Arne Slot says he is not worried about the recent goal drought of Mohamed Salah and expects he will bounce back after his “non-human” season.
This season, Salah has played a key role in Liverpool's Premier League title winnings and is currently leading both the score and the assistant charts with only one match.
He has delivered 28 goals and provided 18 assists, with his 46 targeted involvement this term only one for the record of 47 of all time, in the hands of Andrew Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95).
Salah also seemed to beat the record help in a single campaign, 20, held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
However, the Egyptian has passed somewhat of a mini-cover lately, with only one goal and one assist for his last eight Premier League matches.
On Monday he seemed the same as the targeted Tally against Brighton, but Side-Footed a low cross just wide from meter in Liverpool's surprise 3-2 defeat.
“The first thought that goes through my head when I see a ball moving to Mo, I am like:” It is a fairly big chance, this can lead to a goal “because that is what Mo normally does,” said Slot.
“He has been almost inhumane this season, but there were times in the season that he was human.
“So it's not the first time he doesn't score for one or two games in a row, but the good for us is that this almost never happens, and if it happens, you know for sure that he will score again in the third or fourth match.”
The defeat of Liverpool against Brighton means that they are the first side to be crowned Premier League champions and then did not win their next three games in the competition in the same season (D1 L2).
It was also the first time that they lost a top match, who led during the break since December 2016 (a loss of 4-3 for Bournemouth), which ended a point of 156 games.
However, they only became the third side in the history of Premier League to score in 100% of their away games in one season after both Arsenal and Manchester United did this in 2001-02.
Slot remained cheerful about their performance this term despite the loss, and said it proved how well they had performed in 2024-25.
“We won this competition because we have been so consistent, we did so many things well, but we didn't win it in a way like [Manchester] City did it for the past four seasons, where they could just close their eyes and they were even 4-0 up, “he added.
“We have been very close in terms of quality with all the teams with which we have compete with. That is why it is such a big compliment that we have won this competition with such a large margin, because the quality margins do not differ so much between us and some other teams.
“Especially because we have also had injuries all season. Now with 12 Leiden is a big compliment for our players.”
