The Great Salah Debate: Setting the Bar High
Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, has a unique take on Mohamed Salah's recent goal drought. He says, "Salah has set his own incredibly high standards. So high that when he doesn't score for a few games, it's a surprise. That's the ultimate compliment." But here's where it gets controversial: Slot reminds us that Salah had an assist and a goal against Brighton in the FA Cup just three games ago. So, is the drought a real concern, or just a blip on the radar?
