Rooney Asks Slot to Bench Salah from Liverpool’s Starting XI

Rooney Suggests a Drastic Change at Liverpool

Wayne Rooney has urged manager Arne Slot to consider the possibility of dropping Mohamed Salah from Liverpool’s starting eleven, in an attempt to revitalize the team’s performance. After the 3-0 home defeat against Nottingham Forest, the team is in eleventh position in the Premier League table, eleven points behind the leader, Arsenal. Salah failed to score or assist in the match, which marked Liverpool’s sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League matches. After Saturday’s results and the previous defeat against Manchester City, Liverpool have conceded six unanswered goals in the last two league games.

Salah is not helping defensively.

Rooney expressed his opinion on the team’s current situation.

Rooney argued that a change in the lineup could have a positive impact on the team.

I’m sure if you’re one of the players who have signed, you’re sitting on the bench and you’ve seen them not run… If I were Arne Slot, I would try to make a big decision to have an impact on the rest of the team.

Rooney also pointed to other key players who have not performed at the expected level. Rooney suggested that Liverpool’s current situation could be influenced by the absence of Diogo Jota.

They’re going through a difficult moment, aren’t they? You have to take a look at Jota, what happened to Jota, what effect that has had on the players.
