Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah & Company 'Paid To Be Selfish'

Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah & Company 'Paid To Be Selfish'

Mohamed Salah & Sadio Mane

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has insisted that all of the forwards at the club are "paid to be selfish".

Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have been standout performers in the Premier League over the past few campaigns.

During that time, there have been some disagreements between the trio over missed chances, such as Mane's frustration at Salah for failing to pass to him against Burnley last season.

However, according to left-back Robertson, the attackers have a strong bond, and he believes they need to be selfish in front of goal.

"The relationship (between the forwards) off the pitch is really strong, and on the pitch, the link-up play and everything is always good," the Scotland captain told the Liverpool Echo.

"But these players are also paid to be selfish, and we need them to score goals and take risks in the final third, and we add (Diogo) Jota into that category now.

"When they are in front of goal, we expect them to shoot and score. There have been certain occasions where people say Bobby could have passed, Sadio could have passed, or Mo could have passed, but these guys are paid money to make split-second decisions and score goals for us."

Salah currently leads the pack with 10 goals across all competitions this season, while new signing, Jota, boasts nine, Mane is on five and Firmino has two strikes to his name.
