LONDON, July 29, 2018 (News Wires) - Mohamed Salah is capable of delivering another season chock full of goals at Liverpool but his supporting cast must pick up the slack to ease the burden on the Egyptian forward, midfielder James Milner has said. Salah scored 44 goals in 52 games for Liverpool as they reached the Champions League final and finished fourth in the Premier League. "He is more than capable of doing that. There is pressure when you have had one good year to deliver again but he is a top player ... He's going to keep on improving," Milner told reporters. "We need to keep improving as a side with him as well, and make sure that all the pressure is not on his shoulders to deliver goals and get us out of tough situations. " Apart from the departed Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were the only other Liverpool players to surpass the 10-goal mark last season with 27 and 20 goals. Meanwhile, Salah insists his shoulder is feeling 'much better' as he looks to replicate his stunning debut season at Liverpool. The reigning PFA Player of the Year is currently with his club team-mates on their pre-season tour of the United States following a disappointing World Cup campaign in which Egypt finished bottom of their group. Salah headed home the equalising goal just 52 seconds after being introduced as a second-half replacement for Curtis Jones during Liverpool's 2-1 International Champions Cup victory over Manchester City in New Jersey on Thursday morning. Such an instant impact helped to soothe any lingering fears over a troublesome shoulder problem, which saw him substituted intears after less than half an hour of the Champions League final in May. That issue also caused Salah to miss Egypt's opening fixture in Russia, yet the player claims he is better and not feeling any additional pressure to perform after scoring 44 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions last term. 'I am very happy to be back,' he told Liverpool TV. 'I feel good and my shoulder is much better. I'm very happy to be back in the squad. 'Last year I had a great season – everyone, not just me. When people talk about myself, yes there is some pressure because it was a record and we also have to improve in the Champions League and finish in a better position in the Premier League.
