Liverpool had a day to forget against Nottingham Forest.
The Reds dropped their first points of the season after suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Nuno Espirito Santo’s Tricky Trees.
Despite being clear favorites for the match, Arne Slot’s men failed to capitalize early on. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal in the 72nd minute sealed the result.
And although none of Liverpool’s players stood out todayone star was criticized more than his peers.
Mo Salah criticized for “poor” performance against Nottingham Forest
Winger Mo Salah, who enjoyed a fantastic game against Manchester United last time out, was unable to replicate his last performance today. The Egyptian superstar dropped a disappointing performance with his non-existent contributions.
Speaking about Salah after the game’s final whistle, former Crystal Palace defender and Premier Sports pundit Damien Delaney highlighted the 32-year-old’s lack of quality in the final third.
“His decision-making was poor today,” he said as he reviewed the highlights of the end.
“Getting inside, a couple of misplaced passes, that package (of highlights) could have gone 30 seconds longer, the regularity of passing the ball.”
Salah is in the final year of his contract with Liverpool. If no agreement is reached to extend his terms, the striker will be eligible to discuss a pre-contract with clubs outside England from January.
He stays heavily linked with a lucrative and high-profile transfer in the Saudi Pro League.
