All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageHe said: “Is it impossible that there's a U-turn? I think it's not beyond the realm that if Slot had been sacked during the season, Salah might have seen out his contract under a new manager."I don't think it's beyond the realms.

Obviously now that he's done his wave goodbye and all the rest of it, it's probably gone too far now to make a big U-turn."If they sacked Slot five games before the end, then maybe a U-turn could have happened then. Maybe it's still not fully beyond the realms of possibility."Liverpool announced the £34.5million capture of Victor Munoz on Thursday and have told RB Leipzig they will pay about £86million for Yan Diomande as they look to add attacking reinforcements to their squad.But Owen believes West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen is the perfect player to replace Salah at Anfield."I would say that Liverpool need a right-sided attacking player,” he said.

One did his knee straight away and one did his shoulder."(Virgil) Van Dijk and obviously one or two players can play in that position, but I would have thought a centre-half and a right-sided attacking player would be first priority."Slot was dismissed following an end-of-season review that decreed his playing style was no longer the right fit for the club.The Dutchman also paid the price for Liverpool’s disappointing defence of their Premier League title and the fact his side lost 19 times in all competitions.And Owen, speaking via Casino.org, is excited by the prospect of former Bournemouth boss Iraola taking over at Anfield.He said: "You can question most appointments, can't you? But you would say from a positive point of view, he's young, he's hungry.“He plays a style of play that Liverpool fans have been used to, certainly in previous years under Jurgen Klopp.
