Prior to the Egyptian's introduction, Jamie Carragher admitted he was stunned that Slot had dropped him for Isak.Carragher said: "I can't believe it, that he [Salah] is not playing. Mo Salah didn't play in the first leg, so he's not like some of the players who played last week and then played at the weekend in the Premier League."He played in the Premier League, he scored a goal, he's still one of Liverpool, probably Liverpool's best goalscorer.

I don't know, it's the only thing I can think of, but even that doesn't make sense, because it's about the here and now, so I'm flabbergasted Mo Salah's not playing."Ahead of the match, Slot outlined his thinking behind his team selection, saying: "The thinking is that, as we all know, we need to score goals, and there are goals in these players.
