Mohamed Salah looked like he was back at his best when Liverpool beat Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

The Premier League clash was held at Anfield with the Reds beating Unai Emery’s men 2-0.

Salah was the one who opened the scoring for Arne Slot’s men, with Ryan Gravenberch netting their second.

And, even though Salah put in one of his best Liverpool performances so far, he admitted he still wasn’t happy with his form throughout the rest of the season.

Mohamed Salah admits that Liverpool’s players still need to adapt to one another

Liverpool’s £450 million spend in the summer transfer window was something that most people thought would make them unstoppable.

However, that’s been far from the case with none of the Reds’ first-team squad used to how one another plays just yet.

Last term, Slot’s men had been together for some time, with each player knowing where the other would be running and how they played in-game.

This term, the transition period has really kicked in with Salah even admitting that it’s been “tricky” for him to deal with.

“No [I am not happy], I said this from the beginning. I played football for many years. It’s a tricky season for us because we have a few new players,” he said to TNT Sports.

“Very good signings, but they need time to adapt to the team.

“We also lost a lot of good players as well. We just need time to adapt and know each other’s games, and everything will be fine.”

Mohamed Salah must get back to scoring for Liverpool

Ever since Salah joined Liverpool from Roma, he’s been the player that fans have looked towards for a glimmer of hope.

He’s often provided that, but this season, it feels like he’s only just starting to get into the swing of things.

For most attackers, Salah’s start wouldn’t look out of the ordinary, or even bad for that matter, but since his returns have often been mind-boggling, it feels like he’s performed well below par.

Indeed, a lot of this will have to do with the poor form of Liverpool’s team as a whole, but if Salah can get back to his best and start netting a goal or two per week, most of the Reds’ issues would be solved.

Here’s hoping that Saturday’s performance against the Villans gives him the confidence boost he needs.
