Former Liverpool footballer Danny Murphy has offered a strange recipe for a way out of the crisis associated with the fall in the level of the Egyptian star Mohammed Salah in recent times.
Mohamed Salah suffers from scoring futility as he has not scored a single goal in his last 4 matches against Liverpool in all competitions, three of them in the English Premier League and one in the European Champions League, and he has scored only two goals since The start of the season is in its worst start with the Reds.
“We have to be careful not to overdo it,” Murphy told British radio station TalkSport. “The players are in a state of satisfaction. They’re in a so-called comfort zone.”
He added: “Salah needs a kick. It has nothing to do with the new contract he signed, but sometimes it’s needed.”
Mohamed Salah, 30, has signed a new deal with Liverpool that has made him the highest paid player not only among the Reds but also in the club’s history, with salaries ranging from £350,000 to £400,000.
With this shot, Murphy indicates the need to embarrass Salah, saying: “He should be reprimanded in front of his colleagues. I saw the best midfielder in the history of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, asked to take a shower between halves of the Champions League match.”
Murphy: “If that means digging someone up in front of the other guys, I’ve seen that before, the best result in Liverpool history.” [Steven Gerrard]. I remember being told to take a shower at half-time in the Champions League. Nobody foresaw this!”
