MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Slot saw fit to substitute the 33-year-old five minutes from time against United on Sunday after he failed to have much of an impact, with just one shot on target, no successful dribbles and only two of his six ground duels won [Fotmob].Jamie Carragher admitted on Sky Sports after Sunday’s loss that he would like to see Salah dropped from the starting line-up for one of Liverpool’s next two games against Eintracht Frankfurt and Brentford, which is a sentiment shared by Le Tissier.Le Tissier insists that Slot should drop Mo Salah soonSpeaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Southampton and England star explained how he thinks that Salah can get back to his previous outstanding form this season, but only if he spends some time out of the Liverpool starting eleven soon.He said: “(Dropping Salah) is a big call that Arne Slot’s going to have to make at some point. What’s he, 33 years old now?

Which, in the grand scheme of things, isn’t really old, but when you’ve been doing what he’s been doing over such a long period of time, there was going to probably come a time when you just start struggling a little bit and you don’t have a decent run of form. “Because he’s kept his form for so long, you just thought when’s this ever going to end?

He’s not on the Cristiano Ronaldo kind of level or the (Lionel) Messi level, he’s a tier below that, and so I think the manager is going to, at some point, have to go, do you know what, Mo? I think he’s also got the African Cup of Nations coming up as well, so he’s going to be missing in (December and) January anyway.
