Slot backs Salah to find shooting boots for Liverpool | OneFootball

Arne Slot has said ‘the last thing’ he is worried about is Mohamed Salah scoring goals again for Liverpool.

Salah has endured a difficult start to the season and has failed to score from open play in seven Premier League appearances, the longest run of his career with Liverpool.

The Egyptian was dropped to the bench for the midweek win at Eintracht Frankfurt, before missing a good chance after his introduction as a substitute.

Salah this week removed Liverpool-related content from areas of his social media in response to criticism he has faced online.

It comes just months after the 33-year-old inspired Liverpool to the Premier League title, winning the PFA Player of the Year award and Golden Boot among his honours.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s trip to Brentford, Slot has backed Salah to find his form. He said the winger has scored goals his ‘entire life’ and that he is confident the goals will soon start to flow again.

“Players miss chances and he is a human being. We are not used to him missing chances,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference.

“The main thing is that he always has scored goals for Liverpool. The last thing I worry about is Mo scoring goals again. He’s done that his entire life and I expect him to do that again in the coming weeks and months.

“Quite a few changes in the squad means everyone needs to find new connections.”
