A part of Mohamed Salah went with Sadio Mane

DBasia.news – Liverpool’s decision to release Sadio Mane during the transfer market last summer raised many questions from Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player. According to him, this choice had a big influence on Mohamed Salah’s appearance.

Liverpool chose to part with Sadio Mane. The player started his new adventure with Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, the Reds brought in Darwin Nunez to replace Mane’s role.

However, so far the strength of Liverpool’s front line appears to have reduced. As a result, the Reds had difficulty winning.

Another impact is the appearance of Mohamed Salah that declined. The 30-year-old striker is believed to have lost his duet paartner.

From a statistical point of view, Salah’s appearance does appear to have declined. He only scored 2 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League. In fact, when Liverpool won a big victory, Salah did not register himself on the scoreboard.

According to Paul Merson, Salah misses Mane’s presence. For Salah, Mane is his soulmate in the game.

“Mohamed Salah is still an important player for Liverpool. However, I am worried about his performance,” said Paul Merson as reported by Sportbible.

“Sadio Mane and Salah always play well at the same time. They push each other. They are like Starsky and Hutch,” Merson explained.

“The sale of Mane was one of the worst decisions I have seen in recent years. I will never get tired of saying that.”

Currently, Liverpool are in seventh position in the Premier League standings. The Reds are 6 points behind Arsenal who are at the top.
