#4 Mohamed Salah lacks decision making in the final third

There have often been talks about Mohamed Salah's form in recent months. The whole world feels like he has lost his mojo but his overall game was excellent against FC Porto. The Egyptian gave trouble to Alex Telles but Eder Militao dealt with him brilliantly.

There was an instant when the Liverpool attacker left Telles to death with a sharp turn and created space for himself. Despite doing all the good work, he nullified himself when his pass was cut down in the penalty box. Corona played a woeful pass which went straight to Salah, but the attacker's shot was agonizingly close from finding the back of the net.

The 26-year-old broke his nine-game deadlock against Southampton but he buckled under pressure and failed to deliver the same output he used to produce before.
