ARNE Slot explained why Mohamed Salah was left on the bench for Liverpool's game against West Ham United. Salah is fit and was part of the squad, but Slot chose not to start him. The manager mentioned that this decision was part of a broader strategy to rotate players because of the tough schedule this week.
Before the game, Slot said: "We have four matches in ten days. I have many good players, so today I picked a different team. Sometimes Alex Isak starts on the bench, sometimes Florian Wirtz. This is the team I chose today. It's not an easy decision, and I've done this before."
Some fans have been critical of Salah's performance this season, but others support the decision to give other players a chance to play. Slot seems to be experimenting with different tactics to help the team, especially since Liverpool have been losing recently.
