Mo Salah was the Golden Boot winner last season

In an unexpected narrative at the beginning of last season, Salah had one of the greatest debut seasons in Premier League history, seemingly breaking records every week as he banged in goal after goal.

Salah set a plethora of Premier League records including for most goals scored in a 38-game season and most goals scored by a Liverpool player in his debut season. He was deservedly named PFA and PWA Player of The Year among other personal awards.

The 25-year-old Egyptian scored a total of 44 goals, helping Liverpool to a 4th place league finish and a spot in the Champions League final.

Salah, however, is just the headline act, the protagonist of a brilliantly talented Liverpool attack. Klopp's genenpressing style of football is suited to the abilities of Salah, and together with Sadio Mane and the grossly underrated Roberto Firmino, form one of the most potent attacking trident in world football.

The trio scored a whopping 91 goals between them last season, as defenses found it difficult to contain their brilliance. Firmino was the selfless runner, constantly drawing back to drag defenders out of position and create spaces for his teammates to explore.

Mane used his trickery and speed on the wings to devastating effect, while King Salah was downright unplayable at times, embarking on Messisque mazy runs en route scoring goal after goal. The 'terrific three' will come in handy once more next season.

The signing of Xherdan Shaqiri will also prove a useful addition off the bench (as his terrific overhead kick against United showed) and if this attack can show the kind of form it did last season, then Liverpool might find themselves walking together with the Premier League title in hand come the end of next season.
