Almost everytime he picks up the ball it's from the right.
He dribbles from the right wing, makes his runs from the right wing. Picks up the ball on the touchline so often. Most Salah moments this season have been from the wing. But for some reason people say he's a striker or a poacher.
I see him playing outside foot crosses, cutting in, assisting, dribbling and scoring. Whilst being a wonderful defender/presser. All that criticism seems to have subsided. No attacking player in world football offers anywhere near as much as Salah does to a team atm.
We were right again reds
Salah the Winger

Teams barely even play with wingers anymore. It’s all inside forwards or wingbacks

Salah is a super player anyone that says different is jealous as he is not in his team.
He comes across as a likable person too.

I saw so.eone say he had a terrible first touch, you'd wonder why some people watch football when they can't see whats in front of them...

I find it all a bit arbitrary tbh.
The zones he takes up are often in the box. On counters he can even be found left of centre following an opposition corner.
At the start of the season we had Elliot going on the outside of him regularly with Trent coming inside to midfield to create over loads.
I wouldn't over think it anymore than people did with Henry.

He's a tremendous player and probably playing as well as anyone in the world right now. However to say he's a winger is a huge lie. Liverpool's wingers are really their fullbacks. Everyone knows this.
Salah and Mane might work hard and track back at times but they are definitely not wingers. Giggs, Beckham, Pires, Ginola etc were wingers.
Great player though. Lets hope he fecks off soon.

Our system is set up to exploit both salah and mane.
If you look at mane's heat map is his encourages to come a long way in form the wing to a central location.
this works with Salah who stays right

I don’t think there are 2 players who can or could fit so perfectly in Klopps system, on the ball and off it, than Mane and Salah. We are so lucky to have them and to have had them in their peak.

true and with firmino to gvie them both the support to enable it.
It is quite a fine balance klopp has stuck as you've also robertson who just wants to run on and over lap and mane gives him space to do that but on the other side you've trent who's happy to play from deep to salah or work with him on the right.
really they have all adjusted to each other really a uge amount so when wijnaldum leaves it looks a huge loss but in actual fact is about the next guy learning the nuances of the triangle they need to join.
our heat map for attacking play his about 70 % down the flanks and only 30% max down the middle. Its all about these triangles of players
