Liverpool failed to find the result they were missing again Bayern Munich earlier on in the week as they, once again, failed to find a way past a deep-lying defence – the Reds were held to a draw by bitter rivals Manchester United.

It could have been a whole lot worse for the league leaders, though, had it not been for goalkeeper Alisson, who was one of only a few Reds to put in a performance to be truly proud of – others were shells of the players that put United to the sword in December, Mohamed Salah included.

The Egyptian’s incredible first season on Merseyside has set equally high standards for this campaign but he has, thus far, failed to replicate them, with his poor showing on Sunday the latest in a string of sub-par performances.

It has been made clear this year that the electric winger requires a hatful of chances to find the net and therefore it is of little surprise that he was unable to strike at the weekend – the former Roma man had just one shot, which failed to hit the target.

United left-back Luke Shaw kept the speedster silent throughout, although a crazy first half saw Liverpool catalyst Roberto Firmino make way due to injury – the Brazilian’s absences previously have often left Salah extremely isolated.

With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s battlers hot on his every touch, Salah was dispossessed a match-high 6 times in an uncharacteristically sloppy showing – the number 11 is usually reliable with the ball at his feet but this clash was an exception.

If his disappointing afternoon surely couldn’t get any worse, the 26-year-old took just 40 touches – the second-lowest of the Liverpool outfield players who played over 60 minutes.

The Anfield outfit begin a hectic week of football by hosting Watford on Wednesday before a visit to bitter rivals Everton at the weekend, both games of which Salah will see as an opportunity to nip his bad run in the bud.
