During Liverpool's defeat against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon (1-2), Mohamed Salah was once again ghostly, as often since the start of the season. Enough to push Jamie Carragher to warn Arne Slot regarding the management of the Egyptian striker, believing that he should no longer be considered as an indisputable starter for the Reds.
“It’s a real headache for the coach, and we’ll see what he does. It's interesting that he replaced it. Jürgen Klopp used to take him out often, this shows that, already in the past, Mo Salah could have a bad match and be replaced, even if he still had a little energy and liveliness. We have reached a stage with Mo Salah where he should no longer play every match. It should no longer be a question of 'this is the first name on the scoresheet'. He's still part of your typical team, he plays the home games, but maybe we need to think differently. If Liverpool have two away games, one in Europe and one at Brentford — I don't think they should play both.”advised the former Liverpool defender on Sky Sports. Salah was replaced in the 85th minute by Jeremie Frimpong, who energized the Reds' right side.
