Like the comments he had already made a few weeks ago, Wayne Rooney once again targeted Mohamed Salah after Liverpool’s home defeat against Nottingham Forest (3-0). On his podcast for BBC, The Wayne Rooney Showthe former Manchester United striker explained that Arne Slot should consider leaving the Egyptian on the bench in order to shock the team. “If I was Slot, I would try to make a strong decision just to impact the rest of the team. Salah doesn’t help them defensively »he declared before questioning: “If you’re one of the players they brought in and you’re on the bench and you see him not running – and again, he’s a legend of the club and everything he’s done for the club – but if you’re on the bench, what message does that send you? »
Although he has only scored five goals this season, Salah had a record year last year in the Premier League, finishing top scorer and top assist while winning the Player of the Season award. Rooney concluded by highlighting the Reds’ current difficulties: “They’re going through a tough time, aren’t they?” We probably need to consider the impact of what happened to Jota on his teammates. But there’s no excuse not to fight and tackle. » Liverpool are currently in 11th place in the standings with 18 points from 12 matches.
