NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Paul Merson has explained a key reason why Mohamed Salah is playing worse when Darwin Nunez is on the pitch this season.
Salah, considered by some to be the best player in the world, has struggled so far this term in what has been a poor start to the 2022-23 campaign for the Reds.
Liverpool are ninth in the Premier League having only won four of their opening 12 top-flight matches in stark contrast to last season when they finished a point behind champions Manchester City and secured a domestic cup double.
Nunez has scored seven goals across 15 games for Liverpool since he joined from Benfica in a £85m deal this summer but Merson feels he is hampering Salah.
