Headline Numbers

The Egyptian king is still just that at Anfield. The 2023/24 season has been another eventful chapter in Mohamed Salah’s illustrious career. Salah’s performance across various competitions for Liverpool has been a mixed bag, showcasing moments of sheer brilliance earlier in the season, while also facing some challenges and questions the later it went. Let’s dive into the key statistics that defined his 3130 minutes this season.

Overall Performances:– Premier League: 32 matches, 18 goals, 7 assists– Europa League: 9 matches, 5 goals, 4 assists– EFL Cup: 2 matches, 1 goal– FA Cup: 1 match, no goals or assists– Total: 44 matches, 25 goals, 14 assists

Biggest High

As ever, he had many but Salah’s standout performance this season came in the thrilling 4-2 victory over Newcastle at Anfield. In this match, he demonstrated why he remains one of the most feared attackers in the league. Salah scored twice and provided an assist, earning a stellar Whoscored.com rating of 9.5 and he could have had more on both columns. In h8s last appearance before AFCON, his ability to terrorise defences with his pace, skill, and finishing was on full display, and it was a reminder of his top-tier quality.

Biggest Low

Despite many high points, the season also had its lows. He’s offered little in the run in truth be told and Salah’s most disappointing moment was in the 2-2 draw to West Ham. Being introduced to the proceedings late after a dismal performance in the derby and visibly frustrated on the sideline, it culminated in a heated exchange with manager Jürgen Klopp on the touchline. His Whoscored.com rating for this match was a season-low 5.99, reflecting his uncharacteristically poor showing. It was chip paper for a day but it reflected where we were at the time.

Overall Thoughts

Reflecting on Salah’s season, it’s evident that he continues to be one of the vital players for Liverpool, contributing significantly with goals and assists. However, the drop in performances towards the end of the season, raises questions about his future. With only a year left on his contract and Klopp’s departure, the upcoming transfer window could be pivotal for Salah and Liverpool. The next season should see Salah focusing on regaining his best form and maintaining consistency throughout the campaign, as he tweeted. The summer break will be crucial for him to rest and refocus and let’s hope there’s no Olympic adventure. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation will need to be addressed promptly to avoid distractions. Either way that needs resolved as quickly as possible.
