Jurgen Klopp is not worried about Mohamed Salah’s performance after Liverpool’s Europa League defeat on Thursday. Despite Salah’s challenging night against Atalanta, Klopp emphasized that he did not want to blow it out of proportion, despite Salah finding the net. While Salah missed a significant opportunity and was substituted in the second half, Klopp acknowledged that the 31-year-old has not displayed his usual sharpness since returning from a hamstring injury earlier in the year. However, he noted that Salah has still managed to score 24 goals this season and stated that he is not particularly concerned about Salah’s form, as missed chances are part of the game.

Klopp did admit that his team needed to create more opportunities against Atalanta, particularly in the second half when they struggled to maintain the tempo. He pointed out that the absence of certain key players impacted their ability to set the pace and rhythm of the game. He stressed the need for more chances and results to destabilize the opponent, as well as the importance of turning opportunities into goals. Klopp noted that the team’s performance was inconsistent, making them difficult to play against at one moment and easy to defend against in another.

Despite the defeat, he reflected on the team’s effort and determination, emphasizing their need to create more chances and achieve better results in future matches.
