Mohamed Salah’s Shocking Stats Reveal Why Liverpool’s Golden Era May Be Coming to an End.
That came to a head after the 3-3 draw at Leeds with Salah outlining his unhappiness after another evening spent sitting on the bench.
He subsequently went to the African Cup of Nations but hasn’t been the same player on his return. The lightening pace, the eye for goal, the ability to lead swift counter-attacks has deserted him.
The numbers behind Salah’s drop-off?
In the Premier League, his record this season reads:
| Apps | Mins | Goals | xG | Goals v xG | Shots | SOT | Conv % | xG per shot | |
| Mo Salah | 22 | 1820 | 5 | 6.82 | -1.82 | 57 | 14 | 8.77% | 0.12 |
The most alarming element is not necessarily the lack of goals, but more the fact he has underperformed his xG (essentially meaning he hasn’t scored as many goals as he should have done with the chances created for him). Last season, he scored 29 goals from an xG of 25.21 to give him a goals v xG figure of 3.79.
