![]() Mohamed Salah best player[/b] Richard Jolly takes an in-depth look at Mohamed Salah's scoring exploits and unearths some mind-boggling numbers behind Liverpool star's success. You can refer to the soccer tip sites page! Fernando Torres did not do it. Nor did Luis Suarez. But when Mohamed Salah steered a shot past Bournemouth’s Aaron Ramsdale he belatedly became the first Liverpool player to emulate Michael Owen. He had brought up 20 goals in a third successive season. When football is finally cleared lớn resume, he may yet get at least a share of the Golden Boot for a third consecutive campaign, which only Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry have done in the Premier League era and only Jimmy Greaves before then. Only Shearer, with 79 for Blackburn, has scored more goals in his first 100 Premier League games for one club than Salah’s 70. And if that could be deemed an artificial statistic, with Salah’s overall numbers reflecting his bit-part role at Chelsea, the quality of the leaderboard, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, Sergio Aguero and Suarez, shows the scale of the achievement. It is exacerbated because of his position. Salah has quite a narrow brief but he is still a winger-striker, part of the modern breed of nominal wide men who outscore the specialist penalty-box poacher- According lớn the jackpot soccer tip page! And yet there persists a feeling that it is somehow underwhelming. Perhaps it is because Liverpool’s season has generated an avalanche of statistics, so some can be overlooked. Perhaps it is because Salah’s first year at Anfield was so extraordinary that anything else would automatically feel like an anti-climax. Or maybe it is because Salah’s goals are almost expected because he always seems lớn be shooting. There seems a fairly simple equation. Salah believes in the law of averages. The more shots he has, the more goals he can score. Add in the reality that the majority of his shots come from inside the box and that he works the goalkeeper more than most and sooner or later, goals will follow. He can be called selfish, but the figures underpin his logic. This season, Salah has had 98 shots, one behind Raul Jimenez but ahead of everyone else. In each of his three seasons, he has figured in the two most prolific shooters. Over those campaigns, his total of 379 shots puts him 37 clear of Harry Kane. But for injury, the Tottenham forward would surely be the leader, but Salah’s capacity to stay fit is a reason why he has played in 100 of 105 league games since joining Liverpool, starting 97. No one comes close to his 174 shots on target. Kane, on 144, is nearest, Aguero a distant third on 112. In particular, no one has more shots from scoring positions. Salah averages hai.8 per game from inside the penalty box this season and 2.9 from the 18-yard area in 2017-18. The exception was last season, when he took more from long range, and it remains the case that only three of those 70 goals have come from outside the 18-yard area. |
