This certainly gives Salah a valid reason to be annoyed, but of course doing it so publicly was the wrong thing, with this situation looking like it is now beyond the point of no return.Arne Slot needs to change formation and play without wingers Pundits have their say on Salah’s outburst Pundits react to Mohamed Salah outburst 👇 Join the debate; share your insight.
Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say If he does manage to stay in the job for their next game, this has given Slot the perfect excuse to change formation and drop both his usual wingers.Instead, moving to a formation with two strikers surely has to be the way forward as, right now, things cannot get much worse.Hugo Ekitike showed his clinical nature against Leeds by scoring a brace, while Alexander Isak was unable to use his time on the pitch effectively, with the Swede really ineffective when he is the lone striker.So, trying both together might just be worth a shot, especially as Salah will not be getting in the team for a long time and Gakpo has not been good enough to start another game on the left.
