Mohamed Salah furious after team-mate overshadowed him against West Ham

Although it was the winning goal for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah was not happy with Darwin Nunez's goal and especially the assist from Greece's Tsimikas, who already has more assists than the Egyptian and is overshadowing him for now. The Pharaoh wants to continue to prove that he is one of the best in the world and that he can shine with the Reds in this season, which has been one of the team's ugliest in recent years.

With Liverpool having one of their weakest seasons in a long time, this caused several of their players not to feature in the statistics in all the competitions they participate in. The Champions League record battle momentarily favours Jürgen Klopp's side with Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota leading the way in attack, but when the stats become more generalised as a club, and all appearances are standardised, that is where Guardiola's side are completely superior. While Erling Haaland leads the scoring charts, it is his teammate Kevin de Bruyne who takes the assists lead.

With both institutions belonging to the Premier League, the comparisons are only between the teams that make up the league, with Kevin de Bruyne taking the momentary record for assists in all competitions with 11, still well clear of Kostas Tsimikas's five, the Greek defender adding another goal contribution in their game against West Ham United on Wednesday night.

The City attacker and Liverpool defender have proved to be among the best assisters for their teams so far, with Kevin's stats being logically superior as he occupies a position closer to goal behind Erling Haaland. On the other hand, Tsimikas has to struggle more to get into the final third of the pitch as he stays in defence longer and does not cross the midfield very often.

That a considerable share of assists come from the defensive sector is a situation that should have the Liverpool boss worried, for although Jota shone in the Champions League and both Salah and Firmino are on three assists apiece in the Premier League, his Greek-born team-mate is around the same percentage of effectiveness as a player who plays well behind them.
