"I went to see the very first game of the season, the Community Shield against Crystal Palace, and I was sitting next to my young son, I said, 'I don't know what's wrong with him?' And then I thought, maybe he needs half a dozen games to get up to speed. But he's never improved. His numbers tell you that."
"His numbers are way down, and he is the single biggest reason why Liverpool are having an indifferent season. Because within that group of players, there'll be some that are feeling the pain, some are feeling the negativity that's around the place, and they're not responding very well to it."
"When you're in that position, you need big players to stand up and be counted. And I think that's been a bit of a shock to Liverpool supporters, the manager and coaching staff, that those guys have not done that."
Graeme Souness believes Mohamed Salah's decline in performance has significantly impacted Liverpool's results this season. He noted a change in Salah's body language during the Community Shield game and expressed concern over his lack of improvement. Salah's current statistics show only 10 goals and 9 assists, a stark contrast to previous seasons. Souness emphasized that the negativity surrounding the team has affected player morale, and the absence of strong performances from key players has surprised fans and staff alike.
