No Premier League player since the start of last season has started more times than Mohamed Salah. An already impressive record made all the more breathtaking when you consider he turned 33 in June and plays in the league where the elite have the most unforgiving of schedules.
The issue is that even a player with Salah’s otherworldly stats is going to suffer from bouts of poor form, or occasions for which he struggles to motivate himself. But while others in this revamped Liverpool strike juggernaut are changeable, Salah is not for moving, given the status he holds as the club’s top earner and God-like aura he exudes around Merseyside.
Once again, when it really mattered, Salah came up with the goods from the penalty spot in stoppage time to earn Liverpool a thoroughly undeserved victory at Burnley. But that does not tell the full story of yet another anonymous showing from the Egyptian King in a season which is still lying flat out on a Mykonos beach.

— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) September 14, 2025He is rarely, however, this quiet. He didn’t win a single duel all match, didn’t complete a single dribble, created one opportunity and did not muster a shot at goal until his winning penalty.
Like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, Salah never misses out, unless rested. He is never substituted. You don’t beg a generational talent to stay twice and then leave him out.
Leaving Salah in there week in, week out when he remains this ineffective, could prove costly come May – even if it may seem unlikely at this stage.

“But in the end you always come back to the fact that I don’t want to leave this stadium with a draw.
The fact Slot had to add that last sentence exemplifies the impossible situation he is in. And, in truth, it is not a decision he needs to make at this stage. Liverpool, more by crook than hook, are still top of the table, having won all four of their matches thus far.
Alexander Isak’s return to full fitness will give Slot one of the most luxurious of dilemmas in Premier League history. If Salah’s form continues at this limp rate, the Liverpool boss may have to do the unthinkable, for the greater good.
