The one with Liverpool’s biggest contribution in attack
According to data from The Athletic, Mohamed Salah has accounted for 38% of Liverpool’s goals in the Premier League this season. Only Chris Wood including Nottingham Forest (42%) and Erling Haaland with Manchester City (44%) they contribute more than the Egyptian. At the red club, Luis Díaz, Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold followed in Salah’s footsteps with more involvement in the goal. Furthermore, I didn’t attend more because I was more creative, but that His teammates were better than on other occasions.
Beat Thierry Henry and Agüero, the next goal
After scoring against West Ham, Salah added 174 Premier League goals and only one goal away from 175 of great Thierry Henry as the seventh leading scorer in Premier history. It is not unreasonable to think that during this same period he was also superior Kun Aguero (184) as All-time top foreign scorer in the Premier League.
The secret?
It’s not a secret as such, but obviously existence It helps to increase the numbers. Salah has not missed a single league match this season. Slot has always relied on him and could have done so had he not been injured, but no doubt it will help that there is no Africa Cup next year. Furthermore, with the pressure of the team, the Egyptian is less likely to drop to the wing and that task is on Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold or whoever plays in those positions. An interesting release of fatigue.
Your future, up in the air
It seems incredible that after all these statistics and records, Liverpool still haven’t reached a renewal agreement with Mo Salah. The latest statement of the Egyptian suggests that he will go for a long time, but it is clear that at least he will earn asking to be offered a contract at his level. And it goes without saying that his season will be more historical if finally the Liverpool it’s a win Premier League.
