EPL: Drop Salah against Frankfurt, Brentford – Carragher tells Slot

Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has advised manager Arne Slot to drop Mohamed Salah for their next two matches.

Carragher was reacting to the Reds’ 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. It was Liverpool’s fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions.

Carragher believes that Salah’s poor form is part of the issues affecting the team’s performances.

Slot’s men face Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek, before travelling to Brentford in the league.

Carragher told Sky Sports: “Liverpool have got two away games – in the Champions League at Frankfurt and then they go to Brentford. I don’t think Salah should start both of those games.

“He should always start at Anfield because Liverpool will be on top, around the edge of the box and more often than not he scores in those situations today. But I do think in the away games and helping your full-back, I don’t think Salah should be starting every game right now, certainly away from home, with the form he’s in.”
