Why Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane will have point to prove at Liverpool this season

Reds trio may have been in the goals last season but summer has been a chastening experience

Blood Red Live Liverpool fans are hopeful but Klopp doesn't have to win a trophy

If, as David Coleman once memorably opined, goals pay the rent, then expect the surrounds of Liverpool's celebrated front three to be positively palatial.

Never before has a Reds forward line proved as devastating, as clinical, as feared as the triumvirate of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane last season.

Between them, they accrued a total of 91 goals between them, each player with their own individual tale to tell.

For Salah, a return of 44 goals was the second-highest in Liverpool's history. Only Ian Rush, with 47, has scored more in a single campaign.

It was enough to not only make the Egyptian the club's Player of the Season, but also be voted the PFA Player of the Year and the Footballer of the Year.

Not bad for a player who arrived at Anfield with the reputation of having been a Premier League failure at Chelsea, and with question marks over his £36.9million fee.

What a bargain that looks now.

For Firmino, his tally of 27 was the best of his career, highlighted by no-look finishes and a penchant for the flamboyant.
