James Milner Insists Liverpool Players Must Support Mohamed Salah & Take Pressure Off Egyptian King

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has insisted that he and the rest of the squad must work hard to take the pressure off superstar forward Mohamed Salah this season and not simply rely on the Egyptian's quality to score goals and win games.

Salah scored 44 goals in all competitions last season and completed a clean sweep of PFA, FWA and Premier League Player of the Year awards. His form has also seen him nominated for Best FIFA Men's Player alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane and Eden Hazard.

But to have another fine season in 2018/19, Milner has urged Liverpool teammates to help and support him so he is not carrying the flag and a weight of responsibility on his own.
