When asked about Salah's performance against the Portuguese giants after the game, Klopp told the press:

"It’s clear Mo wants to score again."

"It is all fine, it’s a period he is going through and it is not easy coming back from Africa.

"He had loads of pressure [on his shoulders]. It just needs to settle. It is all fine."

Liverpool's front line options are as strong as ever under Klopp, but if they want to succeed on every front, they'll surely need Salah firing on all cylinders as soon as possible.
