Joe Cole’s criticism of Mohamed Salah certainly stirs the pot, especially given Salah’s status as one of the Premier League’s top players in recent years.
His frustrations seem to revolve around Salah’s consistency, especially in key moments during matches.
While Salah has delivered crucial goals, Cole seems to be questioning whether those moments justify the hype, particularly when his overall play isn’t as dominant as it used to be.
There’s no denying that Salah’s ability to score in big moments has been vital for Liverpool, but Cole is pushing the point that perhaps his influence on games has diminished or is being overhyped.
It raises an interesting question about how we assess players: is it just about the goals, or is the overall contribution to a team’s play more important? Do you think Salah’s form has dropped off recently, or is Cole being too harsh?
