The view from Egypt on Mohamed Salah and flipping the script on Liverpool's 'misfiring' front three

Summary: Cast your mind back to this stage of the season one year ago and Mohamed Salah sat on four goals from his first eight Premier League games of the campaign. Fast-forward 12 months and Liverpool’s superstar striker has netted just one goal fewer despite having to overcome the physical and emotional effects of what happened in Kiev and before, during and after the World Cup. But given the incredible feats he achieved in his debut season at Anfield, the spotlight is now very much on Salah, and has been since the first ball was kicked versus West Ham United just over two months ago. And, while it is undeniable that we have yet to see the very best of a player who broke record after record in 2017-18, he produced a positive performance against Manchester City before the international break and then scored a stunning goal direct from a corner while away with Egypt. But he picked up an injury later in the same match which makes him a doubt for Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield Town and which sums up his luck since being taken out of the Champions League final. So to get the lowdown on Salah from Egypt, host Paul Wheelock gets back on the phone to Ahmad Yousef, an Egyptian football expert and editor of the KingFut.com website. Paul also speaks to the Liverpool Echo’s Liverpool FC reporter Ian Doyle to talk Salah and his form as part of a front three that is supposedly ‘misfiring’. Like the chat with Ahmad, it makes for revealing listening. Enjoy.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit <a href="https://www.acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a>
