Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, has admitted that the alterations made to the team’s forward line this season have unnerved him

In addition to bringing in Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven this summer to help cover for Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz’s injuries, the Reds also sold Senegal international Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich during the summer and replaced him with Darwin Nunez.

With only seven goals in the first half of the season, Salah, who had 23 goals and 14 assists the previous year, has yet to reach his peak. Klopp acknowledged that Salah had been affected by the demise of Liverpool’s illustrious front three, which included Salah, Firmino, and Mane.

Klopp responded, “Oh sure, of course he is hurting. “The front three were well-drilled machines, and everything we did was clear.

‘It is a specific offensive play that takes a lot of effort and knowledge—knowledge that isn’t always obvious. You construct an impression of many of these things, including your teammate’s location and the best places to pass the ball without looking. Although that is not cool, we cannot just expect to play at our peak, win 5-0, and go on to the next game. Working hard is required. We must do it even though no one wants to hear it.’

Gakpo’s addition has given Liverpool’s assault a new element, albeit one that is still developing, but Klopp once more blamed the Dutchman’s early troubles on the absence of rhythm in his entire forward line.
