‘So Poor’: Steve Nicol Slams Mo Salah After 4-0 FA Cup Exit
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol did not hold back in his criticism of Mohamed Salah after Manchester City’s comprehensive 4-0 win knocked the Reds out of the FA Cup. Erling Haaland stole the show with a clinical hat-trick, while Antoine Semenyo added a fine finish. In contrast, Salah struggled throughout his first appearance since announcing his Anfield departure, missing an early chance and seeing his second-half penalty saved. Speaking on ESPN, Nicol described Salah’s display as “unprecedented,” questioning how the Egyptian forward went from almost winning Player of the Year last season to appearing so out of sorts. He suggested Salah’s confidence has dipped, affecting his shooting instincts and overall composure. With both the FA Cup and Premier League out of reach, Liverpool now turn their focus to the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, where manager Arne Slot faces a significant tactical and psychological challenge.
