Liverpool are going through a rough patch right now and some of their players are being called out for underperforming massively. The international break has probably come at a good time for the Reds as a rest is needed after losing three games on the bounce.This is the first time this has happened under Arne Slot, with the Dutchman now having a lot to think about over the next fortnight or so.In his defence, he cannot help that the large majority of his players are not firing on all cylinders, with many of them nowhere near their usual levels.And there is one star in particular who has seen a drop off in form, and Paul Scholes believes he has been absolutely useless at points this season.Photo by Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty ImagesMohamed Salah’s decision making has been poorThere are clear problems all over the pitch for the Reds, with most of the criticism being aimed towards the defence.However, the issues stretch far beyond that and the attack is also not at the level it should be, with Mohamed Salah one of the reasons for this.The Egyptian has failed to make much of an impact so far and has just two goals to his name, a tally that is usually much higher at this point in the season.This will be a slight concern for fans as he is getting no younger, and Scholes believes that some of the stuff he does is simply not good enough.“Every time you watch him, even when he’s been brilliant, he does some of the worst stuff on the football pitch,” he said on The Good, The Bad & The Football Podcast.READ MORE: Liverpool fans are all saying the same thing about what the club have just done for Trent Alexander-Arnold“Like it will bounce off his leg, bounce off his knee or he’ll miscontrol it.

Then he’ll do something that makes him look like the best player in the world.“He just seems to be making the wrong decisions more often than not. He’s not a spring chicken anymore, is he?

And he might as well be given a rest with what they’ve got.”Mohamed Salah will prove doubters wrongIt is clear that Salah has had a bit of a drop off at the start of the season, but that does not mean he should be written off.The winger has gone through rough patches before but always come out the other side on top, meaning it would be no surprise to see this happen again.Once things in the forward line start to click too, then his season can really take off, with the likes of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz only going to make his job easier.Now 33, his minutes do need to be managed slightly and he might not be as key as he once was, but this will only give him further incentive to show everyone why he is still the main man.
