Mohamed Salah is experiencing a bitter week with Liverpool, two title opportunities are passé. When the League Cup ended, the Egyptian catches one of his worst days in the Reds dress – as well as astonishing statistics.
Of all things, high-flyer Mohamed Salah shows a historically weak performance in the League Cup final against Newcastle United (1: 2) and the next title chance for Liverpool FC is a passé.
Salah, who was literally a guarantee for scorer points in the previous course of the season and always set records, disappointed against Newcastle across the board and had to take the next deep blow five days after the Champions League.

League Cup: bad values at Salah
For the first time in his career, the Egyptian, according to the data service provider Opta , stayed in the Liverpool dress (in a game over 90 minutes) without trying to shot and could not create a single chance of scoring.
“This week showed where Liverpool has to improve. The lack of speed is obvious, ”Reds icon Jamie Carragher became clear at Sky Sports .
As a reminder: In the previous course of the season, Salah scored a total of 32 goals across competition and was also able to contribute 22 templates. Suddenly nothing worked against Newcastle.
Bitter week for Salah
“Against PSG, he had the most probably the best left -back in the world against himself with Nuno Mendes – and today he was not good,” stated Carragher, who also affected Salah’s offensive colleagues.
“It’s no longer like Jürgen Klopp, where he had Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino next to him. The other Liverpool attackers are good players, but not great players, ”criticized Carragher.
Despite the latest setbacks, Liverpool heads for the championship in the Premier League with a 12 -point lead. It is still unclear whether Salah, whose contract expires after the season, is retained to the Arne Slot team.
