Mohamed Salah: Former Liverpool player Jason McAteer says Egyptian will NOT replicate 44-goal haul from last season
Mohamed Salah’s incredible haul of 44 goals last season was ‘a one-off’, according to ex-Liverpool player Jason McAteer.The Egyptian took last season by storm, winning the PFA Player of the Year award and setting a Premier League record of the most goals scored in a 38-game season with 32 strikes.2

Salah has not been firing as freely this campaign, even if the Reds are in a much better position than they were a year ago.The 26-year-old has 13 goals in all competitions this campaign but Liverpool have looked a much more solid defensive outfit and are genuine contenders to win the Premier League.The Egyptian has scored four goals in his last two appearances for the Reds, however, including a hat-trick against Bournemouth last weekend.Nonetheless, McAteer is not convinced Salah will kick on.McAteer, speaking exclusively for bookmaker comparison platformYour-Promotional-Code.co.uk, said: “Jurgen Klopp has realised that other managers are going to try and combat the way Liverpools front three play.2

“Hes gone to a 4-2-3-1 formation to get another attacker in and it was always going to be difficult to adapt to that in a more central role.“So, this season its not been that swashbuckling dynamic displays that weve seen from Mo but statistically, you cant knock him. Hes still in fantastic form and hes the Premier Leagues top scorer. “Id like to see him emulate last season, but I think it was a one-off. I dont think he can get a 44-goal season again but if he can get 30 goals a season for the next few years, what a player weve got there.”Last season’s exploits even saw Salah compared to the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo but McAteer, who represented Liverpool between 1995-99, claims it is unfair to compare Salah to the five-time Ballon d’Or winners.He set such high expectations for himself. People look at him now in the same light as Messi and Ronaldo, which is a bit unfair because longevity has really put those two on a pedestal.”
