Liverpool 4-0 Leicester: Four things we learned – Mohamed Salah is a beast

Mohamed Salah is a beast

He’s strong, he’s quick, he’s got a great rig. Salah is an absolute beast and if you didn’t already know it you do now. The Egyptian was always battling against Chilwell and never let the England left-back have an easy second as he bustled and worked his tremendous buttocks off in search of a goal.

That big floppy mop of hair was bouncing up and down like a fiddler’s elbow as Salah turned getting into the box into a pure physical confrontation and showed tremendous strength as he often got the better of the Leicester defence.

Salah battled well but his finishing has been curious this season – which was typified by his odd decision to try and chip the keeper after a corner fell to him rather than put his foot through it. He has hooked after 65 minutes, which seemed odd given he was causing problems and the replacement was Divock Origi – normally a central striker.

When you think of the King, you think goals and pace and an ability to dribble past opponent. What we all underestimate is the strength of the man. People go flying in at him, they crowd him out, they chop him down and yet Mohamed Salah stays strong and keeps on driving at the goal.
