Fans all saying the same thing after Salah misses two sitters and fails to score or assist in 9-0 mauling of Bournemouth
MOHAMED SALAH uncharacteristically missed two sitters and failed to score or assist in Liverpool’s 9-0 mauling of newly promoted Bournemouth.
The Egypt star, 30, has two goals and an assist to his name in four Premier League games this term.
And since his return to England from Roma, he has 167 goal involvements for Liverpool – winning one Prem title and three Golden Boots.
So when Salah missed two sitters and failed to score or assist in Liverpool’s 9-0 demolition of the Cherries at Anfield – fans found themselves saying the same thing.
Fantasy football and Dream Team players were pulling their hair out – especially the ones who triple captained Salah.
If you had the Liverpool ace captained on Fantasy, he earned you just six points.

As vice captain, you would have only got three.
One said on Twitter: “Salah messing everyones fantasy football up. Everyone is wondering whether it’s time to take him out.”
Another tweeted: “Imagine captaining Salah on fantasy football, being told Liverpool score 9 goals, and checking to see that he doesn’t assist or score any of them.”
A viewer also said: “Thoughts and Prayers with anyone who has Salah in their fantasy football team today.”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said after the game he didn’t want to “humiliate” Bournemouth. Neither did Salah, clearly.
The German said on his side’s first win of the Prem season: “Very good.
“We wanted to show a reaction. Be ourselves. Getting to be the best version of ourselves.
“We play a specific way. We scored wonderful goals. The game settled and we kept scoring. It was about keep going.
“Not to humiliate Bournemouth, we couldn’t respect them more. It’s about putting the opponent under pressure.
“I could bring on the kids, they deserve it so much. Harvey is a special player, wonderful goal. Everything was perfect pretty much.”
