Liverpool saw their 13-game unbeaten run ended with a disappointing 3-2 reverse at Bournemouth on Saturday evening as they dropped out of the top 4 in dramatic fashion.
The Egyptian forward started in Liverpool’s shock defeat to Bournemouth and has now become been on the losing side in seven of his last eight Premier League starts.
This equals a dismal record set by club legend Dirk Kuyt during the club's struggles in 2012 under manager Brendan Rogers in a statistic which sums up Salah’s season so far under manager Arne Slot.
The Egyptian forward has been identified as one of the Saudi Pro League’s prime targets for the upcoming summer window, and it is looking increasingly likely that he will depart the Premier League after several extremely successful campaigns.
Many have called for the 33-year-old to be left out of the side, a tactics Slot used earlier this season before Salah went of to the Africa Cup of Nations. However, Liverpool have a real lack of attacking options to rely on.
Focus now switches to the Champions League, where Liverpool face Qarabag in the final game of the group phase. Slot and his side sit 4th in the table, and a draw would be enough to secure their place in the next round.
