A lot of people tend to neglect Salah’s record against the top 6. 67G/A in 86 games is amazing.
Its crazy that this guy managed to make a fool out of City's and United's defence on such a consistent basis. Always reminds me of that Guardiola dressing room clip where he sounds like someone, who's about to face Messi
Salah is the goalscorer.. Hazard and Bale can't talk to Salah in terms of that but as a fan who just wants to see beautiful football it is Hazard all the way
@@mark91009Salah also beautiful goals more individual goals then hazard
I came into this video expecting Salah to be criminaly underrated, fair play Adam and Rory 👏
Ngl prime hazard 2014-2017 was one of the greatest wingers in PL history
@@Daniel_ss4I’m agreeing with you on that. Problem is that Salah IS the best premier league winger of all time.
@@finlayaustin4936I agree with you on Salah.
@@finlayaustin4936 At peak then yes he might be, but the best premier league winger of all time is without a doubt Ryan Giggs.
@@drSvensen😂😂 United fan? I still think is Salah having watch both players
If we’re talking about each of them at the peak of their careers, Bale easily tops the list. The guy could literally do everything. He was lighting quick, he could dribble, shoot with both feet, he was agile and acrobatic, great in the air, he had power. Prime Bale was the complete package.
for me it's salah BUTT Bale was defo the scariest player i've ever seen
@@resolute7177ever seen?!
@@Freshbloodyuno22I've seen home fans get excited when he picked up the ball in his own quarter
I mean bale best season 41 g+a salah best season 60 g+a
@@Freshbloodyuno22 you've seen scarier players than bale??
If it comes to prime Bale is clear - unplayable in a way the other two were not. Salah is defiantly the best in terms of Prem legacy and Hazard was unreal at times. Scariest player of the three was Bale in his Prime - definition of undefendable.
5 months in the backend of the 2012/2013 season was his peak. He was a beast the whole season but he delivered more endproduct the last half.
Not better than Salah in his best 6 months nor 12 months.
Bale scored 17 goals in José Spurs team in 2020/21 aged 31 yrs old and not the first choice player. That’s brilliant return.
I’m a neutral but I for sure think hazard was more unplayable
@@sloppygoo I'm not a neutral but Hazard would get man marked by the best opposition CM, full back and centre-back at the same time and yet find ways to impact the game beyond scoring or assisting.
Hazard was the whole offence for Lille and Chelsea for 8 years.
His best teammate was 1.5 years of Diego Costa, Kante and old Giroud while Salah had Prime Mane and Firmino and Bale had the Gravity of God tier Ronaldo and Benzema as well as Modric.
Arsenal and Spurs fans would shit themselves if Hazard came back to the prem even at this stage with a broken ankle.
Hazard not even good enough to play for Madrid, now he's what? Retired? Don't think any spurs or arsenal fans are scared of him. Bale was a better player than Hazard, which is why in the big games like champions league finals Bale comes on and makes the difference. Get a grip.@@shadow_realm47
Prime Eden hazard is what football is all about 🔥.
Hazard is SO underrated. Definitely best baller of this generation besides the top 2
Bale is actual football heritage. Salah is a premier league icon. Hazard is a magician with limited impact compared to the other two. It's Bale, Salah, Hazard for me, and I'm a Liverpool fan.
Bale football heritage ? salah clears
@insanerabezz99Salah has achieved more than Bale in the premier league yes, unfortunately Bales career didn’t stop in the premier league though, Bale has won more prestigious awards, more than Salah will ever achieve. And yes I’m a Liverpool fan (scouse too so a real Liverpool fan)
I agree.
Gareth Bale for me. The level of players around him weren't comparable to Hazard's or Salah's and not only did he score but helped create as well. Van Der Vaart, Adebayor, Dempsey and Defoe just aren't at the same level. I think he just had the talent to win games by himself without much help. But, in terms of output and consistency, I can't deny that Salah is at the top.
1 season wonder
Bale scored 17 goals in José Spurs team in 2020/21 aged 31 yrs old and not the first choice player. That’s brilliant return.
@@AnfieldExpress11 season??? He killed it at Madrid lad…
Modric, Lennon, Van Der Waart, Townsend, those were once good players in a way.
Van der Vaart was generally world class. Defoe was top notch as well. You can't blame Hazard and Salah for having the players around him. Salah is the best for me. Yes, he has been one third of the best trio in football, but even after that trio was broken up, he still turned up. He had a quiet season by his standards last season and still scored over 30 goals and had 15-20 assists. Bale was fantastic and in my opinion better than Hazard, who was fantastic in his own right, however, Salah is on a different level.
Bale was competing with Neymar as the 3rd best in the world when the big two were in their prime. Its him 1 and then the other two in any order depending you prefer output vs raw talent.
Bale was never near the 3rd best Suarez, Ramos, Neymar, Iniesta and Griezmann(for a time) and many more were better and more consistent
@@EoinDonnelly123 Good joke. Bale and Neymar were considered the best players outside of Messi and Ronaldo when Bale moved to Real Madrid. The season he moved there he was considered the best player outside the 2 aliens. That's why Real Madrid paid a world record fee for him. And as soon as they did they won 4 UCLs in 5 seasons.
Your revisionist history, gas lighting and own opinion makes no difference on the facts.
Tbf Salah was competing for the best in the world at one point.
@@avikellerman4539 You want facts? Bale never finished higher than 6th in the ballon dor and you’re saying he’s top 3. World Class player but the others I mentioned all better
@@EoinDonnelly123that doesn’t mean anything there’s guys who haven’t won a ballondor and is still all time greats
Salah was the key player of that Liverpool team that won UCL and Premier League.
It's pretty clear who was better at his prime.
Gareth Bale all day for me, all amazing players though to me, to Rorys point in the beginning the level of his teammates and Bale was insane, with due respect to Van Der Vaart, Adebayor and them, Chelsea and Liverpool never had any teams worse than that... His ability to just win games from anywhere, at anytime on his own was unmatched
Bale for world cup final
Hazard for a consistent 38 game season ahead of Salah because Hazard can perform regardless of manager or tactics while Salah can thrive consistently only in high pressing energetic Klopp side
I mean it’s not like Bale won the league or even got champions league with that team. I agree but it’s a bad argument. Bale is the best because he had the greatest impact on the matches he played
@@aa6eheia156Hazard was a flop at Real Madrid under Zidane and Ancelloti, you sure he can play for any manager??
@@aa6eheia156is klopp the coach of Egypt or was he the manager of Roma and fiorentina 🙄🙄🙄
That Spurs squad Bale was in was quite decent
Hazard is number one for me, he carried that Chelsea side Bale and Salah were brilliant parts of already great teams
Bale was a beast from like 2012-18! His efforts for Wales is underrated as well.
His effort for Wales is what kept him relevant while he sat on a Madrid bench. You weren’t paying attention.
@@miamitten1123 no I mean getting them to the Euros Semis
@@wayneverhoff2790 that’s still remembered.
@@miamitten1123 wasnt mentioned was it
It’s not underrated lol
i think salah will always be underrated just because one of his best abilities is how clinical he is, he may not be the best player on the pitch or he might not even touch the ball much but when it comes to making a little slip pass or if it falls to him anywhere in the box you’d back him to finish it every time and the other 2 don’t have that. I’d argue you’d actually rather have salah in ur team than hazard or bale, the other 2 could get loads of chances and make great runs but not quite score after an amazing performance whereas salah could play bad for 85 minutes then it’ll fall to him on the edge of the box and he’ll finish it.
Yeah but this isn’t who’s the better finisher it’s who’s the best player… and salah isn’t near the other two
Is that why salah in his first 3 seasons already had more big chances than Eden hazard 7 seasons at Chelsea.
@@dragonflame99k34 he plays in a system that allows for that.. mane was scoring big numbers of goals at Liverpool been shite since leaving.. hazard based on ability is ten times the player salah is
@@Luke-jd7rfmane literally had two mediocre seasons at Liverpool, Salah hasn’t even had a mediocre run of games. 6 Premier League seasons in a row, Hazard has absolutely nothing on that, couldn’t lace Salah’s boots. There’s levels
@@realliam6513 not at all after the African cup of nations on your run in to the quadruple or the season before that he went 16 games with 1 goal 😂 he’s a world class finisher but he’s not near the level of footballer as the other 2👍🏻 football is more than stats
It’s got to be Salah, the consistency that he has shown since he came to the Prem is mind blowing. And then Second is Bale cause he was unstoppable at Spurs, the bangers he scored were unbelievable and he was also part of one of if not the best trios ever with Cristiano and Benzema
Bale reached a higher peak in a side half filled with mid table players at best, what he did at the san siro at that age surpasses anything the other two did
and what he did in the UCL final AGAINST LIVERPOOL! Bales peak is way above any of the other 2 players. HOWEVER Salahs consistency over years and years is better.@@trtvitor1385
Salah hit 150 goals for Liverpool quicker than Henry for Arsenal but Buvey thinks Bale outscores that rate? Madness.
Bale used to come from substitute while salah was a starter
@@HasanKamran-cm8xqbro he said starter not striker
He just hates him. It is as simple as that.😅 But Salah is people's champion.😎💪
Salah’s record breaking season was 17/18, by that point Bale was declining at Madrid, injuries were getting to him. He scored that iconic goal in the ucl final but he doesn’t do what Salah does for Liverpool that year. If you’re basing this on their best seasons in the prem then it’s Salah (17/18) 1st, then Bale (12/13) and Hazard (18/19) are fighting for 2nd place.
Best Bale season is definitely 13/14 - 22G + 19A including winning goals in CL and Copa Del Rey finals.
@@cenekcapek brother, we’re discussing their best seasons in the premier league. 12/13 was Bale’s best premier league season.
@@r.i.psteez929 My bad! In this case I agree 😊
12/13 bale is better than 17/18 salah
We're not discussing just PL seasons though are we? Cause if that's the case Ronaldo only had 1 good year, fairly average player then no? Bales Prime was 13/14. He did more in UCL finals than Salah's done for Liverpool as a whole.@@r.i.psteez929
Was ready for Rory's 'pure footballing ability' defence of Hazard, was not dissapointed.....
Bale would be first for pure footballing ability
@@BIackSheep9 absolutely not, bale had the power, speed and strength over salah and hazard. but hazards 1st touch, dribbling, vision, playmaking is better than bales
@@adambassuni6084disagree, that season where Bale played in the hole for spurs was his best and he showed incredible technique. It’s disingenuous to reduce his abilities to purely athletic.
@@adambassuni6084are power speed and strength not footballing abilities? Bale also had the best aerial ability, shot and free kick abilities of the 3
@@celtic69 Hazard could do things with the ball at his feet that Bale couldn't even dream of. With Bale in his peak, it was mainly the pace, power and shooting. Hazard was by far the better dribbler, passer and playmaker. His skillset is on par with Neymar and they are the only two players from this generation that can even hold a candle to the alien that is Messi when it comes to pure footballing ability.
All fantastic players
But Salah for me just edges it the level of consistency , durability ( rarely Misses games due to injuries) , he not even a number 9 so the numbers look even more ridiculous goals and assists i think his assists record is also doesn’t get spoken about enough
I think it also depends what you
Want from your winger creativity it hazard but for both goal and assists Bale and Salah more natural argument
Bale...best player in Premier League for 2 out of 3 years and took it to another level with Real Madeid
"took it to another level with real Madrid"
So many people say BS like this and they all expose themselves for not actually following bale's RM career. He scored great goals In a CL and Copa del Rey final (and a big goal in his first CL final) but his actual week to week performances for RM were not even CLOSE... to his prime spurs days. Anyone who actually followed him at both spurs and RM knows that's not even remotely debatable.
Genuinely, for as good as Bale was at Spurs, his RM career is INSANELY overrated (especially given he cost a world record fee which was more than CR7's). It was underwhelming but punctuated with some iconic moments which is all the British people remember. There is a reason he didn't even start 3 of the 5 CL finals...
He wasn’t the best player in the premier for 2-3yrs. How so when Suarez etc were there
Salah has been the best winger in the Prem for 6 years straight... breaking records and delivering Liverpool every trophy available. Bale never won anything with Tottenham.
Bale was not best for 2 to 3 years he had 1 good season before Madrid mate
@@justalostcause4425 PFA Players' Player of the Year 2010-2011, 2012-2013
Can always trust Rory to make up his own question to fit his answer.
Salahs work ethic sets him apart from the other two.
I’d argue both bale and hazard have more natural ability but nothing can contest Salahs drive to be the best.
Bale is without a doubt is the most gifted. He can finish in tight spaces, he can rise above defender finish in the air, finish form long range, score a FK, he can finish is finesse and power or whip in a cross.
Standing at 6’1 and 180 lbs that’s the dimensions of a striker and but played on the wing because he was one of the fastest footballers ever in his prime.
He’s also the most CLUTCH and scrutinized.
That's why he prefered a "hole in one".
Actually I think Hazard is by far the most gifted.. and also the least dedicated
@@akeemguy7331 he was only more gifted in drinking imo. Bale’s shooting, pace, vertical, and vertical. Hazard doesn’t come close.
Hazard being so small really was a weakness of his.
@@wayneverhoff2790 nah.. Hazard was the most talented of the three..
Bale and Salah worked harder to reach their best..
@@akeemguy7331 are you only saying that because he didn’t try 😂 that doesn’t mean he would ever reach the potential of either lol.
I think of Hazard in a similar way I think of Ronaldinho (not on quality, just feelings). Whereby, your first thought isn't statistics, it isn't trophies, it isn't contribution to a team or league, it is just purely, how they made you feel when you watched them. For me at least, they are two players, that just made me love the game more than anyone, absolute magicians on the ball.
hazard was an absolute delight to watch tbh. i hate chelsea with my guts, but damn i loved watching him play. unfortunately he didn't live up to his hype later, and numbers wise salah wins
@@Chirag_Arikella yeh its hard with Hazard or Neymar type of player, just getting snapped up 10 times every game. Plus Hazard was carrying Lille to Ligue 1 at 18 years old, so peaked a lot earlier. But I agree, as an all round player, Salah's numbers are undeniable.
Agreed with the Bale take at the very end there. Guys don’t let recency bias obscure your judgement. Bale was an untamable beast in his prime
Bale is one of the few players who’s goals make me laugh 😂. Henry, Matt Le Tissier and that Cissie-Newcastle goal have been able to do that.
Brother, Gareth Bale during his first 3-4 seasons at Real Madrid was an absolute animal, he was virtually unstoppable and would’ve scored 30-40 a season easy if not for the machine Ronaldo was
buddha woulda coulda shoulda...
lol .. never
@@SacredFlapsProductions hazard and salah woulda coulda shoulda won 4 CL trophies but...
Before that, he was Premier League footballer of the year 2 out of 3 seasons
Bale scored 20 goals a season only TWICE in his career.
If salah plays next year at the top level (and it looks like he will), he will have matched david beckhams active years in the united XI whilst at liverpool. Whilst only henry has matched him in the PL era for 20 goals and 10 assists in a season (both done it twice, salah was one goal away from doing it again last year).
The cajones on these guys to have this conversation.
This is about prime, not longevity.
@@YeTism1) it might be titled that, but its obviously not. Did hazard play with remy or costa in his prime? 2) in his prime, salah still has the record for most open play goals in a season. Even haaland last year couldnt match it
This about who’s the best player not the best finisher as a footballer on a technical level salah is miles off the other two
Mate bale is so far better than salah that it’s a joke ,it isn’t about who got better stats it’s about who ‘s the better player
@@101notfound17bro have you not realised than no one can say something good about salah without bringing up his stats 😂
Great goalscorer but technically he’s above average at best
"Bale had to work so hard to get to where he was" 😂😂 salah had to do a 5 hour bus trip consistently in Egypt as a child
Let’s be honest ever player mentions the Hazards for a reason he was so effortless and beautiful, just like the Ronaldinho’s of the world. Bale was just out of this world pace, dibbling and strength scary but elegant. Salah was just the man, who else to turn to at the end of the game, the man who you can always depend on.
I think because Bale and Salah are such similar players that you have to compare with G A, and Salah's stats are superior.
However, Eden Hazard was a different player, who was a playmaker and a tricky winger a bit like a midfielder (similar to Bernardo Silva) so you cannot compare him with G A, the ability to just glide and dribble past players
Ousmane Dembele can glide through players, on that basis he should be in the conversation
Bale is so much clear of Salah it’s crazy
Salah all day.His goals and assists says it all,his fitness is unrivalled.
Gareth Bale was a machine, so fast and strong and had an insane strike and power. Nothing was scarier.
Hazard played with prime Costa, dont leave that out. There were goals Bale scored in 12/13, where it was basically his teammates giving him the ball from like the centre circle and expecting him to do something with it.
Bro he had his best season with Giroud up top
Objectively:
Salah had the best prime. He peaked higher than Bale and Hazard
Hazard in his prime season in the PL:
14 goals, 10 assists.
In the CL: 3 goals and 3 assists.
Salah in his prime season in the PL:
32 goals, 11 assists
In the CL: 10 goals, 5 assists
Bale's prime season in the PL:
21 goals, 8 assists
In the CL..... Played Europa League.
In his best Real season he had 15 goals and 13 assists in La Liga.
In the CL: 6 goals and 4 assists.
Subjectively you can enjoy Hazard's dribbles more and like Bale's runs and spectacular clutch goals. But when you look at the numbers, Salah peaked higher in his prime. While next to having the better prime he also stayed the most consistent. This debate shouldn't even be a debate.
Btw:
Bale stats are from 12/13 + 13/14
Salah stats are from 17/18
Hazard stats are from 14/15
more fun stats:
Their goal and assist ratio per game throughout their career:
Hazard
0.26 & 0.25
Bale:
0.33 & 0.24
Salah:
0.47 & 0.24
And just fun to compare with Messi:
Messi's goal ratio is 0.81
Messi's assist ratio is 0.38
C. Ronaldo: 0.74 & 0.23
Bale, Salah and Hazard are all better assisters than Ronaldo. But none of them come close to Messi goal wise per game or assist wise per game.
Stats nerds is the worst thing that ever happened to football
go watch how impactful hazard is vs salah, stat merchant
Braindead morons allergic to hard facts. As if goals and assists are a new type of stats. Acting like I'm talking about xG or heatmaps. Literally hard facts of who scored the most and impacted his team the most with assists. Literally 2 most basic and most important things in football. Scoring goals and helping other players to score.
Salah been different gravy since he was at Roma always shows up in big games, best numbers out of all 3 it’s gotta be him
Bale is the only guy in history to rob himself by scoring a goal. Everyone talks about Karius in that final, but if Bale hadn't taken a shot then his goal before that would be the most iconic Champions League winner ever.
It still is if you ask me, rivaled only by Zidane's volley.
@@Gunner4life34 Agreed
I just remember screaming at my TV at Zidane when bale wasn't on, then he came on and scored two in five minutes, best champions league performance ever.
@@loganwilliams7635 I wont go that far to say it's the best performance ever..
@@akeemguy7331scoring the greatest bicycle kick in the history of finals, not to mention 5 minutes after coming off the bench is easily the greatest
I actually think this is the most reasonable video/conversation I've watched you all have. No clickbait comments, just good conversation. I do like most of your videos but this to me is the best
Aside from their medals, attributes and output
1. Bale (Single handedly carried mediocre spurs team from 2011-2013 and wales to euro 2016 semis on his own)
2. Hazard (Single handedly carried Chelsea in the title winning 2014/15 season on his own, internationally he was in Belgium's golden generation)
3. Salah (in great Klopp's team, single handedly brought Egypt to the world cup in 2018)
Salah is the best. Year on year consistency. Big game goals over and over again.
Hazard could have been truely world class. Scored outrageous goals. Incredible skill n dribbling. But he downed tools for entire seasons.
Bale was special and a real game changer for a while he was among the very best. He chose to sit on bench or play golf during what should have been the peak of his career.
Bale is and always will be a better footballer than salah
Big game goals 😂😂😂
@@Luke-jd7rfbro had like 3 good season in his career, the rest he was playing golf.
@@Azlan_77u and in all of them he’s been a better footballer than salah will ever be
Hazard was world class mate, during his entire Chelsea career barring 15-16 you could count him among the absolute best players in world football.
At their best its Bale. The man at his best was in the same league as Neymar (widely considered the 3rd best after Messi and Ronaldo).
Salah v Hazard is a preference between production and natural talent for me.
Salah vs Hazard is the Gerrard vs Lampard debate of this era.
I'm biased so I like Hazard and Lampard more 🙊
@@shadow_realm47 if anything Hazard is more like Gerrard and Salah like Lampard.
Lampard and Salah have the production and attacking output and consistency whereas Gerrard and Hazard are the complete packages in their roles and will a team forward.
I really don’t think Bale was considered as good as Neymar, in fact most people considered the MSN trio to be better than both the Bs in the BBC trio.
@@muhammadlee- Benzema I'm not arguing but Bale was always injured. It also comes down to MSN winning a treble I think.
@@De3dSh0t Unfortunately being injured is an important part towards how players are judged, him being injured all the time severely impacted the impression people had of him and how productive he was as a player.
To be honest I don’t think the treble caused people to think of MSN as better, becasue don’t forget BBC also got a UCL three-peat, which is probably more impressive. The main reason I think people considered them better was because Neymar had so much natural talent, in fact he was probably the second most naturally talented player during his career. Suarez was considered better because what he did at Liverpool and his absolutely crazy numbers and being the only one to out score Messi and Ronaldo during the reign of dominance. Lastly, Messi is Messi.
Bale no questions as he was a forward, a 10, a winger left back, attacking midfielder.EVERYTHING.
I like that they only mentioned pl Bale, and not Madrid bale 😂 it would be such a different conversation
you mean where he won everything and scored two of the best cup final goals ever?
Naah Bale deserves credit for those Madrid achievements too.
Gareth Bale was a totally different animal .
He was strong , he was fast , he had some ridiculous left foot , shooting from outside the box .
I love Mo , he's been the main guy for us at LFC and look at the numbers and the time period , it's his 6th season and although did not got his match day 1 goal , but he looked menacing.
Hazard technically you cannot get any better , ball on his feet looked way better . You cannot describe in words how beautiful he made football look .
Heart says Mo but brain says Bale
Benched in 2017 in big games as well in 2018. Mid 2016 & 2015. 2014 quality. 2018 had one good moment getting subbed in final against shit keeper 😂
Hazard was unbelievable but he’s definitely third on this list. Salah vs Bale is a tough one. For the big moments it’s Bale but Salah’s consistency is absolutely ridiculous. I agree with Buveys argument in a one off game it’s Bale for me, but I think overall ranking it’s Salah, Bale, Hazard.
Gareth Bale all day long... He started as a LB for spurs scoring a hat trick against Inter!
Salah in his prime was robbed off balon d'or via Ramos injury. End of debate.
Lmfao 🤣
Looool😭
It’s not fair to compare Hazard to Bale and Salah.
Different types of player.
Bale and Salah spent their careers on the shoulder waiting for a midfielder to pass it in behind and scored a bunch of goals for it.
Hazard spent his career dropping into t midfield, sometimes to the halfway line and dribbling it through the opponents team, naturally he didn’t score as much, but people will still say because Salah and Bale score more it means they are better.
This. He would beat a central midfielder a full back and a centre-back in one stroke.
While carrying the offence.
Bale and Salah had the Gravity of Ronaldo and Mane on the opposite flank AND they had CF like Benzema and Firmino who would drop back to create space.
Football is a team game Hazard was the most unique of the three.
Bale all day long, he was on another level
Salah all day. End of debate. His record speaks for itself
Bale played with a very average spurs team under AVB during his prime with spurs, it was the most unbelievable individual season I’ve seen from a player. He scored every type of goal, and clutched up in big moments, he was so hungry and passionate, I’m a spurs fan and I might be biased but he was the most fun to watch of the three, Hazard I will admit is a close second
it was nba-esque, players give him the ball and expect magic. thts literally the tactic
Salah, Bale, Hazard in that order
It’s Bale by far Lmfao. This isn’t even a debate
Salah turned into Messi Ronaldo level at 2018. The other 2 never reached those levels. Plus Salah did it for longer.
No, he didn't. He scored goals and that's all. Hazard was a better player.
Anyone putting Hazard higher than 3rd needs to seek help.
Facts bro
Rory saying Chelsea’s strikers were worse than spurs’ aswell literally completely left out Diego Costa 😂
Amen.
@@o.d4556 Higuain man😑

Salah’s numbers aren’t achievable by the other two. Hazard could never recreate Bale’s moments.
do you think bale can recreate hazard effortlessly dribbling half liverpool squad goal?
Bale and i didn't need to think about it for more than a second
"One of the best nights at Stamford Bridge of my life" - Rory, not talking about Chelsea winning the league, talking about stopping Spurs from winning the league. Just absolutely rent free.
We’re witnessing a living legend of the prem right now with salah and it’s sad people won’t give him his flowers till he retires
I disagree, I don't know anyone who doesn't think Salah is an unbelievable player. But to your point, I think in the madness of the Prem drama week to week he can get overlooked momentarily unless he scores a brilliant goal etc or he is in a big match.
hes the most disrespected player of our gen period@@Lioness_UTV
Shocked most of the comments are saying Bale, Salah is miles ahead of both of them. Deffo Bale over Hazard, the Real Madrid spells are a good indicator of that but Salah has been ridiculously consistent for years now, not even a close debate.

Salah I've never really paid attention to. That might sound weird, but I really only just focus on United and maybe see the odd match with other teams evey now and then.
Back when Suarez, Hazard and Bale were around I was watching most matches, so I saw them and what they were doing. Think I was still watching Match of the Day back then too.
Dark magic is right, and I agree that I've never felt that with Salah. He's more the beneficiary of that incredible Liverpool system which is designed to get the best out of him. I think Hazard, Bale and Suarez were just magicians who could have done what they did in any team. Whereas if you put that version of Salah in a Spurs team for example he doesn't get anywhere near those numbers
@@CaelanDafydd Isak is one that gives me the same feelings as Hazard and Suarez did. See how he progresses
Suarez is massive.
Haven’t even watched it yet but already know Rory is gonna put up a stupid argument for Hazard. Salah > Bale > Hazard in that order.
Hazard comfortably 3rd. No debate.
as an arsenal fan i was never afraid of bale or salah but when hazard was in the mood to play he was unplayable and is with neymar the closest thing i have seen to messi. sure bale and salah have better numbers but hazard played a different role and is by far the best footballer out of those 3.
@@dasurmel1424salah scores literally every time he plays arsenal you melt🤣
that wasn't his point you melt. Tbh there's a reason why everyone looks at "prime hazard" as one of greatest the prem has ever seen. In terms of longevity, he's the worst but in terms of natural talent he's top. @@adzie2000
@@dasurmel1424deluded mate all three used to cause us problems especially salah. Hazard we shut down more time in games but out of the three Bale is best
Finally, Mohamed Salah got the praise he deserved.
i might be wrong but pretty sure hazard and bale never got more than 20 league goals in a season and never scored many in the UCL, Salah has scored over 30 prem goals in his best year and has barely had a season with less than 20 league goals, he also gets more assists than the other 2 and has more UCL goals i’m pretty sure. Yes u could argue as a player he’s not as dazzling but for the role he’s told to play in he’s second to only messi in the last decade
Bale has scored in CL finals and scored 21 league goals in his last season at Spurs. Hazard scored 20 league goals in his final Lille season. His best was 16 league goals at Chelsea.
Also Salah has more UCL goals than the two combined
So does that mean Lampard is better than Gerrard?
Hazard isn't a goal scorer, he's a creator.
Yeah but Hazard has the most motm behind Messi and Ronaldo in his primetime days.
Bale was never better than Ronaldo no matter what he did.
But Salah and Hazard were considered equal to Messi for a few months in 2018/19.
Bale and its not a question, but also this was the best convo you all have had so far, actually like your thoughts when its not just performative wind up bullshit.
If we are all honest “prime” debate was added so hazard wasn’t blown out of the water
??? The only guy to lead his team to league titles.
To every stat merchants who only look at goals.Ok since you like stats.Salah had more big chances missed in his first 3 season for Liverpool than Hazard in his 7 seasons.Hazard literally shits on salah when it comes to chances created,big chances created,dribbles ,most fouled player,assists.Hazard basically hasn’t played since 2018/2019 and he’s is still top 3 in motm behind messi and Ronaldo
.Salah only has more goals because of where he is an inside forward.Hazard literally had to come back to lb position to collect the ball and drive forward
if you actually looked up there heat maps you see hazard and salah played the same exact position
PLUS you're ignoring the fact hazard was playing as a striker for a good amount of time LMAOO
barely ever played as an out and out striker what nonsense@@resolute7177
For getting Wales to multiple international tournaments after they hadn’t been to any in 50+ yrs and winning 5 UCLs it has to be Bale
Lads, just put the Super 6 plug at the start. It's very jarring when the conversation just stops randomly for an ad.
Buveys facial expressions have me dying 😂
Bale had the highest peak imho, it just didn't last as long.
Bale
Salah
Hazard
he did last a long time tho longer then salah tbf and hazzard maybe
Just talking of their time in the Premier League it is Salah, Hazard, Bale. Over the course of their whole career or at their prime Bale, Salah, Hazard
Salah got the best prime, Bale had the best shooting and Hazard had the best dribbling but Salah had it all whilst scoring Ronaldo numbers and getting Messi assists.
1. Salah
2. Hazard
3. Bale
Bro just admitted he only started watching football the last few years, bale is clear 1 in this list
@@Mana-vv6vp🤣🤣 just because he scored bangers? Salah was scoring every game and doing defence splitting passes.
@@nabz5538 not all about numbers, Bale at his best was unbelievable, his passing was definitely better than Salah at his best.
@@bobf1267 Salah's passing was definitely better and numbers win you games, but the fact that Salah was getting numbers and bullying defences is what made him great.
Messi assists??? Are you kidding me And Ronaldo have more assists than salah
Has Rory just completely forgotten about prime Diego Costa?
My thoughts exactly 🤣
Yes when hazard actually had a good striker by him he won 2 premier leagues in 3 and was the best player in both those league titles so you just backed his point 😂😂😂
Salah clears all of them ngl
Ridiculous, Bale’s peak is well clear
@@Spiresbeyond I think people only say that because Bale passed the eye test better than the other two at his peak, with his explosive pace and ability to smash them in from distance - in terms of consistency and output in their peak, Salah is top
@@devonarcher9076eye test is a factor though. Which player would you pay to watch? Which one gets you off your seat the most? For those questions it’s bale and hazard. Obviously Salah is the better goal scorer. So many ways to look at it.
Buvey said it perfectly. You want one player in their prime and you have one very important game to play, who would you have? It's Bale. period.
Bale, Salah, Hazard in that order.
Bale because of all the accolades he won, the player that he was. I don't agree with Buvey usually, but Bale was miles ahead of those two in his prime.
Salah was at his peak but he edges it because of his longevity. Scoring 20+ goals every season since he came to Liverpool is mad.
Hazard was such a raw talent, but if like Rory said, if he dedicated himself to football, he would probably top this list.
Bale is number 1 quite easily
Salah is the most disrespected player in the league.
He has 42, 30, 29, 27, 36 and 31 G+A in 6 seasons in the premier league!
Those are Top 5 players in the Ballon dor shortlist numbers
Big moment = take bale
Consistency = take salah
Failed to live up to potential = hazard
Hazard could have been better then both but wasn't
He was better than both. Especially Salad. Bale and Hazard shouldn't be in the same convo as that dusty baller.
@@Me-gs3uu 💀💀💀 he definitely wasn't better then both 🤣🤣 that's why hazards 3rd on most people's lists .....he's a failure
Liverpool´s tactic was based on Mo Salah. Period. Gareth Bale is just number 1. In a team with CR7 were everything is all about CR7 and still have some iconic moments more than Hazard and Mo Salah is just crazy.
Bale … end of discussion 👍⚽️
It’s
1. Bale
2. Salah
3. Hazard
The only right answer, if we are speaking in terms who had the best career
It’s salah, he’s always getting overlooked. The consistency is on another level!
World class finisher in a system that’s allows him to play that way.. technically he’s not near the level of the other two
@@Luke-jd7rfSalah‘s technical abilities are actually really underrated.
Probably one of the best players in terms of first touch. The way he can control the ball from high passes and crosses at full speed is top notch. Also he is really good with the outside of his foot. Had a lot of Qaresma like crosses.
Dribblings ability is equal to prime Hazard. Bale tops the list in terms of speed. But Salah is way faster than Hazard
@@dave-ld8mo dribbling ability equal to prime hazard 😂 get off the drugs mate
@@Luke-jd7rf😂😂😂 shockin statement
@@aj6725 just a fucking fact
It’s such a shame to see how bale and Hazard’s careers ended. On their day those two were truly magic. Should’ve gone down as true legends and some of the best to ever do it.
Hazard was deffo the most entertaining player.
Fair play to Salah, written off by Chelsea and went on to carve out a legendary career and is still doing it. He’s also consistently had an amazing team around him so he’s number have definitely been helped by others delivering off the back of assists etc.
bale, salah, hazard imo. I remember being in school when Bale was doing bits for spurs. I'm a Liverpool fan, most of my mates were Newcastle fans, yet we were all in awe of what Bale was doing every week.
he only one class season for Tottenham and one decent
@@owenthompson5214 he also only has 5 CL trophies and 3 CL final goals... not that it matters that hes also led the welsh to their first world cup in 50+ years
Eden Hazard’s prime was the 2018 World Cup in Russia (remember the game vs. Brazil?) where he also won the Silver Boot! (was 2nd only to Modric, and even that was kinda debatable)
You can argue between Bale and Hazard but Buvey to say Bale would score 40 EPL goals in a season in that Liverpool team is ridiculous. Salah 1st and Bale and Hazard have a mid-off for 2-3
Of course!! Bale would have scored more than 40 EPL goals in a season in that team. What are you on about!!
Bale is several country miles better than Salah
@@kolaade1275ur on crack mate
Chelsea have added Nottingham Forest and Wales forward Brennan Johnson to their list of attacking targets and have held initial talks with the 22-year-old
Bale so far ahead of the two
Genuinely I don’t understand how the human eye can watch all three of these players in their prime and say hazard isn’t the best.
It’s genuinely not close. Hazard just in terms of individual brilliance is only comparable to Messi.
If people measure him statistically they are either 12 years old or know nothing about football.
being the most enjoyable to watch doesn't make u the best
Let’s put it this way Hazard should’ve been the best out of the 3 but I think somewhere the love died
Bale had the best prime season and achievement of 3peat UCL
But if we’re talking about consistency and keeping levels elite year in and out it’s Salah for me!
I’m even a united fan, imo Salah is the best right winger ever in the epl
Not Ronaldo? Really?
@@shadow_realm47 Ronaldo is a different level, he's played right wing, left Wing and st.
Especially the 07/08 season where Ronaldo was primarily on the left while tevez would move into the right pockets.
Feels unfair to bring Ronaldo into winger debates
Salah: Best output in goals & assists
Bale: Best athlete (among the 3)
Hazard: Best entertainer, pure talent
How did Hazard get an invite to this table 💀💀
Madrid Hazard has altered you memory of him - he was excellent at Chelsea for 7 seasons. Deserves to be at least discussed
For the 2010s decade, no other player in the PL has more MOTM performances than Hazard
for consistently being one of the best players in the league for a decade
Even as a United fan Salah’s prime premier league career is better than both of theirs. I won’t hear Hazard at 1 after he took the 2015/16 season off.
Salah hands down the best
Bale > Salah > Hazard
I've got Bale as #1 because of his ability over Salah to score goals in finals. Hazard had seasons where he did very little so he is a distant third.
Prime Salah easily, Prime Hazard didn't really put the numbers it's just typical Hazard, Prime Bale was so electric, so Good he convinced Florentino Perez to battle with Daniel Levy just to secure his signature, next thing you know he's leaving Bartra in the dust to score the Winner in the Copa Del Rey final..
For numbers and the best overall it's got to be Salah. On the eye-test and excitement to watch, Bale was captivating!
