Jamie Carragher has issued a warning to Arne Slot regarding the situation of Mohamed Salah, in great difficulty since the start of the season. Author of only 4 goals in 11 Premier League matches, the Egyptian is struggling to regain his usual influence. “If you don’t score on one side and you leave your team exposed on the other, you bring nothing to this tactical plan where Salah stays in front”explained the former Liverpool defender on The Overlap. “Either he has to come back down to defend, or he has to be replaced. The days when Salah started every match, especially away, must end”added Carragher.

Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United legend turned consultant, shares Carragher’s observation: opponents take advantage of the gaps left by Salah on the right flank. Especially since the Egyptian will miss several matches this winter for the CAN, pushing Arne Slot to consider adjustments now.
