Great architect of Liverpool’s coronation in the Premier League last season, Mohamed Salah appears less flamboyant since the start of this exercise. Like his team, the Egyptian star has had a string of disappointing performances.
This Sunday, the Reds suffered a second defeat in a row against Nottingham Forest (0-3) at home. This result plunges the Liverpool formation a little further into crisis. Before the end of the 12th day of the Premier League this Monday, it occupies 11th place, eleven points behind Arsenal, leader.
Salah sacrificed?
For his part, coach Arne Slot has the difficult task of finding the solution as quickly as possible to restart the machine. One was even proposed by former Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. According to him, the revival of the reigning English champion will require a strong choice, such as relegating Salah to the bench.
“If I was Slot, I would try to make a strong decision so that it had an impact on the rest of the team. Salah doesn’t help them defensively. If you’re one of the new players, you’re on the bench and you see him not running – and again, he’s a legend of the club with everything he’s done – but if you’re on the bench, what’s the message? »asked the five-time English champion.
