Why Did Arne Slot Drop Mohamed Salah for West Ham vs Liverpool Tonight?

Fans of Liverpool got shocked and went into disbelief after Liverpool Starting XI was announced earlier today as coach Arne Slot decided to not play their star forward and hero of last season Mohamed Salah.

It was kind of evident as the question "Is Mohamed Salah Starting For Liverpool" was circulating even before the game started as the player has not been up to the mark in recent matches.

The West Ham Vs Liverpool Starting XI revealed a big surprise: Salah on the bench with Florian Wirtz stepping in up front. Arne Slot the Dutch manager under fire after nine losses in Liverpool's last 12 games, made this bold call. Fans wondered: is it poor performance or tactics?

Salah, who signed a new long-term deal, has struggled badly. His goals have dried up, and his defense work has been called out by legends like Wayne Rooney, who urged Slot to bench him last week. After a 4-1 thrashing by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, Slot agreed Salah's form just isn't there.
