Liverpool have nine games remaining to avoid doing something which hasn’t occurred for them since the 1996/97 season. They’ve recently had two opportunities to resolve the issue for this campaign too.
We’re talking about scoring a penalty in a Premier League season. The Reds only had one in their league campaign 26 years ago, with Robbie Fowler missing at Arsenal after he tried to tell the referee it shouldn’t have been awarded.
Mohamed Salah had no such concerns regarding the validity of the penalties against Bournemouth and the Gunners in recent weeks, though he unfortunately put both shots wide left of the goal. With his failures against AC Milan and Leicester last season, the Egyptian has missed four of his last 11 spot kicks. Is it time for someone else, perhaps Fabinho, to take over?
