Liverpool boss Arne Slot is under pressure after Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson left the club in the wake of a hugely disappointing Premier League title defenceAside from the emotion, the tearful scenes, and the celebration of wonderful Liverpool careers, there was a hard reality when Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson said farewell to Anfield. The reasons for Salah walking away after nine years at Anfield, despite having one year remaining on his deal, have still not been fully explained.READ MORE: Arne Slot behaviour after Liverpool match divides opinion - 'I'd like to think...'READ MORE: Every Premier League team's season rated from Arsenal heroics to West Ham disasterWas it simply that his relationship with Slot was beyond repair?

But what does matter is that his departure significantly weakens Liverpool.And that is just one of the issues Slot - along with sporting director Richard Hughes and Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football Michael Edwards - will have to address this summer.Slot is a class act, Slot. He took a back seat for the Salah/Robertson farewell and spoke about them very nicely.To say it has been a difficult season for Liverpool - on many levels - is an understatement but Slot has represented the club extremely well.

Injuries might offer some mitigation but only some.Only Manchester City had more possession throughout the Premier League season than Liverpool but Slot’s team was either not clinical enough or too often too ponderous, hence Salah’s comments about the need for a return to ‘heavy metal football’. But the credit from that first-season Premier League title win has now expired.
