Guess it depends on the quality of chances / shots allowed by the opposition.
If Ronaldo shoots from outside the box half the time but almost always hits the target, his shot conversion rate will take a massive drop. Kane also takes shots from a lot of different angles, in and outside the box.
Salah is usually presented with very high quality chances in and around the 6 yard box. That's something we actually do really well, we do create a fair amount of really good chances. He rarely shoots from outside the box, something other players on that list do. The number looks good, but if half his chances are sitters and if we're fair, a decent amount are, then that shot conversion rate still isn't
that good. I'm sure that if he improves just slightly, he can get that shot conversion rate around 30%. He needs to work on the way he actually heads a ball. He seems to just let it hit his head rather than actually trying to direct it.
But no real complaints from me, he has been massive so far this season. Hopefully he can keep it up and manages to put away some more of the easy chances he's currently missing. No surprise for me that he's doing this well, absolutely loved him at Roma.
