Steve Nicol makes yet another strange Liverpool claim

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been called the 'most frustrating player in the Premier League' despite being the Reds' top scorer so far this season.

Steve Nicol, the former Reds man, made the claim while working as a pundit for ESPN.

According to the Daily Mirror , he said: "Winning is the deodorant of the game, but it covers all bad smells.

"Winning covers a lot of bad things.

"You can say it with Salah: Salah’s form this season, is there a guy that frustrates you more in the Premier League or anyone else with the things he does in a game?

"Then all of a sudden he will produce something.

"But again, he plays every game and why?

"Because they win."

Salah missed a couple of chances against Atletico Madrid as Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday night, but he has netted 16 goals in the Premier League so far this season, and has 20 in all competitions for the third successive campaign.

He scored 44 times in his first season at Anfield and notched 27 in 2018/19, including a penalty kick in the Champions League final against Tottenham last June.
