkoj6581]

So is lampard better than gerrard?

[@TheFPLScope]

@@benkoj6581 Many would argue that, but I don't think so. Gerrard contributes in so many ways. It's easier to compare the likes of Cristiano and Salah on just the numbers, because they are primarily goalscorers, but for what it's worth, Salah has been a better distributor than Cristiano as well.
