Last season, Salah was a key player for the Reds, winning the Golden Boot award, but he has since struggled to find his form, failing to contribute to a goal in his last five games across all competitions.

Salah has removed Liverpool from his social media bios, sparking speculation that he may be taking criticism to heart. Owen believes that the 33-year-old's drop in form could be due to several factors, including his age and the changed dynamic in the team.

Owen pointed out that Salah has been scoring goals for many years and that it's possible he's just going through a temporary slump. However, he also suggested that the change in playing style, particularly the absence of Alexander-Arnold, could be a contributing factor.

Owen noted that the team's new attacking style, led by manager Arne Slot, may not be suited to Salah's playing style, and that the winger may be picking up the ball in deeper positions than he was last season.

Owen also acknowledged that every attacking player goes through periods of poor form, and that it's likely Salah will bounce back soon. However, he warned that it could be a combination of factors contributing to the winger's struggles.

Salah was given 18 minutes as a second-half substitute against Frankfurt, and his place in the team is under threat as he struggles to adapt to the new system.
