Gary Neville believes Mohamed Salah’s terrific form is a “worry” for his Liverpool teammates, as he is making them look bad.
After a stuttery start to 2022-23, Salah has finally hit his stride.
The 30-year-old only scored twice in his first eight Premier League matches of the campaign.
However, he has three in his last two, including a crucial brace in Sunday’s 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
Salah has not found goals too hard to come by in the Champions League.
He failed to score in his side’s opening group stage match before netting in the five remaining games – including the quickest hat-trick in Champions League history as Liverpool battered Rangers 7-1 at Ibrox.
After beating Tottenham, the Reds host Derby County in the Carabao Cup during the week – with Salah likely to be rested – before hosting managerless Southampton on Saturday.

“It was a positive that Salah is back to his best,” Neville told The Overlap. “I think the game I saw first where I thought ‘he’s back’ was the Man City game.
“He was a different level [to everyone else]. I thought yesterday, the stark thing about Liverpool was that in the past three, four, five years, Salah’s been class but he’s not stood out above all the rest of them.”
Salah’s form is making his teammates look average, Neville reckons.
“He’s been one of many great performers,” he added. “At the moment when he plays,…
