Jürgen Klopp gives two reasons for Mo Salah’s ‘slow’ start to the season

Mohamed Salah is most certainly back to his best

Having been accused of showing signs of being a one-season wonder, Salah is now firing on all cylinders and only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored more Premier League goals this season than the Egyptian forward. Salah's contribution has played a significant role in keeping Liverpool undefeated in the league and he appears to be back to the peak of his powers. Manager Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged that it took Salah some time to get going this term but the Reds boss has given two reasons for the 26-year-old's early struggles. "He had to adapt a bit to a slightly different position," Klopp explained, via the Liverpool Echo. "It's not that much different, but it is different. "We need his link-up play, but he is still with the desire and the speed over the first few yards. He's impressive, and a very important part of our finishing situations. "Of course he's young enough to involve a lot more things in his style of play. It's not just speed, it's not just finishing, it's a lot of things, between the lines and keeping the ball. "But you need your body for that and that was a the problem. "At the start of the season, part of Mo's body was not perfect. If you work in an office, if your shoulder is not 100 per cent and it is not your writing hand, then you're okay. "But if you're a footballer, you have to wait until it's 100 per cent. But we knew he was still a world-class player but we had to wait a little bit. "It's all good."
