Firmino, Mane and Salah.

Liverpool's first signing of the season, Mohamed Salah hit the ground running from day one under the German manager. He scored his first goal for the Reds upon his return to the Premier League against Watford. Since then, he has been breaking individual records for fun with his goal scoring spree.

Thierry Henry's take on Mohamed Salah,"There are no step-overs, there’s no trying to nutmeg, there are no skills for no reason. He’s going at you, if you’re ready or not that’s your problem".

Roberto Firmino's work rate and tackling are crucial to Salah and Mane's freedom to roam around the pitch. Not only that, the Brazilian is having his best goal scoring season since 2013-14 season when he ended up with 23 goals at Hoffenheim. These kind of footballers are pretty rare to come by, they are hardworking irrespective of the score line.

The Arsenal legend was also in full praise of Roberto Firmino after his back heel assist to Salah against Southampton,"You're always going to be behind in terms of thinking. It's perfect. I would have liked to play with this guy".

Firmino's relentless hardwork, Salah's ability to find the back of the net and Mane's holdup play is paying off for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp has put in enormous work to get the best wide players and to bring the best out of Bobby Firmino. They have the capability to swarm past any defence in the world currently.

The club is moving in the right direction by getting rid of average players and bringing players in who fit the system perfectly. If Liverpool can hold onto these three players for years to come, they will ease past many records and help the Reds win lots of silverware.
