Premier League and Liverpool star Roberto Firmino's role in Jurgen Klopp's system is best epitomized by this particular stat.

He has been made the butt of many jokes due to the deeper position from where he operates. But there's no denying that Firmino is a particular player who has improved Klopp's system. His presence improved the goal numbers of both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, which is no coincidence.

Like Pogba, Firmino has missed a major part of the season with an injury. His minutes have been massively reduced due to the injury. Firmino has only managed 435 minutes in 11 Premier League appearances in the current campaign. However, he has been involved in six goal involvements and averages a goal or an assist every 73 minutes.


#2 Mohamed Salah - 71 Minutes

Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah has been one of the best footballers in the Premier League in the last few seasons. He has been the face of Liverpool's attack since his transfer from AS Roma.

Salah uses his skill and flair to cut inside into the box in an amazing manner. Once in the perfect position, Salah unleashes a venomous shot and scores on most occasions. His left foot is as good as it gets for professional players.

Salah has created and broken all forms of records during his stay at Liverpool. He was one of the main reasons for the club's successful pursuit of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles.

Salah has been in red hot form in the current Premier League campaign, and he has averaged a goal involvement every 71 minutes. In a mere 20 appearances, the Egyptian has scored 16 times and dished out nine assists, which are stunning numbers.

His performances will be key if Liverpool are to pick up some silverware come the end of the season.


#1 Michael Olise - 63 minutes

It's quite incredible to think that someone would have beaten Mohamed Salah's stunning achievements in any statline in the Premier League this season.

But there is indeed another player who has done better than the Egyptian, and it's none other than Crystal Palace footballer Michael Olise. The youngster has predominantly been an option from the bench for Patrick Vieira, but he is quickly moving up the pecking order given his exploits.

Olise may have played just 311 minutes of Premier League football but has already managed to score two goals and assist three more. This puts him at an average goal involvement every 63 minutes, the best among all Premier League footballers who have played at least 300 minutes this season.
