Mohamed Salah's decline is too serious.

Liverpool lost 1-2 in the eighth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season against Manchester United at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 20th (Korea time). EPL defending champion Liverpool, who has lost four straight official games.

Cody Hakpo's shot hit the post three times, but one of Liverpool's losers is Salah's poor performance. Salah started as right wing forward. Salah is given tactical benefits under Arne Slot Liverpool.

Since Salah was born in 1992 and is now young, it provides an environment to focus on offense to maximize Salah's ability. The entire team is set up to create attack points by focusing as much as possible on offense instead of reducing defense.




However, Salah is unable to repay the sacrifices of her colleagues. Except for the pass to a student in the 20th minute of the first half, Salah showed little presence in the game. He wasted several chances with a flat header in the 33rd minute of the first half and a missed shot in the 8th minute of the second half when he received a cross from a schoolboy.

Nor did it create a decisive situation. There was no scene where he destroyed the defense with his personal ability. The most disappointing thing was the chance in the 20th minute of the second half. Milos Kerquez's cross was accurately delivered to Salah in Liverpool's instant attack. He had a one-on-one chance, but Salah couldn't even shoot into the net.

In the end, Salah was replaced in the 40th minute of the second half. He recorded four chances and three shots, but Salah missed a big opportunity and never had a dribble success.He didn't contribute defensively, and he rarely held out near the penalty box as he used to.

Even if you live, you may be sluggish because you are a person, but the current slump seems very serious. Salah's poor scoring ability was serious when Liverpool lost the last four games in a row. If Salah had given enough chances to solve it, it would not have led to four consecutive losses. Even before losing four consecutive games, it was difficult to say that Salah's performance was good.

Two goals and two assists in eight league games, and one of the two goals is a penalty. It is one goal and two assists in eight games in an open play situation. It is questionable whether he is the right player who scored 29 goals and 18 assists in 38 games last season.

If Salah's slump becomes this serious, Liverpool will inevitably suffer. It is also difficult to bench Salah, who is second only to Elling Holan in the league. This is because if you get off the bench, the issue will become controversial again. In the end, there is only a way for Salah to prove it, which seems unlikely to turn around easily at the moment.
