Coming from the back of such impressive and successful 2017/18 season with Liverpool, Mohamed Salah was always going to face criticism when his form hit a snag.
Last term was sensational.
He was voted PFA Players' Player of the Year and scored 32 Premier League goals to claim the Golden Boot.
In the Champions League, he scored 10 goals en route to the final, and also found the net in the FA Cup.
His World Cup may have been a disappointment — largely due to injury — but Salah was also influential in getting Egypt to the tournament for the first time since 1990.
