Coach Arne Slot (Liverpool Club) said the reason why star Mohamed Salah did not play well this season was due to the departure of defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In the press conference before the match against Brentford in round 9 of the Premier League, coach Arne Slot shared many issues related to Liverpool's performance, especially Salah's personal performance.

Salah was benched for the second consecutive season against Frankfurt in the Champions League last weekend, something he has never done since joining Liverpool in 2017.

Salah is currently in pretty bad form, having gone 6 consecutive matches without scoring.

Coach Slot explained: "Salah played with Trent Alexander-Arnold throughout his time at Liverpool. When Trent Alexander-Arnold left, Salah lost his partner and that could be the reason why he declined. Trent Alexander-Arnold clearly creates more scoring opportunities for Salah."

"When a team has many changes in the summer, everything needs time to build and reconnect from the beginning. Salah is no exception. He is also a player, a normal person" - Coach Slot added.

The Dutch strategist admitted that not only Salah is having difficulties but the whole Liverpool team is as well. Coach Slot's team has only won 1 of the last 5 matches.

"No one is used to the feeling of losing, especially players who have been with Liverpool for a long time," Mr. Slot emphasized.
