Usually, Mohamed Salah breaking one of his records means good things for Liverpool, but not this most recent Premier League first.
After blanking against Nottingham Forest, it’s now nine games without a goal for the Egyptian.
The players are going to be let off that bit more thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s late winner, but Salah wasn’t good in this game.
That’s becoming a bit of a trend.
Surely there’s no way back to Salah’s best from here?
A new record drought in the Premier League…
In fact, it’s the worst such trend of his Premier League career.
Mohamed Salah is slowing down at Liverpool
Keeping up the pace from last season was always going to be a near-impossible task for Salah.
He hasn’t come close this term, providing less to the Liverpool attack than ever before.
Salah is in talks with Al-Ittihad, and a summer transfer shouldn’t be ruled out.
The fact of the matter is, the Liverpool legend is 34 — it’s more likely that this is a natural regression than a dip in form.
Liverpool could yet receive a healthy fee, especially if a move to Saudi Arabia is where this goes.
Liverpool might not need to sign a replacement
Since arriving at Liverpool, Slot has been largely consistent with the formation he plays.
If Salah is to leave, it would be worth taking a minute to consider whether a world-class wide man is the wisest use of funds.

All going well, Alexander Isak will be back from injury alongside Hugo Ekitike, and Liverpool’s attack-minded full-backs may well be the ones who can provide the width.
There have been plenty of exciting names linked to come in on the wing, but maybe that’s not the best way forward.
