Mohamed Salah has a big question hanging over him, but Liverpool already have the answer

The Egyptian had a frustrating night but is being unfairly judged in some quarters.

.There needs to be a decision made over Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

On any social media driven forum following the 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, some seemed to break away from another joyous and soul-searching Liverpool win to take aim at the Egyptian and a perceived wastefulness in front of goal.

Salah had six attempts all night, two of which were on target. One of which causing a visible retort from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moments before he was substituted. We've been here before of course, Sadio Mané at Burnley's Turf Moor the last time someone took aim at the fact he never passed when in a good position.

There is substance, given that some of the positions Salah got in ended up looking like he was guilty of wasteful finishing. Indeed, he should have worked Rui Patricio more given the quality of chance he had. He didn't, yet Liverpool still found a way to win in a Molineux stadium which bayed for blood all night

With Mané's injury extent unknown, there will be more pressure heaped upon Salah to be everything at once in a Liverpool attack. Yet this is both unfair and impossible. Salah is not a penalty-box striker and won't operate as one, therefore unless and until he becomes one he cannot fairly be judged as so.

The reason the Egyptian ends up in such positions mostly is through him coming deep or inside from those wide positions he operates in. He is now down on his Premier League expected goal tally (xG), with a rate of 12.21 for his 11 scored, but remains around par on expected assists (xA) with a rate of 4.99 to five.

Liverpool once again proved they are a team which wins and loses together. More importantly, they create the type of set-piece and pressing situations through players like Salah for the goals that were scored against Wolves to materialise. His goals will return at a better rate at some point soon; he only has to ask Roberto Firmino about that.

Salah maybe asking himself the question of what he is based on how he now seems to be judged. He should rest assured that the answer lies in the collective. He is part of a Liverpool team achieving unbelievable feats right now, and he is very much playing his part even when he isn't on the scoresheet, and despite whether he should have been.
