When I look at Salah's stats last year, they're absolutely phenomenal."But every time I watch Liverpool, I never liked Salah. He gives up a lot of possession, and I've been really vocal when I speak to people about Salah this year."I am a Liverpool fan, I am a big fan of Salah, I think he's amazing, but I think he's yesterday's man."I am not surprised by his performances this year because I've actually been saying it for a long time."I think that has affected Liverpool because when you look at what Liverpool have lost from last year, they've lost a huge amount of goals.4Salah's statistics don't match up to last year's"Salah got 29 in the Premier League last year, he's got four."Then you look at Salah's behaviour and his comments..."While he may have a point, it just doesn't help anybody, and I just think it has been a big distraction, but Liverpool have lost a huge amount of firepower."A strange sagaSalah only signed a new contract at Anfield last year, but in December 2025, he indicated his time with the club was potentially over.In an incredibly rare post-match interview after an awful start to the season, the Reds legend accused the club of throwing him under the bus.He said: "I'm very disappointed, I've done so much for this club.4Slot and Salah have had issues this seasonCredit: Getty"Everyone has seen it in recent years, especially last season."I don't know why I'm sitting on the bench."It feels like the club is throwing me under the bus, that's how I feel.

I think it's very clear that someone will blame me."The club promised me a lot in the summer, but I've been on the bench for three games. I can't say they've kept their promises."He even said his relationship with Salah was broken."I have said many times that I have a good relationship with the manager, but suddenly we don't have a relationship anymore.

I don't know why.4We could be coming into the final months of Salah's time at LiverpoolCredit: Getty"It seems to me someone doesn’t want me in the club."It's not acceptable for me. I don’t know why that happened always to me, I don’t get it."He then went away to AFCON and hasn't picked up form since returning.Liverpool scored five times against West Ham, and Salah didn't directly contribute to one.And Jermaine Pennant believes that Salah's decline is sad.Speaking on the latest edition of Inside Liverpool, he said: "When you watch what he's done for us over nine seasons, it's been nothing but phenomenal."And when you see a player all of a sudden have a 29-goal season and then have four three-quarters of the way through...that's a massive drop-off, that is huge."It's hard to see and hard to watch, you look at Mo and see what he's done for us over the years, this is not him."He added: "But, every player at some point in their career will have a slow decline, the goals will start drying up, they won't be as efficient as they once were."There are a lot of things that come into it - each season goes by, each season you get older."But on top of that, he's lost his partner in crime in Trent, and there's a lot of team shuffling, different manager, different style, all those things in one is never going to be easy for whoever you are."
