It's not as simple as Slot choosing his top three or four players and sticking with them. Perhaps Liverpool's system doesn't suit a No.

However, this only works if he's delivering in attack, which he isn't at the moment. Slot substituted him late in the game on Sunday, but while Salah has been a talisman for the Reds, he can't be considered untouchable.

Yes, he does the job, and yes, he's consistent, but it's ultimately not his natural position, and he's only being played there due to concerns over other options. Virgil van Dijk continues to be Liverpool's defensive cornerstone, but he can't do it all by himself, and the instability around him is clearly not helping the team's aspirations.
