Amidst a swirl of speculation surrounding his star forward, Liverpool's new boss, Arne Slot, has chosen a path of unwavering calm. The topic on everyone's mind is Mohamed Salah's recent dip in form, a narrative further fueled by the Egyptian's curious decision to remove all traces of Liverpool from his social media accounts following a European fixture.

Yet, when the inevitable question arose in the press room, Slot's response was not one of panic, but of profound assurance. He projected an almost casual confidence, framing the situation not as a crisis, but as an inevitable lull before the storm of goals returns.

With the conviction of a man who has studied the history books, Slot dismissed any notion of concern. "Worried? I'm not," he stated, his focus seemingly elsewhere. For him, the idea that Salah might have permanently lost his scoring touch isn't just a minor worry—it's the absolute "last thing" on his mind.

His reasoning was simple and rooted in the relentless logic of legacy. "The important thing is that Mo has always scored goals for our club," Slot explained, as if reminding everyone of a fundamental truth. He painted Salah's goal-scoring prowess not as a fleeting skill, but as an intrinsic part of his identity, something he has done "his whole life."

In Slot's view, the past is the most reliable predictor of the future. The current silence from Salah's social media and the temporary quiet in front of the net are, for the manager, merely a prelude. His final words were not a hope, but an expectation: "that’s exactly what I expect him to do once more." It was a clear message that at Liverpool, the story of Mohamed Salah is far from over; in the manager's eyes, the next chapter is already written, and it's filled with goals.
