Slot unfazed by Salah goal drought

ByEnigma 808

Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed confidence that Mohamed Salah will regain his scoring form despite the forward failing to find the net in six consecutive matches for the club. The Egyptian striker has not converted a Premier League goal from open play since the season opener and sat on the bench when his team defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in Champions League play this week. Slot acknowledged that players miss chances but remains certain that Salah will rediscover his effectiveness in the upcoming fixtures.

The Dutch coach suggested squad changes over the summer affected player connections across the roster. Liverpool spent roughly 450 million pounds on transfers after winning last season’s title. Injuries and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure to Real Madrid forced the team to experiment with different defenders at right back.

Salah has scored twice in eight league appearances this campaign after claiming the Golden Boot award last year. Liverpool dropped three straight Premier League contests and sits fourth in the standings. The team faces Brentford on Saturday without injured players Jeremie Frimpong and Alisson Becker.
