#4 Liverpool missed Mohamed Salah
For much of the season, Mohamed Salah has been the main livewire for Liverpool, having terrorized opposition defenders all through the campaign.
The Egypt international was unable to take his place in the Liverpool line-up as a result of a hamstring injury he sustained in midweek against Manchester City in the Champions League.
On Saturday as the Reds labored to a goalless draw against Everton, it was very evident that the missing piece in their attacking machinery was Salah. The 25-year-old has netted an impressive 29 goals in the Premier League this season and keeps getting better with each passing game.
His absence against the Toffees affected Liverpool so much that they could only muster two shots on target all through the first half. Salah is not a player who only scores, he is much more important to Jurgen Klopp’s style of play which demands that attackers press when the ball is lost.
In the absence of the former Chelsea star and partner Roberto Firmino, that task was left to only Sadio Mane, supported by Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke – neither of whom could either match Salah’s potency or work rate.
In the end, Liverpool were without so many of the regular stars, but the fact remains that Salah was their biggest miss.
