"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. 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."
"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."
Mohamed Salah is experiencing his longest Premier League goalscoring drought since joining Liverpool in 2017, having not scored in nine top-flight matches since early November. Manager Arne Slot remains confident in the Egyptian forward's ability to rediscover his form, emphasizing that Salah's high standards make any scoring drought noteworthy. Slot notes that Salah recently contributed a goal and assist against Brighton, demonstrating he remains productive. The manager acknowledges that while Salah's reduced goalscoring is the main difference in his performance, similar droughts have occurred previously and have always been followed by a return to prolific scoring. Slot indicates this is a challenge for both Salah and the team to address.
