Gary Neville feels Mo Salah is in ‘unbelievable’ form but that shows a real ‘worry’ for Liverpool. It’s a new one for Jurgen Klopp.

Mohamed Salah won the game for Liverpool on Sunday. His two goals against Tottenham Hotspur saw out a 2-1 win and continued a fantastic run of form for the Egyptian.

That’s now nine goals in his last eight games. It seems Salah is back to his best, then, with crucial goals against Manchester City and Napoli coming before Spurs.

Gary Neville certainly believes we’re seeing Salah’s best form. However, he also thinks it highlights a new problem for Jurgen Klopp.

“It was a positive that Salah is back to his best,” Neville told The Overlap. “I think the game I saw first where I thought ‘he’s back’ was the Man City game.

“He was a different level [to everyone else]. I thought yesterday, the stark thing about Liverpool was that in the past three, four, five years, Salah’s been class but he’s not stood out above all the rest of them.

“He’s been one of many great performers. At the moment when he plays, he looks on a different level to the rest of his teammates.

“Now his teammates are good, don’t get me wrong, but it is a little bit of a worry for Liverpool because he does look like an unbelievable player out there at the moment. By far the best player on the pitch.”

Mo Salah form for Liverpool

At the end of the day, Neville is right. Salah is playing at a higher level to everyone else and looks to be back at his best. While everyone else struggles to recapture last season’s form – Alisson Becker aside – the Egyptian is there outperforming his teammates.

That hasn’t happened before. Salah, as Neville says, has always had others keeping up with him, or at least coming close. Right now, though, he’s playing like someone who can win the title and no other outfield players are.

But we don’t think it’s a worry. Salah started this season slowly, like everyone else, and the fact he got back to his best level shows how quickly the rest of them can, too.

Instead of merely highlighting a problem, Salah should be inspiration.
