By this stage of last season, Mohamed Salah had found the back of the net in five of Liverpool ’s opening six Premier League matches. This season however, he’s drawn a blank in four of their opening six.
It’s been tough to identify a solid cause of his slow start, yet one of the theories has been centred around a different role he has played in Jurgen Klopp's side this season.
There’s a feeling from those who have watched the Egyptian each week that he’s playing much wider than he has in previous seasons, although that was a notion that was quickly disparaged by Klopp in the wake of Saturday's 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.
