#3 James Milner
James Milner is aging like fine wine as the former England international is one of the fittest players in the Liverpool squad. Crucially, he does a commendable job whenever called upon.
Trending
With Fabinho and Jordan Henderson arriving late following their exploits for their respective national sides, Milner was drafted into the lineup against Norwich City.
The 35-year old put in a solid display for Liverpool, and didn’t allow the Norwich attackers any time on the ball.
Milner managed three tackles and two interceptions in the middle of the park, and was dribbled past just one in the entire game.
Although he may not play too many games after Henderson and Fabinho are fully fit, Milner will be a crucial squad player for Liverpool this season.
#2 Naby Keita
Like Milner, Naby Keita put in an impressive display in the middle of the park and was equally good going forward.
The former RB Leipzig star has had an injury-ravaged spell at Liverpool so far, but has had a good pre-season and is perhaps in peak condition right now.
Keita made an incredible six tackles in the game and harried the Norwich players into losing the ball with is pressing. His pass success rate was 95%, and Norwich struggled to contain him when he drove forward.
Alongside Milner, Keita forged a solid partnership for Liverpool in midfield. The fact that van Dijk and Matip did not have to make a single tackle shows how good Keita and Milner were in midfield.
#1 Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah never starts the season on a dull note, does he? The Egyptian international’s goal against Norwich City saw him become the first player in Premier League history to score in five successive opening game weeks.
Salah was pretty much unstoppable last Saturday as he drove at the Norwich defense with pace and had as many as five shots on target.
The Egyptian managed two assists and a goal at the end was the cherry on top. His combination play with the likes of Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota was impressive, and the Liverpool fans should be buoyed by his bright start. The Reds will almost certainly rely heavily on Salah for the remainder of the season.
