Salah in danger of losing his role as penalty taker

Mohamed Salah could be in danger of losing his role of Liverpool’s penalty taker after Saturday’s win over Huddersfield.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Jurgen Klopp could change his designated penalty taker after Salah failed to convert from the spot against Huddersfield.

When Klopp was quizzed about who will take them in the future, he hinted that he has some decisions to make on when it comes to penalty duties.

I thought it made sense after the Egypt penalty – obviously the pressure is bigger in Liverpool than in Egypt to qualify for the World Cup! I thought it made sense after the Egypt penalty – obviously the pressure is bigger in Liverpool than in Egypt to qualify for the World Cup.

The Egyptian was handed the responsibility after he made headlines for his last-minute penalty to send his country to 2018 World Cup next summer. Klopp believed that the winger would be able to handle the big moments from the spot.

Despite the Reds going on to win 3-0 on the day, Salah failed to open the scoring during the first half when Liverpool were gifted a penalty. The winger’s effort was a poor one and it allowed Jonas Lossl to save comfortably in order to keep the scores level.
