Mohamed Salah has improved on his game a great deal and is already proving to be a world-beater at Liverpool, says Gary Neville.
Salah continues to show what he’s all about with his performances.
In his latest outing for Liverpool, the Egyptian forward scored a hatrick that sealed the win for his side against Leeds at the weekend.
For Salah, his latest hatrick took him to 97 in 154 appearances since he joined the Reds in 2016.
The 28-year-old continues to deliver the goods on a consistent basis. Gary Neville is in awe of the Liverpool man and even likened him to some big names.
“There was a point in the game where I was watching Salah and I just thought, that is some player,” he said as quoted by Sky Sports.
“Four years ago, when he first came to Liverpool and he got those 40-odd goals, I thought, ‘That’s a freak. He won’t be able to live with that’.
“But then he consistently produces over a period of two or three years.”
At Liverpool, Salah has a partner in crime upfront in Sadio Mane. Both players boast great attacking potent but Neville thinks the Egyptian is just ahead of his Senegalese counterpart.
“You think about the mentality difference between Mane and Salah,” Neville added. “Mane is likeable. I think the players probably love him, he gives his all every single day, he’ll do the selfless thing for the team.”
“Then you look at Salah over the other side. He doesn’t pass sometimes to his team-mates. He’s a little bit more selfish and a little bit less likeable because of that, probably to the fans and to his own team-mates.”
“But then, I look at him as an outsider and I’m thinking that he is an absolute killer on the pitch.”
“It reminds me of the twin tracking of [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Wayne] Rooney in the mid-2000s. That’s where Mane and Salah are now.”
