Klopp says Salah still outstanding despite goalless run

The Egyptian star is in the midst of his joint longest goal drought since joining the 'reds' from Roma in 2017. However it is only a spell of three games and his manager is unconcerned.

Despite his sub-par performance against PSG on Wednesday Klopp said Salah's dip in form was only temporary: 

"The defensive side the last two games were outstanding, perfect," he said.

"It is so important in these games especially. That says everything about him that he is really ready to work for the team in these moments.

"It is a completely normal for an offensive player when you have times that you don't score. He is still a threat, made fantastic situations in both our last games. He is in a good shape.

"Finishing is something you can never take for granted."

In fact the nominee for the Fifa Best award has the same number of goals he did this time last season. In response to this Klopp quipped:"Wow that is a crisis! Nobody remembers that. It is really not a problem."
