Mohamed Salah’s status at Liverpool faces scrutiny after a flat run that has raised doubts about his work rate. He misfired in the 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Saturday, and he offered little cover on the right. He has gone scoreless in five of seven league matches, and Liverpool has fallen behind Arsenal after three defeats in eight days. Across nine games in all competitions, he has three goals and three assists.

Concerns grew as the 33-year-old tracked back sporadically, and Conor Bradley was substituted at halftime after an early booking. Chelsea attacked his flank, and Marc Cucurella advanced unchallenged to supply Estevao Willian’s stoppage-time winner. Pundits such as Wayne Rooney and Danny Murphy questioned his defensive effort, and opponents have targeted the space left by his advanced positioning. Manager Arne Slot seeks a reset, and he left Salah on the bench for an hour in the Champions League defeat at Galatasaray last week, while urging patience with the forward’s form.
