Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah worked his way back into Arne Slot’s starting lineup after a brief exit, but he continues to concern Kopites with a poor record in front of goal, now failing to score in 10 straight games.
As relayed by Centre Goals, despite Liverpool dominating relegation candidates West Ham United 5-2 this weekend with three goal contributions from Hugo Ekitike, Salah failed to get involved in the party on the right wing, now making it a personal record 10 straight games without a goal in a Premier League game for the Egyptian icon.
It is a career worst for Salah, who is one of the greatest players in Premier League history but has not looked like it this season. Salah’s dribbling ability and speed have noticeably taken a huge hit, as Father Time has very much caught up with the 33 year old superstar.
Salah has scored just 4 goals in 20 games in total this season. His creative numbers with 6 assists and more than 2 key passes per game are solid, but everything else about his game on the right wing has declined, particularly his explosiveness and one on one ability.
And now the goals are going down, too. Liverpool fans have to be increasingly concerned that this is the end for Salah, and the Saudi Pro League is definitely beckoning at this point.
