Salah has struggled for form this season with Just three goals in nine matches compared to six at this sage last season. His form this season is a stark contrast with last season when Salah finished last season with 43 goals in all competitions. His form last season led his nomination for the UEFA best player awards and for FIFA best player.
However, he has struggled to replicate that form this season and was withdrawn just before the hour mark in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea last weekend.
After joining just over a year ago, the former Chelsea man has plundered goals at an incredible rate for the Reds but domestic success may well be the priority now, with Jurgen Klopp’s men making a near perfect start to the Premier League campaign.
Although Salah has not been as prolific as last year, Liverpool legend Keegan predicted the Egyptian King could well go on to become a legend at Anfield if he delivers silverware.
Speaking to reporter, Kevin Keegan said: “Definitely,” Keegan confidently answered. “The only way you can get to that stage, if you like, is you have got to win things.
“You can’t get to be like Kenny, who came after me and replaced me – I think they saved about 50 grand in the transfer deal. Kenny was a bit cheaper than me amazingly. “But Kenny is remembered there for the teams he played in and obviously for the other things he done at the club.
“But you can’t become really in the fabric of the club unless your team is successful. You’ve got to put honours like European cups or league titles in there as well.
“And yes I think he can, is the answer to your question because Liverpool are in with a chance of winning the league this year.”
Much has been made of Salah’s apparently indifferent start to the season, with the 26-year-old finding himself withdrawn from games early.
Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher even called Salah a ‘problem’ for Jurgen Klopp because of his tendency to give the ball away in dangerous areas.
However, Keegan has backed the former Roma star to rediscover his scoring touch – sooner rather than later.
“This guy deserves to be given a bit of a run in the first team,” he continued. “I mean, he didn’t single-handedly get them up there last year, but he was the main reason – make no mistake about that.
“Mane, the other players, Coutinho when he was there, they played parts don’t get me wrong. But Salah was the one who made the difference.
“So, you’ve got to be patient with players like that, make sure you keep them on board. If you start to leave him out, that will not make him play any better.
“I think they have got to just play him through it and he deserves that right. I wouldn’t leave him out, ever. “You know it is only a matter of time – form is temporary, class is permanent, and he is definitely a class player.”
