After Liverpool’s 2-0 triumph over Aston Villa at Anfield, Mohamed Salah offered a candid reflection on the club’s start to the Premier League season, describing it as “tricky.” Despite scoring in the win—and hitting the milestone of 250 goals for the Reds—the Egyptian forward stressed that both he and the team still have more to show as new signings continue to settle in.
“I’m not happy with how the season has started,” Salah told reporters, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. “It’s a tricky season for us because we have a few new players. They’re excellent additions, but they need time to adapt to the team.”
Even with Liverpool’s strong performance against Aston Villa, Salah’s comments underline his relentless drive for improvement, both personally and collectively. That ambition has been a hallmark of his success at Anfield, and he clearly expects more as the season progresses.
The Reds have endured four consecutive league defeats, losing ground in the Premier League title race to Arsenal and falling seven points behind. Meanwhile, some new arrivals, including Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, have faced criticism, and summer signings Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, the club’s new full-backs, are still adjusting to the pressures of life at Liverpool.
Salah highlighted that patience and adaptation are essential for the team to reach its best form. “We just need time to adapt and understand each other’s games,” he said. “Everything will be fine.”
His words echo manager Arne Slot’s recent call for continuity and patience. While the victory over Aston Villa provides optimism, Salah’s honest assessment serves as a reminder that Liverpool’s season is a journey of evolution, not instant perfection. The club’s talisman expects nothing less than the highest standards from himself and his teammates.
