"Arne Slot was obviously trying to warn Mohamed Salah by putting him on the bench, but it was a wonderful win for Liverpool in the end. They had to garner the confidence to come from a goal behind, which is the first time they've had to do that since Tottenham last season. The performance definitely put them in the right position and everything is pointing towards Liverpool having a bright spell again."
"We aren't coming to a point where Mohamed Salah is only going to be used as an impact substitute. But Arne Slot had to make the call, because there were a lot of other people calling for him to make it, and Salah will have to prove himself again with Hugo Ekitike playing the way he is. He needs to take heed of that against Brentford at the weekend."
Mohamed Salah was left out of the starting lineup for the Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt and came on with 16 minutes remaining, failing to score as Liverpool won 5-1. Last season Salah produced 34 goals and 23 assists, while this season he has six goal involvements (three goals, three assists) and looked off the pace against Manchester United. Arne Slot’s decision to bench him functions as a warning and raises competition with Hugo Ekitike. Salah faces pressure to prove himself and is expected to respond with improved performances, likely starting against Brentford.
