Jan Molby believes Mohamed Salah is getting back to his best

Former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby believes Mohamed Salah is getting back to his best.

After scoring 44 goals in all competitions last season for the Reds, the expectations on Salah were no doubt going to be high going into the 2018-19 season, but despite not being at his absolute best this season, Molby believes he is still making a valuable contribution.

Molby told the Liverpool Echo: “Just as some people have seemingly decreed that the team is not as dynamic as last season, similar remarks have been said about Mohamed Salah although his goal in the 2-0 win over Fulham suggested he’s getting back to his best.

“A lot of observations on Salah are based on his stats and it is very difficult for him to match his numbers from last season.

“But I think if you look at the highlights from Liverpool’s games so far this season he will feature in most of them and they’ll be him creating chancing or scoring goals.

“In that respect he’s almost as effective as he was last season but the problem is that he obviously finished the campaign with such a flourish, scoring some very magnificent goals, so that’s maybe why some people are saying he’s not quite at the same levels.

“I still think that he’s involved in an awful lot of things that matter so I believe he’s actually very close to being where he wants to be.”
