#4 Getting rid of dependency on Salah

Will Salah make the difference once again this season?

Mohamed Salah had a phenomenal season last year with 32 goals and 10 assists to his name in the last campaign. He was literally Liverpool’s go-to person whenever the club desperately needed someone to make a difference.

While that worked very well for Klopp, it did backfire when the Egyptian was not in the squad. The best example would be the final of the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid. Liverpool lacked the threat once Salah was subbed off due to a shoulder injury and it helped Madrid easily capitalize and win the trophy.

The trio of Salah, Firmino and Sadio Mane is a dangerous one and while it is most effective when Salah scores, the other two will have to contribute significantly. Both Mane and Firmino too had a good campaign last season but Klopp will need more out of them as well as Shaqiri and Sturridge to make sure Salah doesn’t feel the pressure to make the difference every time.

Also, with Salah being a massive threat, most Premier League teams will focus on defending and containing him which should help other Liverpool players the opportunity to step up and shine.
