Mohamed Salah’s struggles at Wembley have deepened, with the Liverpool forward now enduring a run of eight consecutive appearances at the iconic stadium without registering a single goal or assist. Once regarded as one of the most lethal attackers in world football, Salah’s continued inability to make a decisive impact on this particular stage has become a talking point among both fans and pundits.
In this latest outing, the Egyptian star had flashes of his trademark pace and skill but failed to produce the clinical edge that has defined much of his career. Opponents seemed to anticipate his movements, cutting off passing lanes and denying him the space to operate effectively. Despite his work rate and involvement in build-up play, the absence of direct goal contributions has raised questions about whether Wembley has become something of a mental hurdle for him.
For Liverpool, this persistent drought from their talisman is a concern, especially in high-stakes matches where his magic has often been the difference. The challenge now will be for Salah to rediscover his sharpness and break the pattern before it stretches further, as the team cannot afford for its main attacking threat to remain silent on such crucial occasions.
