Arne Slot faces the biggest decision of his time in charge of Liverpool this weekend, with Mohamed Salah’s future potentially on the line.

Simply, Salah’s level has dropped off a cliff and he’s lucky that Slot didn’t drop him from the team weeks earlier than he did. If Salah wants to play for Liverpool again, he should be groveling at Arne Slot’s feet; if he doesn’t, Liverpool can save itself around $40 million in wages by letting him go in January.
