Mohamed Salah's performance against Manchester City has been described as extraordinary by Andy Robertson. Salah scored and assisted in Liverpool's 2-0 victory, which extended their lead at the Premier League top to 11 points. This season, Salah has been involved in 41 goals, making him the first player to achieve over 40 goal contributions in two separate seasons, having done so previously in 2017-18.

Salah's remarkable form this season includes scoring and assisting in 11 different Premier League matches, surpassing the previous record of seven. His contributions have been pivotal for Liverpool's success. Andy Cole and Alan Shearer hold the record for most goal involvements in a single season with 47. Salah is on track to challenge this record with nine games remaining.

Jamie Carragher believes Salah's current campaign could be the best individual season ever witnessed. "This is going to end up being the greatest season we have ever seen from an individual for Mo Salah, I've no doubts about that," Carragher stated on Sky Sports. He suggested that Salah might set a benchmark that future players may find impossible to reach.

Erling Haaland (44 in 2022-23), Thierry Henry (44 in 2002-03), and Luis Suarez (43 in 2013-14) are among those who have surpassed Salah's achievements from this season and his previous record-breaking year. With two more goal involvements against Newcastle United, Salah could surpass his own record.

Robertson praised Salah's work rate, especially his defensive efforts alongside Lucho Diaz, which were crucial for maintaining a clean sheet against Manchester City. "I can't be bothered talking about him to be honest! No, he's been unbelievable," Robertson told BBC Match of the Day. He highlighted how everyone played their part but credited Salah for finishing off the set-piece routine.

Salah’s Impact on Liverpool’s Success

Salah's influence extends beyond scoring; his overall play has been vital for Liverpool. His ability to both score and assist consistently sets him apart from his peers. Robertson emphasised how crucial Salah is to the team: "He is on a different world right now and playing out of his skin. We are very happy to have him, that's for sure."

The Egyptian forward continues to impress with his exceptional performances, contributing significantly to Liverpool's dominance this season. As he aims to break more records, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how far he can push his limits.
