What's Wrong With Salah?

We can’t categorically tell you who’s madder about Mo Salah’s
form so far this season – his Fantasy Premier League owners or
the owners of Liverpool who just made him the highest-earning
footballer in the club’s history.

For the past 4 seasons, one word that has constantly been used to
describe Salah is inevitable. You didn’t know how or when he
would do it, but you just knew that Salah would always find a way
to get a goal contribution no matter how badly Liverpool were
playing. It’s no wonder the Egyptian has won 3 Premier League
Golden Boots and 1 Playmaker award since joining Liverpool in
2017.

But since he got the 350k contract he had been asking for, it
seems like we started seeing a completely different Salah. 6
games in and the Egyptian King is nowhere close in the Golden
Boot race with only 2 goals scored. It is very unlike him.

It’s easy to blame it totally on Liverpool being bad this season,
but even when every Liverpool player was excellent against
Bournemouth, Salah was still distinctly bad. 8 different outfield
players got, at least, a goal or an assist that day, but Salah
was not one of them.

So, why has he been that bad? What really is wrong with Salah?
