Liverpool need Salah back in the team

Liverpool’s attack probably works best when Mohamed Salah, Mane and Firmino are all starting. There have been instances when the Reds managed to produce stunning performances when one or two of them weren’t starting.

However, yesterday, a lot could’ve been done if Salah was in the team. Klopp decided to bench the 27-year-old who missed the international break due to an ankle injury.

After being rested, the Egyptian international should be fit to start their Champions League fixture against Napoli at Anfield. Salah will be needed in that game as Liverpool will try to avenge the defeat in Naples a couple of months back which remains to be their only defeat of this season as of now.
