More time on the bench will allow him to recover, and if he only plays 30 minutes or so, he can pour all his energy into that time instead of trying to conserve it to play a full 90. I would rather have Salah for 30 minutes with a full tank than him going at 75 or 80 per cent over 90.

His Attitude Many commentators and pundits have noted that Salah is at his most dangerous when he is smiling. I will admit that Slot is asking Salah to be a creator more than a scorer, but that’s no reason to have a bad attitude about it.

He has the talent to do it now, but Slot says he is not quite ready yet. Would you drop the Egyptian King to the bench, or do you think all of his greatness and accomplishments have earned him more time to work out of this current run of bad form?
