Luis Garcia has claimed Mohamed Salah’s drop in recent form is due to the Liverpool winger staying too wide and not taking players on like he used to.
The Egyptian King has been notably quiet during the opening month of the campaign, scoring just two goals in six Premier League appearances and failing to contribute to a 9-0 win against Bournemouth. Salah’s form has aligned with a string of lacklustre team performances, most recently the 4-1 Champions League humbling at Napoli.
Such performances have drawn criticism of the 30-year-old, who signed a new three-year contract in the summer worth a reported £350,000-per-week, and ex-Liverpool forward Garcia believes the dip in form is typified by the lack of direct running that has become commonplace on the Reds right-wing.
