Mohamed Salah: Liverpool star showed incredible pace tracking back vs Everton

Mohamed Salah was far from at his best in Liverpool‘s 0-0 draw away at Everton.

The Egyptian King has not started the 2022/23 season overly well and famously failed to score or assist a goal in his team’s 9-0 win over Bournemouth – which enraged Fantasy Premier League players around the world.

But while Salah was fairly ineffective against Everton in attack, aside from a shot that was tipped onto the post by Jordan Pickford in stoppage-time, he still proved that his desire can never, ever be questioned.

Why do we say that?

Well, in the second half of proceedings at Goodison Park, Salah showed a quite incredible turn of pace to track back and defend when his team needed it most.

Everton broke on the counter from a Liverpool corner and were set to outnumber their opposition in the final third.

Salah recognised the danger posed by Frank Lampard‘s men and turned on the afterburners to help the defenders out.

In the end, the Liverpool star found himself in front of debutant Neal Maupay, who’s shot was brilliantly saved by Alisson Becker.

A lot of plaudits have to go to the Brazilian goalkeeper, but Salah’s presence inside the box meant the Frenchman had far less time to pick his spot.

Well played, Mo.

Even when he’s struggling for form, Salah is still working as hard as possible to help Liverpool and while that should be expected from a high-earning professional, many fail to do so under the same circumstances.

But Kopites will be desperate to see their main man return to form, as when he’s not confident and scoring goals, Jurgen Klopp’s team is a totally different animal – and not in a good way.
