3 reasons why Mohamed Salah deserves to be Player of the Year

#1 Impact on Liverpool's season

Salah seems to have plugged the goal scoring vacuum created by Luiz Suarez’s departure

Salah’s contribution to Liverpool’s season extends far beyond his contributions in front of goal. He is integral to how Liverpool play, how they pin teams back and how opponents approach matches against the Reds.

In the Liverpool's attacking system he has proved to be more than a traditional winger. He is being deployed as the wide striker who often comes into dangerous attacking areas and scores important goals for his club.

Arguably Salah is the best-attacking player in the world without the ball right now. His presence has also helped midfielders; the likes of Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and Gini Wijnaldum, sitting behind those attackers, to also perform better as they are able to play those diagonal balls in open spaces which he chases enthusiastically.

His work rate off the ball for the Merseyside club has been fantastic and this has completely suited the high pressing style of Jurgen Klopp.

Mohamed Salah has scored against every team in the top six barring Manchester United. He is doing it in the big games – home and away against Arsenal and Tottenham, strikes against Manchester City and Chelsea, aswell as the Merseyside derby – and against the small teams too.

The thrilling Egyptian seems to have plugged the goal scoring hole created by Luiz Suarez’s departure in 2014.

Simply, no other player has had more decisive moments than Salah this season and the award should go to the player with the finest individual season.
