It might not be over yet, but Liverpool’s season has been something special so far.
And a major driving force of the campaign, once again, has been the front three of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah.
In their second year together, the trio have netted a combined 61 goals in all competitions to this point, and have given their side a very serious chance at winning both the Premier League and the Champions League.
They might not get to the truly astonishing 91 that they banged in last year, but the offensive output of the forward line has delivered yet again.
And, it seems, this is not something that has escaped the attention of manager Jurgen Klopp.
The German tactician is quoted by Goal as saying:
I have to say, the three up front in such a difficult game, what they worked again, what they did – everybody worked of course like crazy – but in a game like this [the 2-0 win at Cardiff], the defensive attitude of our three up front, that was outstanding,
And then on the other side, still having the creativity and the speed and the desire to be in these decisive moments up front and in their box.
I really love that game, it was so difficult and the boys made it happen – super.
With all three players tied down to long contracts, it doesn’t look as if the goals are going away anytime soon.
