The Liverpool forward has struggled to find his best form in recent weeks.
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol suggested that he has spotted a flaw in Mohamed Salah’s game, when speaking exclusively to ESPN FC, claiming that the Egyptian struggles to pick out his teammates.
The 26-year-old joined the Reds from AS Roma in the summer of 2018, and he has gone on to establish himself as a real star at Anfield, scoring 65 goals in 96 appearances in all competitions thus far.
He hasn’t been at his brilliant best over the past few months, however, scoring just once in his last 10 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool.
And Nicol explained how Salah’s passing also seems to be off recently, when speaking exclusively to ESPN FC:
“At the moment he can’t find a red jersey with a pass. And then when he has a shot, that’s the only time he’s finding a red jersey because he hit [Jordan] Henderson once and he hit [Roberto] Firmino straight in the back today as well.”
Despite his recent poor form, Salah is still incredibly dangerous, and Jürgen Klopp just cannot afford to leave the Egyptian flyer out.
Liverpool face a vitally important six weeks ahead of them, and if they are to achieve glory both domestically and on the continent, they will need their talisman to step up, and rediscover the form that he displayed on such a regular basis last season.
