Mohamed Salah's slide continues after yet another miserable month of football on a personal level.

The Egyptian was Liverpool's powerhouse last season, netting goals by the truckload and leading his side to victory after victory, however, his form seems to have tailed off this campaign and his struggles in front of goal are quite evident.

Salah failed to find the back of the net even once this past month, missing key chances against the likes of Everton and Fulham.

However, despite the Egyptian King's profligacy, Liverpool did manage to steady the ship in the Premier League, notching three consecutive wins to keep pace with City at the top of the pile.

A historic night in Munich in the Champions League capped off a successful month for Liverpool, but if they are to sustain their title challenge and hope to go all the way in Europe, they need Salah to find his scoring boots.

For now though, he occupies the 9th spot, dropping three places from last month's ranking.
