Analysed: Mohamed Salah the No.9

Mohamed Salah’s proficiency in a central attacking role has come as no surprise to Robbie Fowler.

Following a debut season with Liverpool in which he scored 44 times while predominantly stationed on the right of a front three, a tactical tweak by Jürgen Klopp has seen Salah regularly deployed as a No.9 this term.

The Egyptian has proven prolific there, too, with his 2018-19 tally currently reading 19 goals in 33 appearances - a record that puts him on the brink of becoming the first Reds player to net 20 times in successive campaigns since Luis Suarez.
