Liverpool also returned from Stamford Bridge on Saturday without a point to show for their endeavours, after being dealt a crushing 2-1 loss to Chelsea.READ MORE: Liverpool owners receive answer to controversial claim as UEFA release blunt statementREAD MORE: Sweden manager fires subtle Alexander Isak dig as Liverpool treatment assessedAnd while plenty of supporters, and pundits alike, have picked problem with a leaky defence, following lacklustre displays from the likes of Milos Kerkez and Ibrahima Konate, as well as Florian Wirtz struggling to find his footing in the English top-flight, Scholes has called out Salah for the part he has played.Speaking on The Good, The Bad and The Football alongside Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness, the ex-Manchester United midfielder said: "He's still playing in the same position - but he just seems to be making the wrong decisions, More often than not."There's a couple of times, if you remember last year, look, he scored loads of goals, but a lot of the time he cutting in from that right hand side, his left foot, and he's playing some great balls into people to just tap in."There was a couple of instances on Saturday. When he comes inside that left foot, you think he's hitting that top corner.

He had three or four [on Saturday] and he's hitting like 20, 30 feet over and you're thinking; 'He's just off the boil'."Salah proved to be one of Liverpool's most valuable assets last season, with 29 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League alone. And while he has already scored two, and set up a further two in the league this term, Scholes and Butt believe that he isn't showing the same consistency.Elsewhere, Wayne Rooney has also questioned Salah's work ethic - taking a swipe at the Egyptian forward in the wake of their loss to Chelsea.

I think the last week has shown that when it's gone well, you're scoring goals and you're winning games, it's great and the team will put up with that, but over the last week, I'd question his work ethic."I know he doesn't always get back and defend as much, but in the Chelsea game, his full-back is getting torn apart, and he's [there] watching. He has looked a little bit lost the past week, in my opinion."It comes as Slot and Liverpool now have a two-week international break to right one or two wrongs from as of late, before they return to Premier League action on Sunday, October 19 to face Manchester United in the north-west derby - a game that Salah will hope to make a mark in.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
