Is Liverpool's management regretting the decision to renew with Mohamed Salah?
It seems that the glorious days Mohamed Salah lived with Liverpool are going through a difficult phase, after the Egyptian star continued his lackluster performances in the English Premier League.
Criticism escalated against Mohamed Salah following his team's loss to Chelsea 2-1 in the past round of the competition.
The match that Liverpool lost caused them to forfeit the top spot in the standings to Arsenal, and renewed questions about Salah's physical and technical readiness, after he failed once again to make any notable attacking contribution, whether scoring or assisting.
Salah's Worst Start Ever
Statistically, Salah is experiencing one of his worst starts since joining Liverpool in 2017, as he has not scored or assisted in more than consecutive matches, with his total contributions reaching 6 goals (3 goals scored and 3 assists) in 10 matches.
Some believe that Salah's crisis is not technical or due to the decisions of Arne Slot, the head coach, but rather there are many issues related to mental and physical fatigue.
Years of continuous competitive play without rest have made Mohamed Salah need to re-evaluate his current stage with the team before things worsen.
Was Liverpool Management Right?
Last season, there was a lot of tug-of-war between Liverpool's management and Mohamed Salah regarding renewal, as the management preferred to extend his contract for only one season, due to fears of his level declining with age.
However, Salah and his representatives insisted on a contract extending for two seasons, which the club eventually agreed to, in response to fan and technical management pressure.
It appears that the Reds' management's opinion was sound, as 'Mo' has not yet delivered his usual level, and has appeared in matches with a clear sluggishness that differs from past seasons.
