Liverpool: Can Mo Salah play with Darwin Nunez or is that why he is struggling?

Only Thierry Henry has won the Golden Boot more times than Mohamed Salah. Liverpools No11 claimed his third last season having netted 23 times in 35 appearances for the Reds.

The 30-year-old put pen to paper on a new deal in July in what was, at the time at least, viewed as one of the statements of the summer.

Yet as we near closer to February, some are beginning to question whether it was the right decision at all to make Salah the highest paid player in the clubs history. Of course, the current situation at Anfield skews opinion right now.

The Reds are ninth in the Premier League table, 10 points off of a top-four place and 21 behind leaders Arsenal. Jurgen Klopps side have won just one of their five matches in January - an FA Cup replay against Wolves - and are currently on a three-game winless streak in the English top flight.

Salah last scored a goal for Liverpool on Boxing Day in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa. Hes on just seven goals for the Premier League campaign, an eye-watering 18 behind Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race. He has just one goal in his last six outings for the Reds and the optics arent great.
