Liverpool manager Arne Slot reveals reason behind Salah's poor goal-scoring run

Mohamed Salah is aiming to avoid his worst scoreless streak in over two years, and Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, believes the Egyptian's smile will return soon.

The Liverpool star has struggled in the last couple of games, having failed to score, with his team grinding out results.

Salah hasn't gone four club games in a single season without scoring a goal since February 2023. While this isn't uncommon for most players, it's an anomaly for him.

However, his manager has backed him to get back to his goal-scoring form as the team edges closer to the Premier League title.

Slot reflects on Salah’s form

The 32-year-old, who has had a dry spell after failing to score against PSG, Newcastle and Everton, is hoping to break his goalless streak against Fulham on Sunday.

According to the Daily Mail, Slot said, “Sometimes the fixture list is more difficult than at other periods.

“PSG are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Newcastle were all over us in the Carabao final and Everton were so difficult with 10 people in their own 18-yard box all the time.

“I know Mo, he lives for goals. It would be weird if he was happy not scoring but probably his biggest quality is he can play a poor game and still score so his head is not all over the place.

“That is why he scores so many, because he wants it so much. Yes, there were probably periods this season he smiled a bit more but that's not just him, it's all the players.'

Mohamed Salah, with 27 goals this season, is the Premier League's top scorer. He is favored to win his fourth Golden Boot award, which would tie the record currently held by Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer.
