Liverpool’s Slot Backs Salah To End Premier League Drought

So, so, so high and the moment he doesn’t score for a few games people are immediately surprised — that is the biggest compliment he can get,” Slot said.

“With data you can use it to your advantage or disadvantage but not to use the FA Cup game — if we play a Premier League side — you could argue if that is fair. But that’s the way it works: if we want to highlight something really positive we try to forget one or two games and if we want to highlight something negative we can try to forget one or two games as well.

had these questions earlier if didn’t score for three or five but I know in the end he always starts scoring again. That is the challenge he has and we have now to make sure he starts scoring again.

“He is not our only attacker at this moment in time that doesn’t score as much as we are used to. The focus is totally on him because of everything he did for the club but Hugo [Ekitike] and Cody [Gakpo] haven’t scored that many goals recently as well. It is a team thing which we have to improve. The good thing is we keep clean sheets so they don’t need to score as many, although against Qarabag we scored six and scored four against Newcastle.”
