Former Reds striker John Aldridge believes the Egyptian leader is doing little good for his cause by qualifying too easily.
Mohamed Salah made an unfavorable comparison with former Liverpool star Luis Suarez. John Aldridge acknowledged that the Egyptian was known for his reputation as "too easily".
The players of the group of the Egyptian attacker say for years that the speed with which they operate exposes them to the possibility to fall under the slightest touch.
There is, however, a fine line of demarcation between the light touch and the simulation.
Salah is considered to be balancing on this tightrope, with recent outings having seen the spotlight in penalty wins and falls in other areas of the field.
Former Liverpool striker Aldridge is worried that the 19-goal Reds' top scorer will attract unwanted attention, as did Barcelona's club leader Suarez at Anfield.
"Salah fell too easily against Crystal Palace [when looking for a penalty on Saturday]. And now he has a problem, "said Aldridge at Liverpool Echo .
"But did Mamadou Sakho catch his calf? 100 per cent. He grabbed his calf with his shin and Salah came down. That's what players are doing today.
"Now, Salah must be careful. Everyone is his. That's what has happened in the past with players – think Luis Suarez – who are looking for a touch and then come back down.
"Salah has been touched. Did he justify a penalty? Some referees would have given it. There was a contact, but yes, Salah fell too easily. "
Aldridge added that advertising around Salah could have a negative impact on Liverpool: "If it's a foul for Salah, I'm sure referees will inflict a penalty in the future.
"But the way Mo plays means that he's always going to invite contacts, he will often have two or three players around him in the box.

"In this case, it is difficult for the defenders not to come into contact with him. It's very difficult for him not to be touched.
While attracting unwelcome headlines this season, Salah continues to make many positive headlines.
The current Golden Boot Premier League holder is back to the front of this race for 2018-19, after a bruised double against Palace, which reduced him to 50 goals in the English flight to just 72 outings for Liverpool and Chelsea. .
