Despite being the standout player in the Premier League last season, winning both the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards, Salah hasn't quite hit the same form this campaign.The 33-year-old hasn't found the back of the net in his last four outings for the Reds, and failed to register a goal contribution in Liverpool's consecutive losses to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea.READ MORE: Alexander Isak in 'better position' after Newcastle exit as Liverpool star offers fitness updateREAD MORE: Jeremie Frimpong takes swipe at Spurs 'sore loser' as Liverpool star causes immediate stirAfter a particularly disappointing performance at Stamford Bridge, it's no surprise that he's facing increased scrutiny outside of Anfield.Salah at least responded perfectly when he joined up with his national team, scoring a well-taken brace in Egypt's latest outing. Each of the three right-backs brings different skills to the role and plays it in their own unique way.Liverpool's attack has been slightly more stable, but Salah still stands alongside new teammates he has to get used to in the frontline.A front three of Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo has been Slot's preferred choice for most of the season, starting together six times.



I knew their game very well, but with Hugo, he's still new. So I will figure it out soon because also it's going to help my game to grow as well."Liverpool are working tirelessly behind the scenes at their training ground to build a strong rapport between their new-look attack.And Ekitike has now shed light on how Salah is going above and beyond to help him settle in, improve his game, and speed up the process."It's really good," he responded when quizzed by BBC Sport about playing alongside Salah.

I was watching him on TV when he was scoring the goals and stuff but he is a really great athlete."You can just improve yourself and learn from him. More cool than what I have seen on TV because sometimes you see straight face and stuff so I thought he was cold... someone who doesn't talk a lot."He is really open, like all of the guys here.
