The Liverpool midfielder believes his teammate needs to be selfish if heÃ¢Â€Â™s to keep up his goal scoring numbers

Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain expects colleague Mohamed Salah to keep being selfish, so long he keeps scoring the goals to win the side games.

The Egyptian luminary was on the receiving end of criticism from Sadio Mane in the RedsÃ¢Â€Â™ 3-0 victory over Burnley on August 31 owing to his failure to pass the ball on numerous occasions to better positioned teammates at Turf Moor.

Speaking on Football FocusÃ¢Â€Â™ Ã¢Â€ÂœFinish the SentenceÃ¢Â€Â, the EnglishmanÃ¢Â€Â™s response when asked to complete the sentence: Ã¢Â€ÂœMohamed Salah isnÃ¢Â€Â™t selfish becauseÃ¢Â€Â¦Ã¢Â€Â he told BBC Sport: "Isn't selfish? Are you winding me up?

Ã¢Â€ÂœThe guy doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t pass to us. Are you mad ask Sadio,Ã¢Â€Â he added.

Ã¢Â€ÂœNo, Mo Salah isnÃ¢Â€Â™t selfish because heÃ¢Â€Â™s a goalscorer. HeÃ¢Â€Â™s got to do that.

Ã¢Â€ÂœWe canÃ¢Â€Â™t expect him to pass us the ball all the time and him to score loads of goals.

Ã¢Â€ÂœThe way he plays wins us games, so heÃ¢Â€Â™s got to do what heÃ¢Â€Â™s got to do.

Ã¢Â€ÂœHe scores, we win the game. IÃ¢Â€Â™m happy. Mo, do what you want!Ã¢Â€Â

Salah is likely to start for Jurgen KloppÃ¢Â€Â™s side when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.

Liverpool sit top of the log after five games, and could maintain their 100 percent record with a win over Frank LampardÃ¢Â€Â™s troops as they seek a sixth successive victory.
