Mohamed Salah no longer untouchable for Jürgen Klopp

For some seasons, Mohamed Salah was such a fundamental part of Liverpool that he played every game they had throughout the year, and it was difficult for the Egyptian to miss a single minute, as his incredible strength in front of goal and his high percentage of assists were a guarantee of an English victory, but for this 2022 this has changed as he is no longer an untouchable player for Jürgen Klopp, who is now looking for that reference point to save them from the crisis in which they are immersed.

Like all his teammates, Salah has also been severely criticised for his team's poor start in the English league, being singled out as an inoperative player without Sadio Mané by his side, as his statistics for this 2022 are far below the numbers delivered in previous years where he looked like one of the best scorers and assisters of the competition.

Although the positive percentages today do not accompany the Egyptian, Jürgen Klopp still has the confidence to start in the games, as happened on date one of the Champions League against Napoli, but with the passing of the minutes, the doubts in the German coach began to emerge and his change was imminent after 60 minutes to forget, entering Diogo Jota, another player who is expected to have a great performance when he is already back.

Although at the moment there has not been a team to put Liverpool in serious trouble as Napoli did, it may be likely that at some point Salah will see more than one occasion on the bench even with the game in progress, as his poor football in recent weeks, coupled with the recovery of some elements, may end in the Egyptian's worst season since he has played at Anfield.

<strong>Salah not playing well</strong>

The advantage the Egyptian has this year is the length of the competitions in which his team participates, having still time to get back on track and not be relegated to the bench as a second half option, as happens today with Roberto Firmino who fulfils that role within the Reds.
