The key to Liverpool’s form lies with getting the best out of Mo Salah again.

Part of that success was down to Slot adapting the team to best suit Salah’s strengths. ‘As long as you rest me defensively, I will provide offensively,’ Salah told his manager last season, who removed most of the attacker’s defensive responsibilities. ‘Try to rest me as much as I could and I will show you the numbers’. Salah drove Liverpool to the title last season, but Slot ensured the team played to the Egyptian’s strengths.

Progressive passes are passes that go towards the opposition team’s goal – but it’s a bit more complicated than that. Liverpool ran out of steam against PSG in last season’s Champions League.
