Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol heavily criticized Mohamed Salah’s performance and poor decision-making following the Reds’ disappointing 2-1 loss to bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has slammed Mohamed Salah’s lack of impact during the Reds’ 2-1 loss at Molineux.
Despite Salah ending a long drought with a goal, Nicol argued the Egyptian contributed little else to the struggling side.
The defeat against bottom-placed Wolves highlighted ongoing issues for Arne Slot, with the team’s defense and wastefulness in the final third coming under intense scrutiny after another damaging result.
Speaking on ESPN, Nicol voiced his frustration regarding the star forward’s performance during the match: “In the final third, the decision was just horrible.
The one we showed in the highlight with Mo Salah… although he scored the goal, the goalie should’ve saved it, and he really didn’t contribute anything, again, all evening.”
Manager Arne Slot echoed these concerns, lamenting his side’s continued inability to convert open-play chances.
