An individual who Liverpool can’t quite afford to carry right now.Liverpool had conceded 10 goals in three games before Salah’s removal. And just to reaffirm that message, Slot placed Dominik Szoboszlai – Liverpool’s best presser – in Salah’s place.Liverpool’s subsequent matches have been less thrilling for the neutral, with the Reds restricting West Ham, Sunderland and Inter to very little in terms of valuable shots.

To castigate those traits ignores how Liverpool have benefited tremendously from Salah’s unwavering belief in his own greatness and hunger to achieve more, for himself and us.Salah still has immense value to this team. But the reality is he’s not been in form and Szoboszlai, who has replaced him at right wing for the past three Premier League games, has been Liverpool’s heart and soul.

In that regard it’s good news that Slot and Salah will speak before Saturday’s game against Brighton.Overall, this entire saga reflects badly on the club and it has caused an unnecessary divide in what should be a united fanbase, one that is doing everything it can to help Liverpool turn their season around.Dominik Szoboszlai has predominately replaced Salah on Liverpool’s right side and, throughout the season, been the team’s ‘heart and soul’. Maybe he’s laying the groundwork to jump before he’s pushed.What Salah did is unacceptable.
