Salah's form is Slot's 'last worry' but Liverpool star's petulance should be his biggest
Liverpool honchos Arne Slot is not regarded that Mohamed Salah hasn’t scored a Premier League purpose from open tinker in his last seven arcades. He arguably have to be.
The Egyptian international is sustaining his worst spell in front of purpose for Liverpool, doning seven succeeding Premier League complements without scoring a non-fine purpose — his lengthiest touch for the bar taking into reflection that signing upward doning in 2017.
Mohamed Salah in 2025/26: The inside information 👇
- Salah has 3 objectives and 3 helps in 12 complements across all occasions this period
- This time last year, Salah had seven objectives and seven helps
- His single open tinker purpose in the 25/26 Premier League came on Matchday One
- Salah ‘stropped’ down the corridor at full-time after being decreased midweek
Salah has been vastly unsatisfactory this period, doning his below-par digits just the pointer of the iceberg. Overall, his payment to the staff has been low.
As a collaborative, Liverpool have launched the period poorly despite endearing their opening six arcades across all occasions.
Their first loss of the project came at Crystal Palace and was equalized doning by 3 successive beats against Galatasaray, Chelsea and Manchester United.
They obtained back to endearing typicals in the Victors League against Frankfurt on Wednesday but Salah launched on the bench after an confidential capability against United 3 days previously.

Salah losing his detect in Slot’s releasing line upward-upward was overdue, and how he reacted to the verdict was petulant and downright embarrassing for a 33-year-ratty, swapping his X profile think of from him arranging the Premier League prize for a snap of him and his two spawn and his Liverpool-themed header to a raw grey background.
Some could attribute this to the injustice he gleaned from some brainless ‘supporters’, who proved just how unpredictable the football expanse can be.
And a taking into reflection that-eliminated X post from Day-to-day Mail press reporter Lewis Steele claimed: ‘Mo Salah uncolored down the corridor at FT. Boatloads and lots of positives to steal from this night for Liverpool but he gazed in a strop.’

Arne Slot not perturbed around Mo Salah kind 🗣️
Queried around Salah’s worst sprinted in front of purpose for the Reds, head educator Slot claimed it is “the last thing I misgiving around”.
“The systematic thing is that he always has scored objectives for Liverpool,” Slot told a press meeting on Friday.
“The last thing I misgiving around is Mo scoring objectives over again. He’s done that his entire life and I mean him to tote out that over again in the upcoming weeks and months.
“Overall in football, players miss chances and he is a human being. We are not sold to him missing out on chances.”
Is Salah missing out on Trent Alexander-Arnold? 🤔
Of training course. He arguably is. And Slot isn’t ruling that out as a contributing determinant to Salah’s sluggish-gliding overture to the project.
“It could be a determinant [no Alexander-Arnold] as he messed around his entire Liverpool job [up to this season] doning him, but he has been in tempting placements to rating objectives,” Slot claimed.
“Overall, pretty a few variations in the staff from the summertime season ordinary every individual needs to position brand-new-made relationships over again. It could have something to tote out doning that.”
Why Slot have to be perturbed around ‘stroppy’ Salah 👇
You’d ordinarily back somebody of Salah’s center to reappeared stronger, but it’s a sprinted of 5 objectives in his last 23 arcades, which alarmingly integrates doning the renewal of his covenant. We’re not accusing any individual of downing tools…we vouch.
At 33 years ratty, it runs out upward being arduous to back Salah reoccuring the heights of 2024/25, once he scored 29 and guided 18 in the Premier League as Liverpool won the title at a canter.
Despite endearing the league so well, this period has come to be something of a readjust for the Reds, which we intended to exam once long-term supervisor Jurgen Klopp was replaced by Slot last summertime season.
Instead, Liverpool had Slot job doning the structures staked by Klopp and once it was translucent the bar had an elite, title-endearing supervisor, they endorsed him doning over £400million in brand-new-made finalizings.
Established on doning combining a series of pricey players under pricey pressure to be effective, Slot has taken care of and Liverpool have been manipulated, while Salah has come to be a prey of a regain that he doesn’t want to be a seated of.
Salah’s dissatisfactions plainly obtained the much more explained of him after being decreased against Frankfurt and a groin injury to Alexander Isak have to exam him reinstated to the releasing XI against Brentford on Saturday, which is a information exacerbating as the 33-year-ratty deleting his social media account totally would’ve been juicy.
But doning any kind of Liverpool objection comes the have to sympathise doning a staff full of players grieving the loss of one of their associates and colleagues.
Diogo Jota’s ephemeral will have had an unexplainable clout on every Reds player, and Salah’s feelings after a poignant opening night against Bournemouth proved just that.
These players (who are human, by the way), are practically granted a unshackle hit and are exempt from objection this period. You’d have to have a heart gained of stone to merely slide on and tinker your arcade commonly after being compelled to tackle something so destroying.
Rile triumphes consequent Jota’s casualty was never ever participating in steal room, and it’s totally justifiable that Salah’s stress and anxiety in kind could be down to being emotionally wrecked consequently of the loss of a close pal.
