Mohamed Salah Doesn't Help Liverpool Defensively: Wayne Rooney

Former Manchester United and England national team player Wayne Rooney stated that Liverpool head coach Arne Slot should drop forward Mohamed Salah from the squad.

If I were Arne Slot, I would put Mohamed Salah on the bench because he doesn't help the team defensively I’d try and make a big decision that has an impact on the rest of the team.

In the current season, Salah has participated in 17 matches for Liverpool across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing three assists.

After 12 rounds, the Reds occupy 11th place in the EPL standings, having accumulated 18 points. Arne Slot's team have secured six wins and suffered six losses. Liverpool trail Arsenal, who are in first place, by 11 points.

In the next round, the Reds will play West Ham United away. The match will take place on November 30 and will kick off at 17:05 GMT+3.
