Proof that Mo Salah is still one of the best in Europe

Despite not having the best of starts both individually and collectively, the current Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah, continues to demonstrate in some areas that his quality remains intact by constantly contributing to the attack, the Egyptian being the player in the top 5 European leagues with the best numbers when it comes to creating scoring opportunities, this constant insistence being overshadowed by an offense that has taken little advantage of these insinuations.

Every time "Mo" has failed to score or assist in a game, social media users and Reds fans have been quick to show their discontent with either the player or the team itself, always bringing up the argument of Sadio Mané and his sale to Bayern Munich as being responsible for the crisis of both the institution and its star player, as the Senegalese's goals provided the points that the Anfield side needed, while Salah's contribution was in statistical matters that stood out from the rest of the European players.

Mohamed Salah no longer untouchable for Jürgen Klopp

Luis Díaz is one of the best in the Premier League and this statistic proves it

After six Premier League games, the Reds' number 11 is a long way off the scoring chart, which is being devoured game after game by Manchester City's new signing Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian's 10 goals a far cry from the Egyptian's two, but in the statistics where Salah has no competition whatsoever is in scoring chances created, with 24 so far.

From these statistics, it has also been possible to draw the average that Salah has in each start of Premier League season always taking as reference the first 6 games, being the seasons of 2017-2018 and 2021-2022 as the best record in terms of creating scoring chances with 2.0 in 90 minutes, but for this 2022-2023, the Egyptian averages 3.7, almost double the productivity of what were his best starts with the Reds.

The Salah facts

Given such numbers, it is difficult to believe that Jürgen Klopp can leave aside one of his best attacking players at the moment, with the Anfield side needing just time for the reinforcements and players returning from injury to get in touch with a Mohamed Salah who is crying out for a partner to solve all the advantages he can offer on the pitch.
