Mohamed Salah has been the most prolific goalscorer and playmaker in the 2024/2025 Premier League season with 29 goals and 18 assists in 38 matches while playing as a right-winger.
This is five goals and six assists clear of the closest players, Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy, respectively.
Liverpool have dominated the Premier League this season while also challenging in the UEFA Champions League.
This has been a surprise for most football fans as Liverpool only brought in one new player during the transfer window.
However, the slight tactical changes made by Arne Slot and the goal contributions from Salah have led to a successful season for the club.
Salah has set the standards on the pitch since returning to the league in 2017.
Still, this year, in his first season under Jürgen Klopp‘s successor, he has progressed to another level, surpassing his previous seasons under the former manager.
After recently signing a new two-year contract that will keep him at the club until summer 2027, if he can continue his current form during the season, producing record-breaking numbers, he will be able to contribute to more successful seasons with Liverpool.
In this tactical analysis and scout report, we will focus on Salah’s transformation this season under Slot and how this differs from his playing style under Klopp.
Therefore, this analysis will highlight Salah’s contributions to the team with Slot’s new tactics.
Germany reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League but were knocked out by Portugal before losing to France in the third-place playoff.
The team’s performance combined a promising style of play with a feeling that many aspects and choices can be improved ahead of bigger occasions, most notably the World Cup Qualifiers and the 2026 FIFA World Cup itself.
We cannot say that the performances under the management of Julian Nagelsmann represent a failure, since he has helped the team reach an advanced stage in the UEFA Nations League.
Nevertheless, Germany’s performance against France confirmed that many improvements are needed, especially in the attacking phase.
Although Germany gave the impression of dominating the game, they were not able to score goals.
Therefore, this tactical analysis article will identify Germany’s attacking issues and explore potential short- and long-term solutions, whether from a tactical perspective or from individuals’ decision-making.
