Alan Shearer has admitted that he’s struggling to watch Mohamed Salah decline so sharply at Liverpool.The Egyptian has been one of the all-time greats of Premier League football, but has had a nightmare campaign as he prepares to leave the Reds.Salah‘s season hit a new low on Saturday as he missed a penalty against Manchester City, and according to Shearer, things are becoming difficult to watch. The ball ultimately went out for a throw-in on the far side.This was the moment Shearer focused on while speaking about Salah on The Rest Is Football, admitting that he is having a hard time seeing such a great player fall on such lean times.“Salah’s miles off it,” said the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorer.

To see a Premier League great suffer like he did, it’s not nice.”Salah must stop feeling sorry for himselfWhile every Liverpool fan will empathise with how Shearer has felt watching Salah recently, the Egyptian King has to remember who he is for his final games with the Reds.At times this season – and again on Saturday – it has felt as though Salah is beaten before he steps onto the pitch. In that respect, Wednesday’s enormous clash with PSG could be the moment he reannounces himself.If he cannot – and there are no real signs of a reprise at this stage – Salah may well be about to play in the final two Champions League matches of his career.
