The Mohamed Salah goal drought is an issue of conversation at Liverpool FC, yet the head coach Arne Slot believes that the forward will soon regain his scoring habit in the Premier League.
Salah has not scored in the club since the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in November. His nine consecutive season without a goal is the longest since he had joined Liverpool in 2017. Nonetheless, the coaching staff is of the opinion that the situation is temporary.
Slot explained the expectations involving Mohamed Salah as very high. He added that over the years, Salah developed these standards as a result of his regular performances. Due to this, even a moment of lack of goals draws attention.
The Liverpool coach has mentioned that statistics are deceptive. He mentioned that Salah has just scored a goal and an assist against Brighton. The forward still has some ability to make a difference in matches, as proven in that performance.
Slot also reminded the viewers that Salah has been through rough times. The Egyptian attacker was in condition to recuperate and get back to his feet every time. The manager anticipates such response within the next few weeks.
Salah has already scored four and provided six assists in the league during this season. Such figures are not as high as his standard output. Yet still Liverpool are so dependent on his experience and attacking movement.
The title prospects of Liverpool might rely on Salah regaining his goal scoring abilities. Once he gains confidence in the near future, the strength of the attacking team will be enhanced greatly.
