But Liverpool have done it before and after Mo Salah scored an early penalty, many Reds fans must have thought another memorable comeback win was on.

It wasn’t to be, though, as Liverpool huffed and puffed without finding another goal.

Speaking about Salah’s miss last night and his form in general of late, Nicol admitted he was far from impressed with the £34m man recently.

“If Mo Salah puts that in the back of the net I think Liverpool go onto at least extra-time and if not win the game.

I think, I’ve said it the last few weeks, Liverpool going forward, whether it’s Salah, Diaz, Nunez, anyone else, are off form.

It’s five games since Liverpool scored from open play.

It just takes a bit of accuracy and a decent connection and my goodness, I think it comes off his shin.”

While Salah has had a good season in the main and once again been a key player for Liverpool, there will be some inside Anfield who feel it might be time to move on.

Last summer, Liverpool fought off interest from Saudi Arabia and Salah remained on Merseyside.

However, with his form of late and other factors going on at the club, Liverpool might well be hoping that Saudi interest comes about again this year.

With Jurgen Klopp going and FSG looking at a new direction, could it be the ideal time to let Salah go as well?

Who knows, but his form of late will have cast doubt in the minds of some and Salah needs a strong finish to the season to show he is still the same player we’ve all grown to admire.
