Liverpool might have 100 problems at the moment, but Mohamed Salah's goalscoring form is certainly not one of them. The 'Egyptian King' has undoubtedly been one of Liverpool's standout performers.

A truly world class footballer, Mohamed Salah has broken a number of Liverpool records in the last few seasons and looks good to break even more records in the future.

When asked if Salah gets enough credit, Jurgen Klopp in his recent press conference said:

“You don’t have to ask me if or why he doesn’t get the credit. If he doesn’t get the credit, I don’t know,” he said.
“It would be really strange and really unexplainable why he shouldn’t get the credit. He gets the credit here, internally, for sure for all these things.
He gets all the respect from us. If you don’t give him the right amount of respect, you have to ask yourself why that is the case.The numbers and the performances cannot be the reason.”
