EPL 2017-18: Leicester City 2-3 Liverpool - 5 Talking Points

#3. Mohamed Salah at £35 million is an absolute steal but there are areas in which he still needs to improve

Mohamed Salah needs to improve on his finishing to ensure he is counted amongst the world's best.

There were a few football fans who were not very happy when Liverpool splashed the cash on Salah. The Egyptian had been in a phenomenal form for AS Roma but a failed stint at Chelsea was believed to be the reason that Salah remained a speculative buy. However, Salah has proven his doubters wrong in a matter of a few games and has established himself as one of the most important players under Jurgen Klopp this season.

Before the game, Salah had already bagged 4 goals and an assist in 6 games across all competitions and he added to that tally with a goal against the Foxes. While he might not have been able to add to that tally on the evening, he was a constant threat to the Leicester side with his pace, skill as well as a deadly left foot.

However, make no mistake, he is not a world class player yet. He has been found guilty of missing easy chances time and again this season and that might perhaps be the biggest weakness in his game. He missed a simple opportunity 2 minutes before scoring the opening goal against Leicester after an Emre Can shot had bounced off the upright into his path and while Liverpool managed to eke out the all-important 3 points, these missed chances have proven costly for the Reds in the past and could come back to haunt the side yet again if Salah does not improve.
