Salah on the Bench: Arne Slot Makes Key Decisions at Liverpool
The star striker Mohamed Salah has been relegated to the bench for Liverpool’s match against West Ham this Sunday. This is the first time that coach Arne Slot has left the Egyptian striker out of a Premier League match. The decision comes at a time of poor form for both the player and the team. Liverpool has suffered six defeats in seven league games, and Salah has only scored four goals so far this season. On the other hand, Florian Wirtz returns to the starting eleven after missing two matches due to an injury. Slot is adjusting the lineup in order to push the team towards the top of the table.Slot added: “It’s not an easy decision, as I have more than 11 good players. It’s not the first time I haven’t put Mo on, just as I’ve decided not to put on Isak, Wirtz and Etikite.”We have more players on the bench besides Mo, but I understand why you ask the question. We are playing four games in ten days. I have many good players, so today I chose this lineup. Sometimes Isak has been on the bench, sometimes Wirtz, so I understand why it’s about the players on the bench, but it’s also about those who start.
