Neville on Salah and Klopp situation

The former Manchester United defender didn't shy away from critiquing Salah's recent performances either.
He pointed out Salah's struggles since his return from the African Cup of Nations, citing his disappointment in the Merseyside derby against Everton and his subsequent drop to the bench against West Ham.

"I was at the Merseyside derby, and Salah's not at his level," Neville observed. "He's been an amazing player and is an amazing player, but he was massively off it."
Drawing a parallel with another Premier League star, Neville likened Salah's situation to that of Son Heung-min, who faced a similar dip in form about 18 months ago.

"Salah's just hit a brick wall," Neville remarked. "These players play so much football they play so consistently and Salah has been almost ever-present for like six or seven years. There just comes a point whereby you need a break."
Liverpool's season, once brimming with promise, now faces uncertainty amidst internal discord and a dwindling chance at securing silverware.
