The Data and facts will of course hold you in good stead and is your CV, but you then you still have to deliver and that’s ultimately what you’re paid for. In Salah’s defensive, there are fragment areas that upset the overall balance and as repeatedly mentioned here there and everywhere, he’s not surrounded by certain players and ilk of players with the skill-set and traits that he fed off and excelled.
He getting the best out of himself by strength is when on the counter-press and links available square to centre, switch to the opposite flank, or the overlapping run on the right.
