Liverpool's Struggling Form Raises Question: Is Mohamed Salah Part Of The Problem?
The once-formidable Reds have slid into the bottom half of the Premier League table, with nine losses in their last 12 games. Their struggles are nothing new, but the sharp decline is ominous for fans who had grown accustomed to the team's dominance under Jürgen Klopp.
It was just seven months ago that Mohamed Salah signed a lucrative contract extension, solidifying his position as Liverpool's star player. However, since then, he has been a shadow of his former self, scoring only four goals in 12 Premier League appearances. The standard of his performances has plummeted, and it's no secret that his struggles have sparked debate about his impact on the team.
Coach Arne Slot is under immense pressure to turn things around, but the question remains: can Liverpool recover without one of their key players? Dropping Salah from the starting lineup could be a necessary evil. While it may not solve all the team's problems, it might help alleviate some of the weight that seems to have been shouldering him.
A telling example came when Slot fielded a 3-5-2 formation against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. The setup allowed for more defensive solidity and created space for other players to flourish. It also hinted at an alternative approach that might be beneficial during Salah's absence.
As Salah departs for the Africa Cup of Nations, it will be intriguing to see if this shake-up brings a welcome boost to the team's fortunes. Will Liverpool discover a new rhythm without their talismanic winger? The answer may lie in Slot's willingness to experiment and find fresh solutions – even if that means taking the heat off one player who has become increasingly under scrutiny.
For now, the Red Army will be left to wonder: can Salah's struggles be the spark that sets Liverpool ablaze once again? Or are they a symptom of a larger issue? One thing is certain: the team needs to find its way out of this current rut, and it may take an unconventional solution – like benching their star player.

Salah's slump might be a wake-up call for him & the team 
3-5-2 formation gave 'em some hope 
need to shake things up ASAP or risk relegation 
. Salah's struggles can't be ignored but he's still a top player and they need his magic back ASAP! 3-5-2 was a nice tinker in the Champions League, lets see if that trick works again 
. I'm not saying he's the problem, but his form is definitely raising some eyebrows 
. Let's see if the team can bounce back from this slump without their star man 
!
. COACH ARNE SLOT IS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO TURN THINGS AROUND, BUT I THINK IF HE DROPS SALAH FROM THE STARTING LINEUP FOR A BIT, IT MIGHT HELP 
. THEY NEED TO FIND SOME FRESH SOLUTIONS AND MAYBE TRY OUT DIFFERENT FORMATIONS LIKE THEY DID AGAINST EINTRATCH FRANKFURT IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 
. IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THIS WILL BRING A BOOST TO THE TEAM'S FORTUNES 
i feel ur pain tho, they've been having a rough season 
but lets be real, salah's form isnt the only problem lol 
the team needs a solid squad workup not just relying on 1 player to carry them thru 
so maybe this africa cup thing is exactly wot they need 
to shake things up & get that fire back 
️

his form has been declining for a while now and it's affecting the whole team 
) like switching up formations or positions. 3-5-2 works 
let's see what happens when salah heads off to africa cup nations 
and it's got everyone wonderin' if he's part of the problem 
. I mean, 4 goals in 12 Premier League games? That's a major regression 
. Coach Slot needs to shake things up, maybe try out some new formations like that 3-5-2 setup they used against Frankfurt 
. They need to find their mojo again, and maybe benching him for a bit could be just what they need 
. Can't wait to see how they bounce back without him... or if they'll discover a new superstar in the process 
️!
