Top 5 Liverpool players of the 2021/22 season
Liverpool recently registered an essential win at Villareal to make the Champions League final. The possibility of the side possibly winning the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Premier League, having already won the League Cup this season, is a testament to the quality of the players that the side field week in, week out. Among the extensive squad that the Reds boast, the following are my top five Liverpool players of the season.
Mohamed Salah
This season, there probably has not been a more prolific player than Mo Salah in Europe, let alone in England. The Egyptian has netted on 22 occasions this season in the league and has scored 8 times in the Champions League. He will be crucial to Liverpool's hopes of winning the European crown.
Salah not only scores but also provides his teammates with opportunities to score. He has 12 assists in the league so far. In order for a player to score, they must first give themselves the best chance to do so. Salah does that by being available in the box or driving into the penalty area. He averages nearly 11 touches in the opposition box per 90'. He also averages nearly 4 shots per 90' this season, giving him a decent chance of finding the net on at least one occasion per game.
