Sport nationGary Neville was left stunned by Mo Salah’s performance in the first half of Liverpool’s match against Everton. The Egyptian winger, who has been the Reds’ top scorer this season with 24 goals, missed a golden opportunity to score just before halftime. Salah’s shot from the edge of the penalty area was deflected, and he snatched at the rebound, ballooning it into the stand behind Jordan Pickford’s goal.
Neville, who was commentating on the match for Sky Sports, couldn’t believe what he saw. “You don’t expect that from Salah,” he said. “The first one was wild, on the second one he was leaning back.” Salah’s miss was a stark reminder of his recent struggles in front of goal. Despite being Liverpool’s top scorer, he hasn’t netted from open play since the 2-1 win over Brighton at the end of March.
Salah’s form has been a concern for Liverpool in recent weeks. He has failed to score in his last five matches, and his lack of goals has coincided with the Reds’ poor form. Liverpool has won just two of their last seven matches, and their title hopes are hanging by a thread.
Neville’s criticism of Salah is not unwarranted. The Egyptian winger has been one of the most prolific goal-scorers in the Premier League over the past few seasons, but his recent performances have been below par. His miss against Everton was a prime example of his struggles in front of goal.
Liverpool can’t afford for Salah and his fellow attackers to be so wasteful when the need for victories is so paramount. The Reds are in a fierce battle for the title, and they need their top players to be firing on all cylinders.
In other news, Gary Neville has also been critical of two Liverpool players who he believes “need to get a grip” in the Merseyside derby. The former Manchester United defender turned pundit has been vocal in his criticism of the pair, who he believes let their team down with their performance.
James Pearce has also revealed why a £120k-p/w Liverpool ace wasn’t in the matchday squad, despite not being injured. The player’s absence was a surprise to many, but Pearce has shed some light on the situation, which has been a topic of discussion among fans.
Finally, there have been reports of a 50y/o manager who has beaten Liverpool with two clubs in the past, and whose agents have contacted the Reds about the possibility of taking over as manager. The news has sparked debate among fans, who are unsure if the manager has what it takes to succeed at Anfield.
Overall, it’s been an eventful day in the world of Liverpool football, with the Merseyside derby taking center stage. The VAR controversy may have been the talking point, but there have been plenty of other stories to keep fans engaged and excited.
