That defeat certainly hasn't helped speculation surrounding his future.Mohamed Salah's surprisingly below-par performances have led to the Egyptian facing unprecedented scrutiny from media in what could be his penultimate season at Anfield after signing a two-year deal earlier this year.Mirror Football now takes a look at some of the latest news coming out of Anfield, with Slot handed a transfer hint over a key target, a former Red claiming Mohamed Salah's decline has already long been happening, while Florian Wirtz is told his absence from the starting line-up could be a positive.Marc Guehi's January exit unlikelyLiverpool's defensive issues would perhaps have been solved, or at least helped, if Marc Guehi's deadline day transfer didn't collapse. It’s not sudden, it’s been going on for two or three seasons."There have been games where he hasn’t done well for the most part, but he’s scored a goal and we overlook the rest of the performance.

He’s a goal threat, but if he doesn’t score, he can look anonymous, like you’re playing with 10 men."Solution to WirtzAmong many Liverpool issues, the form of Florian Wirtz has been one plaguing Slot throughout the season. There's no doubt he's a top player."You don't play number 10 for Germany, and win the league over in the Bundesliga, and produce what he did at Bayer Leverkusen, without being quality.

We know he's quality, and he's shown it in flashes. Don't lay the blame on the four players coming in, or the four players coming out, or the manager, it’s just a collection of everything."Cole suggested reintroducing Wirtz into the starting line-up come January, but admitted it'll be an incredibly tough call for Slot to make given how much of the summer's expenditure was spent on the German's arrival.“In hindsight, if Liverpool could do a restart of the season, they'd have probably put one or two players into the team, and we'll keep with what we're doing, and just gradually change it, and by January, you'll start looking to get Wirtz into the squad, into the team regularly, giving the time to come off the bench," he explained."It's all well saying that, but Slot trying to explain to the owners who just bought you a £100 million player while he's on the bench is going to be a difficult sell.
