Shearer: Defenders have worked out Liverpool striker Salah

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer believes Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has been found out.

Salah has not found the net since Liverpool's 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth on February 9 and extended his goalless run to seven games in Sunday's win over Fulham.

"Defenders all know what Salah wants to do now," Shearer wrote in his column for The Sun.

"He wants to cut in from the right to shift on to his left foot. He is also not influencing the big games like he once was.

"Salah seems to be lacking confidence and is showing a few signs of nerves. That is really worrying for the Reds at such a crucial time of the season."
