Jurgen Klopp warns Mo Salah’s critics that they will be eating their words by the end of the season.
Salah has scored just three goals in nine appearances for the Reds this term, following the 44 the Egyptian scored last season as he was named the third best player in the world by Fifa last Monday.
Salah had a tough past week, culminating in him being substituted with 24 minutes to play when Liverpool were trailing to Chelsea in their 1-1 Premier League draw on Saturday.
But Klopp is backing his star man despite the struggling player’s body language.
The German says: “Of course [he is not happy]. How could he? Of course not.
“That is a normal situation. Now, that is what you have a manager for. We will have a talk about it.
“It is easy for me because I do not read what you write but the boys do a little bit more.
“You will now do like a doctor, dissect. A big nice cut and wow – you will find pretty much nothing.
“Then it will be good - at the end whatever you write you will say sorry afterwards.
"It is no problem. It is all fine.”
Reds defender Virgil van Dijk also expects Salah to find the back of the net with more regularity soon.
The Dutchman adds: “We are seven games in and Mo’s working hard. He’s still the same Mo, and he needs a bit of luck as well.
“I’m not worried at all, and he should not be worried either.”
