Mo Salah is a Premier League champion once again but we all know that he won’t be content with just that from this season.
Such are the exceptionally high standards of our Egyptian King, he will firmly have more goal scoring and assist providing records in his sights.
Currently sat top of both leader boards, our No.11 is three goals or assists away from breaking the joint record held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole of 47 goal involvements across a single Premier League season.
What makes the 32-year-old’s achievement more impressive is that the current record was set in 42-game campaign, whereas he has only had the opportunity to play just 34 of the possible 38 this season.
The former Roma man will be the first to say that he wouldn’t have achieved his current numbers without his teammates, though this may be about to change.
Arne Slot spoke on Friday ahead of this weekend’s fixture against Chelsea and confirmed that he would be rotating his team for the final four matches of the campaign.
Whereas this is good news for the likes of Harvey Elliott, who has once again had to provide an update on his future, it may not be as well received by the record chaser.
Mo Salah will want to set more records this season
Although it’s highly unlikely that our main goal scorer will be the one who is rotated out of the team, he would seemingly prefer to play alongside the likes of Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, rather than watching the quality of the side potentially dip.
We all know how talented this championship-winning team is and you certainly need a squad to win a league, though a lack of rotation throughout the year has perhaps shown that our head coach doesn’t think everyone is of the same standard.
Fingers crossed though that Mo Salah can still now pursue his personal targets and that those coming into the team prove that they deserve more minutes next season too.

What utter nonsense! I do not believe for one second that Mo has players he’d rather play with. Perhaps someone can come up with some arcane, irrelevant stat to try and ‘prove’ the point, but the idea that Mo himself has a preference is, as I say, nonsense.
If that is what Mo Salah wants let Mo Salah get it, he has been good to LFC. A true servant of Liverpool. A time will come for others to express themselves. Even though LFC may already be Champions, we would to see them prove to all and sundry that it was by fluke. If a chance is there let us trash Chelsea tomorrow. Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah
I think he deserves his game time, he needs that to break and set some more new records, which is good not only for him but for the club as well.
Let all the PL record holder be a Liverpool man, that makes us proud.
Yes
Very true. I totally agree with the thinking that the team should be strong to get results. Chelsea is our arch rival and we should beat them. Mo Salah on the other hand should be given a good environment to break records.
