The Reds were held for the fourth time in their opening seven Premier League games as Leandro Trossard's hat-trick secured a point for the in-form Seagulls. Salah, for one, failed to find the net once again, extending his barren run in the league to four games. Shearer wasn't impressed with his showing. The player-turned-pundit criticized the Egyptian for his poor pressing from the front and said such things are unacceptable at a club like Liverpool.

There’s no point him even going if that’s going to be his effort to close people down and stop it. “Similar thing again, that again from Salah – that’s not acceptable in that Liverpool shirt, he needs to be better." With just two league goals in seven games, it's safe to say Salah hasn't been at his best this season, but his work off-the-ball has also been poor. Too often, he's cut a clueless figure upfront, struggling to get to the end of crosses, while lacking his usual ruthlessness in possession. It was more of the same on Saturday, with Roberto Firmino once again showing up and eclipsing the star's travails with a fantastic brace.

They were seemingly headed for all three points but Trossard spoiled the party again with a goal in the 83rd minute to bring up his treble. Liverpool are now ninth in the league table with just 10 points from seven games.
