Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher keeps hopes high on Mohamed Salah slow start


The Reds are clamouring for the Salah they knew last season but he has been slow to deliver. However, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has come out to defend Salah's form and said he is being unduly pressured to perform.

He said concerning Salah: "He's not in great form, but I don't really think he's in bad form either,"

"I think a little bit too much has probably been made of Salah's form. He is only one goal down on last season.

"I hope Klopp is saying this to him about the goals he scored last season: if he doesn't get over 40 goals, it doesn't mean he's had a bad season.

"Ian Rush was Liverpool's greatest ever goalscorer and he only got 47 in one season. He never got 47 again, he would score 25 or 30 goals a season.

"If Salah gets 25 goals a season then he's had a great season."

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'.
