Salah Will Rediscover His Goalscoring Form Eventually – Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has backed Mohamed Salah to rediscover his goalscoring form. He recently insisted that the Egyptian always scores in the end, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, people are only surprised when Salah doesn’t score after a few matches because of the very high standards he has set for himself over the years.

Slot added that the entirety of his attack needs to improve because Ekitike and Gakpo haven’t scored enough in recent times.

His words, “He set his own standards and those are so, so, so high and the moment he doesn’t score for a few games people are immediately surprised — that is the biggest compliment he can get.

With data you can use it to your advantage or disadvantage but not to use the FA Cup game — if we play a Premier League side — you could argue if that is fair.

But that’s the way it works: if we want to highlight something really positive we try to forget one or two games and if we want to highlight something negative we can try to forget one or two games as well.

Three games ago he had an assist and a goal against a very good Premier League team Brighton, so that is the reality, and then you can change data and say he did not score in nine Premier League games.

That is the standard he sets for himself and that is why people are surprised when things like that happen.

We are used to Mo scoring a lot of goals and at this moment in time that is maybe the biggest difference in his performance and game time.

But we also know this has happened before, I don’t know if it happened nine games in a row but I’ve had these questions earlier if didn’t score for three or five but I know in the end he always starts scoring again.

That is the challenge he has and we have now to make sure he starts scoring again.

He is not our only attacker at this moment in time that doesn’t score as much as we are used to.

The focus is totally on him because of everything he did for the club but Hugo [Ekitike] and Cody [Gakpo] haven’t scored that many goals recently as well. It is a team thing which we have to improve.

The good thing is we keep clean sheets so they don’t need to score as many, although against Qarabag we scored six and scored four against Newcastle.”

WOW.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
