Mohamed Salah Scout Report At Liverpool 2025/2026: Why Is Mo Salah Producing Less & How Can Arne Slot Fix It? – Player Analysis

Liverpool return from the international break on a three-match losing streak and now trail Arsenal by one point in the title race.

This summer, they underwent a squad overhaul, bringing in Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alexander Isak.

Perhaps the most significant signing was securing Mohamed Salah to a new contract with the club.

The Egyptian is coming off an incredible season, during which he scored 34 goals and dished out 23 assists.

This season, though, it’s been tough sledging because he’s only scored three goals and has three assists in nine appearances across all competitions.

In fact, when you dive deeper into his numbers, you’ll see that everything is down across the board.

That begs the question: What has changed this season for Mo Salah?

In this scout report, we’ll answer that question in terms of his role under Arne Slot tactics, look at some of the numbers between seasons, and consider what potential tactical changes for Liverpool could get the 33-year-old back to his form from last season.

Mohamed Salah Role Change

Last season, Salah was Liverpool’s main goalscoring threat.

He is the one who took a majority of their shots and was the focal point of their attack.

From his heat map below, you can see that his main objective was to receive the ball out wide and move it into the penalty area, with a significant amount of time spent on the right-hand side of the 18-yard box.

That has changed this season because, as you can see from his heat map, he spends a lot less time in the 18-yard box and more time hugging the touchline.
