The forward endured an afternoon to forget at the Etihad as his side were dumped out of the FA Cup.‌Making his last appearance for the Reds against Pep Guardiola’s side, the forward missed two good chances in either half as well as seeing a penalty saved by James Trafford during the 4-0 defeat. A hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a well-taken finish from Antoine Semenyo condemned Arne Slot’s side to another defeat.‌Salah will leave Liverpool during the summer after reaching an agreement with the club to end his contract early. And Nicol, speaking on ESPN FC, believes the forward’s decline this season is unprecedented.‌He said: “This is unprecedented. How can you go from almost winning the Player of the Year last year to this? To the fact that now you don’t look as though you know where the goal is.”Reflecting on Salah’s second-half miss, the five-time league winner with the Reds said: “The fact is, he had plenty of time to get it under control and pick his spot.
