In seven cup-final appearances since joining Liverpool, Salah has scored just one goal — a penalty — and failed to register an assist.

The Egyptian had no impact on Sunday's Carabao Cup final as the Reds were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle to cap a miserable few days, which also saw Arne Slot's men crash out of the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

Salah is enjoying a statistically brilliant season, scoring 32 goals and registering 22 appearances in 43 appearances for the Reds, but O'Hara questioned his record in finals.

“I feel for Mohamed Salah, he’s a bit like Harry Kane,” O'Hara said on talkSPORT.

“He’s a brilliant player - there’s no doubt – but if you want to be classed as the ‘hero’ player for Liverpool, like Steven Gerrard and Ian Rush, you have to perform in finals.

While it seems a foregone conclusion they will win the title, O'Hara does not think Slot's team is at the same level that the Reds were when they were at their best under Jurgen Klopp.

“Liverpool have been brilliant this season; they’ve been really efficient,” he said.

“But the quality of the elite clubs in the Premier League has dropped off a cliff in the Premier League and Liverpool have been there to pick up the pieces and, ultimately, have been the best of a bad bunch.

“They’re a good team, but they aren’t the Liverpool of old.

They aren’t Jurgen Klopp’s team that finished second to Manchester City, or the Liverpool team that won the league and were breathtaking.

I don’t think Liverpool are as good as everyone’s made them out to be.”
