Mo Salah’s value to Jurgen Klopp goes beyond his goal-scoring output.
At Molineux, that was emphasized twice. The tiny Egyptian couldn’t track down the net, but he didn’t have to. He arranged for other people to do it for him. As the red machine sputtered to life, Salah extended his extraordinary streak of scoring or assisting to 11 games.
The 31-year-old has stepped up frequently when Klopp has needed a difference-maker. Aiming for something is the norm. So far, that has occurred 139 times.
However, Salah is now one dozen assists behind his Merseyside counterpart, Kevin De Bruyne, and is expected to make up significant ground on that list.
Because of the Belgian’s long-term ιnjury, the African now has a few months to make up ground. The 31-year-old has been directly involved in more over 200 goals, putting him second all-time among Premier League players behind only Steven Gerrard.
Overall, he’s the second quickest to reach that figure, after only Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.Two assists, which could have been three, were the difference in this game.
Wolves were up by one goal and had a golden opportunity to double their lead when Matheus Cunha botched a far-post header. It was the luck of the draw that every player hopes for.
However, the Brazilian botched his lines. After tying the game with a shot across the face of the goal for Cody Gakpo, Salah played a deliciously drawn-out one-two with Andy Robertson to set up the game-winning goal.
Even though he assisted Harvey Elliott on the third goal, the goal was disallowed due to a deflection. It was unfortunate for both parties.
We see it week after week with Mo,” Elliott remarked. He defies belief. His finishing talent is obvious, but his ingenuity is just as impressive.
That’s why his spot on the team is guaranteed each and every week. Count on him without fail. He provided three assists if this counts as my goal.
I don’t think people give enough credit to how extraordinary his imagination is. You can tell right away that he’s a top-tier player and one of the finest in the world.
