Liverpool manager Klopp solves Salah funk: Copy Mane!

Jurgen Klopp says hard work is the only thing that can break Mohamed Salah's goalscoring funk.

The Egyptian has not scored in his last seven appearances.

And Klopp has urged Salah to try and emulate the work-rate of teammate Sadio Mane in order to find his form.

He told the club's website:"Sadio played pretty much always like this but now he is always in the right spot in the right moment. In football it's sometimes like this.

"The only thing he did when he was not always in the right spot was work and work and work. That's exactly what Mo [Salah] has to do, exactly the same: just work, do the right things and it will come again.

"He's just rather unlucky, where Sadio is lucky in the moment – he is in brilliant shape, that's true.

"But then, he is in the right shape and maybe a yard away from him is Mo, but somebody else scored; the cross from Robbo [at Fulham], I'm pretty sure Mo would have scored if Gini doesn't get the ball. These moments… I was a striker, I had that as well, you think, 'Oh' and then somebody else missed the chance. That's how it is, all good."
