Mohamed Salah had an afternoon to forget in Liverpool's defeat at the City Ground LFC
As well as missing a huge chance, the Egpytian star failed to make much of an impact in open play
For Salah, it was certainly a day that didn’t go to plan as he struggled to get to grips with the game. Liverpool dominated play and boasted 76 per cent of the possession, however the Egyptian completed just FOUR successful passes from six attempts.The team, as a whole, made a total of 681 passes in the 90 minutes – meaning Salah had a hand in less than 1 per cent [0.58 per cent to be precise] of Liverpool’s successful passes.
The only man in a Liverpool shirt who made less passes and less touches [22] than Salah was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – he only came off the bench in the 76th minute, and touched the ball once. also had a chance to get Jurgen Klopp’s side on the scoreboard when he found himself unmarked at the back post from a James Milner free-kick, only to completely miss the ball as he attempted to volley in.
