Mohamed Salah provoked anger from Liverpool legend

After Mohamed Salah's great year with Liverpool in the 2021-2022 season, expectations were high that the Egypt international would continue in the same vein even with Sadio Mane's departure, but the reality is that the Reds' number 11 dropped considerably to the point that he came in for a lot of criticism for his low effectiveness in front of goal.

Even with the problems that the "Pharaoh" has presented in these games with Liverpool, the striker has tried to rebuild his way during this month of October, achieving a few days ago a hat-trick against Rangers that was worth to break the record of being the Premier League player with more goals in the European competition, as well as the Egyptian became the player to score the fastest hat-trick in the Champions League.

Those goals had a big influence on the Anfield striker's mood, as after that game he was also able to move the net against Manchester City, adding one more goal to his tally, which has now reached the incredible figure of 121 goals for Liverpool, surpassing Steven Gerrard with whom he was tied on 120 goals. The Egyptian now ranks as the second highest goalscorer in the team's history, just seven goals behind Robbie Fowler.

Undoubtedly the Egyptian player will be looking to continue to write his name everywhere as a Liverpool player, as with a long Premier League season ahead of him, the striker only needs seven goals to tie Fowler's record of 128 goals. Salah now has seven games left to go before next year's campaign gets underway.

The current Reds star was ranked as the fifth best player in the race for the golden ball a few hours ago, a position that serves as an extra motivator for him to try to achieve his goals at Anfield. His next chance to get close to that club record will come in the third week of October when Jurgen Klopp's side play away twice, first against West Ham and then Nottingham Forest.
