Arne Slot Confident in Mohamed Salah’s Current Liverpool Form
Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his confidence in Mohamed Salah’s ability to regain his scoring form. Salah, who was the team’s leading scorer last season with 29 goals, has had a challenging start this year with only three league goals so far.
Current Struggles for Liverpool
Despite significant investment in new attacking talent, Liverpool has struggled to replicate its successful title-winning performance. The club spent approximately £415 million on player acquisitions over the summer.
Recent Match Highlights
In a recent match against Manchester United, Liverpool faced a disappointing defeat at Anfield. Following this, Salah was benched during a 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Slot made tactical adjustments to incorporate new signings, including Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, into the lineup.
Expectations for Salah
- Salah has not scored a non-penalty goal in his last seven Premier League appearances.
- This marks his longest goal drought since joining Liverpool in 2017.
Slot emphasized that he has faith in Salah’s ability to score goals, stating, “The last thing I worry about is Mo scoring goals again.” He also noted the potential impact of changes in the squad dynamics, particularly with the departure of right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.
Looking Ahead
The manager suggested that Salah’s previous chemistry with Alexander-Arnold might have affected his current form. He remains hopeful that Salah will find his rhythm again as the season progresses.
As Liverpool approaches its next match against Brentford, the club and its supporters are eager to see Salah return to his prolific scoring form. The coming weeks will be crucial for both Salah and the team as they navigate their current challenges and aim to improve their performance in the league.
