Unless something utterly remarkable happens, Mohamed Salah has played his last game for Liverpool. Salah is one of Liverpool’s all-time greats.



He’s only 33 and there has been no obvious sign yet of him fading with age. He’s scored only three non-penalty league goals and, worse, has shown no signs of forming an on-field relationship with the other forwards Liverpool have brought in, while being in part responsible for the problems down the right flank given his inability or unwillingness to track.It’s a reminder, perhaps, that a huge part of how good a player looks is the system they’re playing in.

Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson worked as an almost perfect three on Liverpool’s right. It’s not the first time Slot’s man-management has been questioned.
