Mo Salah has been involved in 75% (21/28) of Liverpool’s Premier League goals this season.
We’re only halfway through the season, and no one is close to Salah’s level. Some players may have good stats, but no one matches the impact he’s had this season.
He was a monster in 2017/18 and 2021/22, but back then, Liverpool also had Mane and Firmino.
This season, under Slot, whenever Liverpool were down, Salah was there to rescue them. When they were chasing, Salah stepped up.
Just give the ball to Salah, and he will do the rest. If the team fails to do that, he’ll drop and set up the ball to the plate for Diaz or Gakpo instead.
This is one of the best carry jobs we are witnessing.
