Liverpool legend John Aldridge has concerns over matchwinner Mohamed Salah after victory at Huddersfield Town.

Aldridge suggests the uncertain form of star man Salah encapsulated the team's efforts in recent matches.

"Salah's performance at Huddersfield summed up his efforts so far in what has been a strange season for Liverpool's main man," stated Aldridge to the Irish Independent.

"His first half goal was a clinical flashback to what we got used to seeing from the Egyptian week after week, the he was tearing defences apart and scoring goals at a rapid rate.

"Everything Salah touched turned to gold last season, but the game has suddenly started to look hard for him in the last couple of months, as he has sunk into a hole that he has only occasionally emerged from.

"He set expectations at a ridiculous height with his performances in a season that saw him finish with 44 goals in all competitions for Liverpool and while it was always going to be too much to expect him to repeat that, I think he is capable of so much more than we are seeing at the moment.

"It's not a fatigue issue in my eyes, as I believe he has lost a bit of confidence in all aspects of his game and that is translating to some less than convincing performances.

"When you see him producing the kind of finish we saw from him to give Liverpool a lead last night, the hope is that it will spark him into life and wake him from his slumber, but something is not quite right.

"He is missing chances, not making the kind of runs we saw from him time and again last season and Jurgen Klopp has to find a way to get him back somewhere near his best if Liverpool are to have any chance of challenging for the Premier League title."
