Juventus, Barcelona, Atalanta, and more – Why Liverpool’s terrifying forward line of Salah, Mane, and Firmino

Even typing out the names Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino sends chills down the spine.

Liverpool’s front three are without doubt one of the most exceptional the world has ever seen.

Salah bagged a brace against Brighton on Wednesday night

For the last three years, defences in the Premier League and Champions League have been given chastening lessons at he hands of the Egyptian, the Senegalese, and the Brazilian.

Speed, guile, tenacity and smarts have torn even the most stoic sides to shreds, reputations both established and growing left in tatters by the terrifying triumvirate.

Currently, Salah and Mane are battling for the English top flight’s Golden Boot award with 19 and 16 goals respectively.

The former’s double against Brighton edged him into third spot, three behind Jamie Vardy – but can he , or Mane, spoil the party?

Mane, Salah and Firmino will be remembered fondly in Liverpool history

Let’s not forget Firmino in all of this, he’s tremendous work rate and ability to regain possession high up the pitch is key for Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Indeed, any talk of replacing him with a ‘more prolific’ striker seem to forget exactly how influential he is to the side.

But, the Brazilian’s total of eight league goals which actually has them lagging behind some of Europe’s top clubs when it comes to goals scored this season.

The Reds, despite their dominant Premier League title, don’t have the best attack trio in the top five leagues.
