Starting to keep his coronation of champion of England after the start of the canon season, Liverpool was at the top of the Premier League with five victories in five matches, in addition to a successful first C1 match against Atlético de Madrid (3-2). But since September, Arne Slot's formation has had a serious soft stroke marked by a first setback collected in the last minutes at Crystal Palace, before the Reds miss their match on the Galatasaray lawn on the second day of the Champions League (0-1).
Same thing on Saturday evening on the lawn of Chelsea (1-2), with a third defeat in a row which begins to highlight the big offensive gaps of the Reds, and inevitably, the star Mohamed Salah (28 years old) is pointed out. Mute for three games, the Egyptian worried in the game. “Mohamed Salah does not lead his team to victory like last year. It is a major concern, especially when his teammates in attack lack regularity ”indicated the Daily Mail in its edition of the day.
Mohamed Salah has completely lost its effectiveness
“He should have better exploited certain passes, notably for Florian Wirtz, and wasted several occasions. It seems out of the time for the moment. It becomes worrying “indicates the Liverpool Echo. “Mohamed Salah seems to regret Trent Alexander-Arnold and have not yet found his marks in a line of attack in full mutation. All this gives the impression that the balance of the team is not there “add The Independentwhile the Mirror evokes his lack of realism in front of the goal, first in the 47th minute, then at the 65th where he missed one of the best occasions for the Reds.
While his form worried with 5 goals in his last 21 games with Liverpool, Arne Slot wanted to defend him: “He has had many opportunities to do what he has done so often, but he is a human being and it is not as if each opportunity he has systematically materialized. We sometimes have the impression that it is because of what he did last season, and on many occasions, but he can also have opportunities, often in advantageous positions, without marking or delivering a decisive pass “. Mohamed Salah will have to return to better form after the international break.
