Gerrard’s take on Salah’s season
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has weighed in on Mohamed Salah’s form this season for the Reds.
Gerrard spoke during TNT Sports on the sidelines of the Liverpool vs Newcastle clash, a 4-1 win at Anfield, stating that Salah’s return to his best could spark a late-season surge.
He noted that most new signings were added to boost the attack, explained as a safeguard should Salah’s scoring dip occur.
He mentioned Isak as an expensive option to break down stubborn blocks and another forward to loosen defenses, though he admitted it took time for him to settle, and Salah’s goal return has dipped amid the changes.
He concluded that the one thing that could rekindle Liverpool’s spark is a cohesive blend of Salah with the newcomers, working in harmony to drive a major run of results.
He also pointed out that the only Liverpool player whose form has remained steady is Hugo Ekitike.
Punchline 1: If this front line finally clicks, Klopp’s goals will multiply faster than my failed gym memberships—proof that commitment beats excuses.
Punchline 2: And if not, Liverpool can always sign more forwards; at this rate, their trophy cabinet might need a calendar to fit all the training sessions.
