John Aldridge has said Liverpool’s change at right-back has impacted the form of Mohamed Salah. The winger has endured an indifferent start to the season and, although no Liverpool player has produced better returns in terms of goal involvements, Salah’s impact in games has often been fleeting in the early weeks of the campaign.

Throughout the majority of his time at Liverpool, Salah has operated with Alexander-Arnold playing behind him. Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, and Dominik Szoboszlai have all been given stints at right-back, and Aldridge believes Salah has been impacted by the lack of a steady partner.

Salah has not impressed in the early weeks of the season (Image: Ryan Pierse, Getty Images) “That will obviously change over time, and Frimpong did come on at right wing in the second half even if it wasn’t his best performance. “Yes, Salah is still posting pretty good numbers this season in terms of goals and assists but his performances have been a bit hit and miss.” Aldridge has warned Liverpool's performances must improve.
