Arne Slot can’t be selfish, and he has to think of the club, what’s best for the club.""If Liverpool need a result against Brentford because Bournemouth get a result and do well against City, then he has to pick him if he thinks he is in the best team. Arne Slot might think to play the players who will be here next season, and we bring Mo Salah off the bench, I am not sure."Arne Slot is wrapping up his second year as Liverpool boss(Image: Getty Images)“Arne Slot is not in a position of great strength at Liverpool, and that’s why Salah made his comments.
