Liverpool boss Arne Slot might freeze out the Footballer of the Year Mohamed Salah but he would surely be better sorting things out in his training ground officeIf he chose to, Mo Salah could sit on his backside, not try a leg in training, not be bothered whether Liverpool win, lose or draw … and pick up his four hundred grand a week. And Slot would be well within his rights to deem Salah’s detailed critique of the club and its manager unforgivable and make it clear the current Footballer of the Year no longer has a Liverpool future.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah takes aim at Jamie Carragher as star casts doubt on Liverpool futureREAD MORE: Former Liverpool star sends brutal reality check to Mohammed Salah: 'You are not Messi'But these are grown men.

For Slot, it might mean sacrificing principles for practicalities.Principles say the manager’s authority should not be disrespected in the way Salah has disrespected Slot. Principles say no player, no matter what he has done for the club and no matter how good he is, should be exempt from being dropped.Practicalities say Liverpool’s chances of winning anything this season will be diminished if Salah leaves the club.

Practicalities say an angry, fired-up Salah should be a major asset for the manager to use.It is beyond question that Salah was the most important player in Liverpool’s Premier League-winning season. Slot might want to show who is boss and freeze Salah out.Or he might tell Salah to stop moaning, grow up and prove his manager wrong And for all the outrage over Salah’s comments, that would be the best option.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
