Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has taken aim at Mohamed Salah after he endured an afternoon to forget against Manchester City. Making his last appearance for the Reds against Pep Guardiola’s side, the forward missed two good chances in either half as well as seeing a penalty saved by James Trafford during the 4-0 defeat.

A hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a well-taken finish from Antoine Semenyo condemned Arne Slot’s side to another defeat. Salah will leave Liverpool during the summer after reaching an agreement with the club to end his contract early.

And Nicol, speaking on ESPN FC, believes Salah’s decline this season is unprecedented. He said: “This is unprecedented. How can you go from almost winning the Player of the Year last year to this? To the fact that now you don’t look as though you know where the goal is.”
