Your support makes all the difference.Mohamed Salah has failed to score in seven consecutive Liverpool games but team mate Virgil van Dijk says it is only a matter of time before the goals come for the Egyptian forward.
Salah, who scored 44 goals for Liverpool last season and helped them reach the Champions League final, has notched 20 goals in 41 games in all competitions, with 17 of them coming in the league.
"People can say all they want but I think all the teams in the Premier League would love to have him in their side," defender Van Dijk told the club website.
"The goals will come. That's something for a striker that is maybe going to be in your head but we tell him every time: you just need to keep working, keep going and you will be fine."
Salah has seen team mate Sadio Mane level his goal tally record of 20 goals this season after scoring in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Fulham, with the Senegalese also scoring at a faster rate than Salah with 159 minutes played per goal compared to the Egyptian’s 167 minutes.
