Whilst Slot will have been delighted at two of his new summer arrivals netting a goal each, the Dutchman will have been concerned about the performance of star Mo Salah.

The 33-year-old played the entire 90 minutes and only had one shot in the match, partly down to Crystal Palace’s defensive display as well as Liverpool’s inability to get the most out of Salah.

Salah is then unable to cut inside on his left foot, a dangerous weapon that has yielded plenty of goals during his career at Anfield.

Slot needs to get the best out of Salah.

Without an effective Salah, Slot will lose a lot of goals and attacking threat down the right flank.

Frimpong must work with Salah to ensure that one of his most dangerous actions, cutting in on his left foot, continues to be a weapon in his armoury.

Slot has added to his forward options so they are not over reliant on Salah again this season, though his form is crucial to how the team performs.

Liverpool must do more too against Bournemouth to ensure Salah is effective and that he can hurt the Cherries back four.
