Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Exit Led To Salah’s Dip In Form – Gary McAllister

Former Liverpool player Gary McAllister has said that Mohamed Salah is suffering from a year of inconsistency at Anfield. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit is the primary cause of the Egyptian’s dip in form, and the inconsistency that Salah is experiencing is a natural by-product of the current transition period.

Gary added that Mo still has plenty to offer at the highest level, so he should reject any offer from the Saudi Pro League.

His words, “I also think the loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a big thing for Mo as well because the combination they had on that right-hand side, whether Mo was moving inside the pitch and Trent would get high and wide, those little combinations have disappeared. They knew each other’s game so well. Whenever Mo looked to spin in behind and get in behind teams, Trent was the guy that could find the pass. Mo’s suffered by losing Trent and it’s just been a year of inconsistency.

That’s not to say that Connor Bradley can’t service Mo Salah or Frimpong can’t come in and get that sort of relationship but that takes time because Trent and Mo had a special little bit of a relationship.”

WOW.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
