Arne Slot has commented on Mohamed Salah’s form ahead of Liverpool taking on Brentford.The Egyptian was dropped to the bench when Liverpool beat Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, and cut an unhappy figure after the full-time whistle on the back of a brief cameo appearance.Jamie Carragher has suggested that Salah has lost his edge this season, amid the winger failing to score in any of his last six appearances.Now, Slot has spoken about the 33-year-old’s dip in form during his pre-Brentford press conference.Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesArne Slot not worried about Mohamed Salah’s goalsAs per the BBC, the Dutchman commented on Salah’s dry spell but insisted he is not worried.He said: “Players miss chances and he is a human being. We are not used to him missing chances.“The main thing is that he always has scored goals for Liverpool.

The last thing I worry about is Mo scoring goals again. He’s done that his entire life and I expect him to do that again in the coming weeks and months.“Quite a few changes in the squad means everyone needs to find new connections.”Salah has never experienced such a long goal drought during his time at Anfield, and there has been a suggestion that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit has played a role.Liverpool signed two new full-backs this season, but neither have been in great form, with Slot also commenting on Milos Kerkez during his presser.Photo by Michael Regan/Getty ImagesArne Slot backs Milos Kerkez ahead of Liverpool facing BrentfordKerkez has been criticised in the Hungarian media following his move to England.But Slot thinks Cody Gakpo’s decision-making has played a role in the left-back’s difficult start.He said: “We brought him [Kerkez] in as he brings a lot of energy to the game by going up and down.

He has been unlucky that Cody [Gakpo] has used his main strength of coming inside and hitting the target.“We’ve shown clips to Cody where Milos was the right option. They need to find their connection better than they already do.”
