What is wrong with Mohamed Salah? | Liverpool Analysis

Dan Thomas, Paul Mariner, Steve Nicol and Shaka Hislop of ESPN FC react to the Liverpool vs Napoli match in UEFA Champions League, which the Serie A side won 1-0 and extended Mohamed Salah's slump to just one goal in the last seven matches.

what did people really expect? salah to become messi or ronaldo? i swear some peoples expectations are too high. we are talking about two of the best players this generation doing it year after year for close to a decade.

[williamjames]

I think teams have adjusted. Everyone is just thinking that salah, mane and firmino downgraded without realising other teams have improved.

[islamalsaady]

absence of teamwork between the 3 forwards is the big problem. and all of them are down therefore

[ILoveGaza]

Leave Salah alone....that is too much pressure and just coming out of a major injury.

[frassbox]

The season is still early he will come good soon

[dveryblueblood]

A team loses 1 or 2 games and suddenly Salah now has a problem

[samoso]

Lol nothing is wrong with salah. And he’s not one season wonder. Stop comparing him to messi and Ronaldo.

[rageowens]

If this was the end of the season the I would be worried but we are 2 months in into a long season and he’s already a one season wonder? come on now, no the problem is the Liverpool haters want him to be a one season wonder

[baby]

Maybe after all Salah is a one season wonder he definitely doesn't look the same as last year same with Firmino, Salah looks tired, teams know about him so they double team him he's so obvious with the left always cutting in idk man I think he is a one season wonder even Liverpool and Egyptian fans were so annoying about him last season I hope he's not a one season wonder.

It’s all about the harmony between our strikers, , they are not the same like last season.
did u notice that mane was a little bit selfish and kept the ball so long in Napoli game ?!
They should play like a team exactly like last season and everything will be okay 👌🏼

[ishaaqahmed]

Reason Salah was amazing last season is because of firminio and mane . A lot of the goals were counter attack or winning the call high up field . Now Liverpool don’t press that high with the same intensity so Salah has to stay on wing and Liverpool have to pass their way through . When your attack has been used to pressing so high and now sitting back and waiting for the ball, it’s going to take some time to adjust . I do think that klopp should go back to pressing higher up . Liverpool used to play some of the best football in the world but now it’s just passing the ball side to side with very little creativity in the middle . Shaqiri against Southampton brought that creativity in . Also against West Ham and Crystal Palace Salah was playing more central because Keita was there finding the right passes and going forward. Salah just needs to be more confident in the runs he makes and the midfield have to cover the area he’s leaving .

As soon as shaka starts talking I just close the video...basically he talks crap everytime

[kdv_]

Remember, back in time, when we used to say that let's celebrate the legacy of Ronaldo-Messi era than comparing them, and how we'll miss them when they'll be gone and the football would come back to 'normal' level. Well lads, that time's coming soon and REALLY FAST

[kamaldeen]

Salah..is one of the best but we have to give him tym...its too ..early to give out judgements

[abuahmad]

I think its better for MO Salah to change his position to the midfield and become games maker for Liverpool this is important for the team and for him certainly.
This position is missed and Liverpool problem will not get solved unless a good player leads the mid field and I think MO Salah is the best for this job

[brina]

Don't forget the ball is round, anything can happen. Don't press Mohammad Salah, let him play without burden ... Bravo Salah, Bravo Liverpool

[bajanpopslfc]

He has one goal less than last season. Same idiot press that said Kane was tired and struggling. The season is yet young stop trying to make up head lines. Next we will hear Studge getting an England recall.

[Asham]

Top 1 Messi
2 messi
3 Cristiano
Then the rest players. Whom their fans think that they are those twos level

[aziza]

Mohammed Salah is one of the fantastic players in the world last year, and he has been struggling with some components that try to stop him succeed. The big problem I think he faces this season is he misses the cooperation in his team. The absence of teamwork of course will affect negatively in his performance. God with you Mohammed never stop or turn around for haters.

[AlaKareem]

Mo salah is emotional player, he can't play without. Feeling love and kindness from his friends, he feel heated
