Liverpool have lost three games in a row in all competitions and Mohamed Salah has not been at his best, but Alan Shearer has backed the Egyptian to return to formNewcastle United and Premier League icon Alan Shearer has suggested that Liverpool boss Arne Slot doesn't fully trust Jeremie Frimpong yet, while also backing Mohamed Salah to bounce back to his best. Conor Bradley had been serving as Alexander-Arnold's backup prior to his departure, and Frimpong was brought in from Bayer Leverkusen to ramp up competition for the position.However, Frimpong has only started one Premier League match for Liverpool this season, with a hamstring injury also limiting his chances.



While the Dutchman was expected to be the first choice for the Reds, it's clear that hasn't been the case, and Bradley has also struggled to secure the position.READ MORE: Liverpool news: Florian Wirtz sends Arne Slot clear message with Reds 'pushing' for transferREAD MORE: Mohamed Salah trying to solve transfer concern as Liverpool struggles seen in new lightMeanwhile, Salah hasn't reached the heights of last season yet, and although three consecutive losses in all competitions is never ideal, there's a clear determination not to overreact.That said, Shearer has told Betfair that he believes Slot will be able to steer the ship back on course at Anfield."Mo Salah will come back to his best, start scoring goals and we'll all look back and wonder what the fuss was about," Shearer explained. "He epitomises what's happening at Liverpool at the moment in terms of being affected by the balance and Liverpool and Slot can't find it yet with the new players."Slot doesn't trust Frimpong yet at right-back.

It's not just Mo Salah, it's down the left and right side."Arne Slot is a brilliant coach so it's a matter of time before they do get firing. Things can move pretty quickly, and Liverpool will get better, as will Salah."After the international break this weekend, Liverpool will return to the Premier League for a blockbuster clash next week when they welcome Manchester United to Anfield.
