Liverpool legend Graeme Souness said that Mohamed Salah's performance in the Community Shield earlier this season set alarm bells ringing.

The 33-year-old has scored just four goals from open play all season, and he has started Liverpool's last three Premier League games as a substitute. "He has not been at it this season, for whatever reason, and he has to accept that," Souness said.
