Peter Crouch told Amazon Prime that Mo Salah was ‘non-existent’ during Liverpool’s goalless draw with Newcastle on Wednesday night.

There were a number of chances that fell into Salah’s path during the match, but the quick-footed Egyptian is usually sharp enough to bury his chances, but not this time.

Whilst the £37 million man [Guardian] didn’t have his shooting boots on, he was also met by the Newcastle wall in between their sticks in Karl Darlow.

Nonetheless, after the match, Crouch shared his thoughts on Salah’s performance on the night and he thinks he wasn’t himself.

“Let’s be honest, it didn’t click,” said Crouch. “Certainly Mane in the first-half. Salah was non-existent, he couldn’t get into the game at all in the first-half.

“Having said that Salah had the best chance of the game and it was unlike him. 9/10, he opens that up with his left foot and bends it in. He just didn’t quite get the curl on it, at the time. Little bit disjointed.”

In what was the final game of 2020 at St James’ Park and Liverpool, who started the year hoping to end their 30-year top-flight trophy drought, ended it with a title to their name and sitting top of the tree for this current season also.

As a whole, it has been quite a memorable one for those in Red and these current circumstances will makes it even more unique.

Even with Liverpool’s injury problems, it seems as though they will be add another Premier League title to their names in May and potentially making it back to-back under Klopp.
