The former Manchester United legend Gary Neville launched a scathing criticism of the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, describing him as "useless" during Liverpool's match against Chelsea, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the "Reds" in the seventh round of the Premier League.
Neville said in his podcast that Salah was "extremely weak" in the last 20 minutes of the match, pointing out that his decisions inside the penalty area were "bad," as he chose to shoot in situations where it would have been better to pass or make more effective choices.
For his part, Liverpool's new coach Arne Slot defended his player, emphasizing that Salah is "a human being, not a machine," referring to the immense pressure the Egyptian star is under, despite being the club's third all-time top scorer.
In this context, one of the Chelsea players pointed out that Salah's lack of support on the defensive side contributed to Liverpool's downfall during the match, reflecting the decline in the player's performance this season.
