Salah continues to start for the Reds under the new system as their first-choice right forward.

In contrast to his inside forward role in prior seasons, the manager has used the 31-year-old in a more wider role.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been playing as an inverted fullback more frequently as a result of the adjustment.

Due to the inverted fullback position, Trent is unable to go around Salah and expose the defense of the enemy.

In comparison to other seasons, the Egypt international has also reduced the number of shots he takes every game.

In the new system, Salah has been more likely to assist his attacking teammates more frequently.

Salah has made 13 appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season while contributing 10 goals and four assists.

The 31-year-old has maintained his high goal-scoring standards despite less number of shots compared to previous seasons.

Football Insider (h/t Liverpool Echo) reported that the Saudi clubs are keen to return for Salah in January.

During the summer, Al-Ittihad submitted an initial bid of up to £150 million, but Liverpool rejected it.

Nevertheless, Liverpool remains completely uninterested in entertaining any offer for their legendary attacker currently.

Salah has proven that he still has a lot of high-level performance left in his tank.

The 31-year-old is physically in peak condition and the new system has helped him through his slight loss in pace.

Salah continues to write new chapters in his Liverpool legacy and the Kopites would love for him to carry on.

Salah has been nothing short of sensational since and speaking on the Obi One podcast, Terry admitted that he regrets not giving him and Kevin De Bruyne more attention.

“Absolutely not, no chance. It’s my one disappointment as captain” Terry said when asked did he envisage the two players would achieve what they have via TBR Football.

“I softened as the years went on, but when those guys were there I was very disciplined in the group and very strong.

“They probably needed an arm around the shoulder, a sit down and a discussion and maybe I could’ve helped them settle in.
