Liverpool legend Graeme Souness fears Mohamed Salah has been rocked by a past tackle from Lisando Martinez.

Salah was again for Liverpool in yesterday's 0-0 draw at Everton.

The Reds number 11 has netted just two goals in six games this season.

Souness opined: "I'm looking at Salah for Liverpool against Man United and in the first five minutes [Lisandro] Martinez goes right through him," the Scotsman recalled to Sky Sports.

"The rest of the game, Mo Salah looked for Martinez and looked for where he was. I've not seen the same Mo Salah since. I just hope - and he's signed the big contract he wanted, but at this level if you knock off half a per cent or one per cent then you are not the same player.

"I hope this is not him getting semi into his armchair because he has signed a big contract," Souness added. "I'm saying that as a Liverpool supporter, hopefully to make him angry and prove me wrong."
