Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool season was littered with impressive milestones, but the team’s productive talisman is in danger of telling an undesirable landmark.
The permanent Egyptian has failed or helped in each of his last three appearances for Liverpool. Salah did not play four consecutive games for the Reds in more than four years without contributing to a single goal.
During this blade, Liverpool was emitted by Paris Saint-Germain from the Champions League and convincingly defeated by Newcastle United in the final of the Carabao Cup. The Reds managed to squeeze past Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, but Salah was shaken again on the periphery.
The Liverpool boss Arne Slot used the caliber of the youngest opponents of his side to explain Salah’s drought. “Sometimes the game list is more difficult than in other times,” argued the Dutch boss.
“PSG is currently one of the best teams in Europe. Newcastle was everywhere in the Carabao final and Everton was so difficult with ten people in their own 18-yard box all the time.
“I know Mo, he lives according to goals. It would be strange if he were happy not to score, but it is probably his greatest quality that he can play a bad game and still score so that his head is not everywhere.
“That’s why he hits so many because he wants it so much. Yes, there were probably times this season that he smiled a little more, but that’s not just him, they are all players.”
The last time Salah had a distance of four games without a goal or assist in the spring of 2021.
