COMMENTARY
When you come up against your fiercest rivals away from home you expect your biggest stars to lift their game to the occasion – which is exactly why Liverpool fans are fuming with Mohamed Salah for what they saw from him against Manchester United. Undoubtedly their best attacking threat on his day, the flyer looked a shadow of his usual self at Old Trafford and rarely had a chance to show any sort of cutting edge as he found himself running down blind alleys time and again. The fans’ reactions on Twitter tell you all you need to know about what they thought of the Egyptian superstar and it is not the first time he has gone missing in a huge showdown for Jurgen Klopp’s men. It is all well and good sinking the likes of Crystal Palace and Bournemouth but if you cannot perform at your best when needed the most then can you really consider yourself among the best in the business? Without a goal or an assist in all but one of his games against the club’s top six rivals this season, much more is expected of him.
This is Futbol has gathered a selection of the supporters’ tweets:
Hate it when Salahs in this mood and looks completely useless

Salah’s been shocking so far! Firmino a big loss for us. Games there for us, big half lads cmon! #LFC

So disjointed up front though. Milner has had chances to get the ball in and messed them up and Salah needs to show some guts

Milner and salah have been pathetic so far . It's a liability to play Milly on RB .

Salah been abysmal again. It’s either 10/10 or 1/10 from him these days.
