Slot said last week he is "happy" to have Salah back - and Saturday's draw against Burnley illustrated why. Liverpool had 32 shots, of which 11 were on target, but only scored once despite having an xG of 2.95. Szoboszlai also missed a penalty. Szoboszlai also defended himself against accusations by Barnsley manager Conor Hourihane of being "disrespectful" during the FA Cup tie last week. I then missed a penalty against Burnley but I'm going to keep on going, I'm going to take the next one and I'm going to score - I'm pretty sure."
