Liverpool Legend: Mohamed Salah is the reason why Man City will win the league

Mohamed Salah's form will cost Liverpool the Premier League title, according to former Reds defender Steve Nicol.

The Scotsman, who won four titles at Anfield, responded to Salah's claim that he was judged too severely for his lack of goals this season compared to the 2017/18 campaign, where he scored 32 goals and won the Premier League. Golden boot.

Salah has not scored in eight games in all competitions, although his back-post header allowed Toby Alderweireld to win the goal for the Reds in a crucial 2-1 win over Tottenham to Anfield.

It was after the match that Salah – who scored 20 goals this season – defended his record in a conversation with former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, but Nicol is concerned about the shape of the Egyptian.

"His head is gone," Nicol told ESPN.

And he should not say he had a bad season because he did not have a bad season. He had a bad second half of the season.

"Even though he was good in the first half of the season, he was also bad in the second."

Nicol went on to say that Salah's posters had indeed left Liverpool against Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

"When he pbades now, the first thing that gets into your head is" he does not score. "I prayed that he would pbad the ball to Mane, I prayed, because I thought that if he did not did not succeed, it would not happen at the bottom of the net, "he said.

"What worries me now in Liverpool is why their goals are going to be achieved.

"The way Liverpool is organized, (Jurgen) The top three in the middle of the park are workers, basically, they are not there to make fanciful pbades through the defense and score goals, they are there to pbad the ball to the first three.

"We are currently in a situation where you basically have a two front, and that's Firmino and Mane. So you have two players that you think will put the ball in the net.

"You watch Manchester City, which has an abundance of players able to put the ball in the net. It's the difference for me right now for which City will win and Liverpool will not. "
