Liverpool fell to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, with Alexander Isak featuring for just 45 minutesWayne Rooney has urged Arne Slot to take personal responsibility for deciding how many minutes Alexander Isak plays, rather than leaving it to sports scientists. However, he lasted just 45 minutes plus stoppage time before being replaced by Mohamed Salah at the beginning of the second-half.Whether the restricted playing time was down to advice from the club's sports science team or Slot's own judgement remains unclear.

He said: "Isak played 45 minutes, is that a manager's decision or a sports science decision?"Picking his words carefully, Rooney replied: "Maybe both. I think sports science have a big say now, but Arne Slot's future at the club could be on [the line].""I think as a manager you need to take control - I'm not saying that was the case - but, 'Listen, you play as long as you can and if you can't do it, you can't - I'll take you off.'"Alan Shearer was quick to voice his disapproval of Isak's display as he was replaced by Salah at half-time.

That he didn't see him doing too many more minutes than 45 and that's exactly what happened."Despite a valiant effort, Liverpool were ultimately knocked out of the Champions League following Tuesday evening's clash - Ousmane Dembele proving the decisive figure with a late double.Those strikes compounded the 2-0 deficit Liverpool already faced, courtesy of goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in last week's opening leg at the Parc des Princes.
