A journalist with over a decade's worth of experience, he has worked at the ECHO since 2016.It hasn't been the start to the season that either Liverpool or Mohamed Salah would have been expecting.This time last year the Egyptian had just scored his seventh goal of the campaign in the Reds' 2-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield, but on Sunday he was dragged off the pitch as Liverpool trailed by the same scoreline to Manchester United.This time around Salah has scored just three goals by October 20, with one of those a penalty deep in stoppage time at Burnley.

We're not quite there yet, but the midweek trip to Germany is looming large as one of the most important games of the Dutchman's Reds reign now.Four successive defeats simply can't be tolerated at the Premier League champions, and Slot has to change things for Wednesday night, including dropping Mo Salah.It just isn't happening for the Egyptian right now, and there's a real lack of dynamism and threat coming from Liverpool's third highest goalscorer of all-time.
