## Jamie Carragher Believes Mo Salah Shouldn't Be a Starter Anymore Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender and current Sky Sports pundit, has voiced his opinion that Mohamed Salah should no longer be considered an automatic starter for Liverpool. This comes amidst a worrying dip in Salah's form, with the Egyptian forward having gone seven matches without scoring a non-penalty goal. Most recently, Salah missed crucial opportunities in Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Anfield. Carragher emphasized that while Salah should continue to start at home games, where Liverpool typically dominates, he believes the player should not start in away games due to his current form. "I don't think Salah should be like a Virgil van Dijk where it's like 'first name on the teamsheet,'" Carragher said, highlighting the importance of adapting the team selection based on performance and circumstances. Salah's recent performances have been under scrutiny, especially after missing key chances in the Manchester United match. Carragher suggests that other players, such as Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, should be given more prominence in the starting lineup, especially in away games. Liverpool has recently faced a string of defeats, despite significant investment in the transfer market. Carragher believes that manager Arne Slot needs to rethink his strategy, focusing on maximizing the impact of new signings like Isak and Wirtz. However, whether Slot will actually drop Salah remains uncertain, given the player's historical importance to the team and the lack of form among other forwards.
