talkSPORT co-host Agbonlahor believes that for the benefit of the team, Salah should be given a break temporarily.
In the talkSPORT breakfast show on Monday, Agbonlahor said: "Salah is not in good form. He and Isaac do not have any understanding at the moment. Whenever Salah tries to pass the ball to him, Isaac does not make the right move. And Ekitic is sitting on the bench. Should he start? I think they are now There is a problem. It seems that Liverpool's current tactics are not working. "I think it is true. We have to be honest. He did not contribute much defensively. In yesterday's game, he always cut inside and tried some unreasonable passes. He kept trying to pass the ball behind him. It works when in the defensive line, but obviously not this time. He doesn't look like the same player he was last season, and it wouldn't hurt to give him a break. "
"I really think he should be discarded because he has not scored a non-penalty goal in seven consecutive games, which is unprecedented for Salah. He wasted a lot of chances and those mistakes were not what we expected from him. There was a great opportunity in the second half. Judging from the replay, he only needed one push to score, but he missed the kick. This is not the level that Salah should be. "
Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson also expressed a similar view. He believes that Salah has become too comfortable after signing a new contract of 400,000 pounds per week.
Laurentin said on the show: "His performance is not good enough. We are not worried about him missing opportunities because this is part of the way he plays. But he has to work harder for the team, and now it seems that he is a little too comfortable. As a coach, you have to talk to him and tell him that we need more contributions from him."
