I think Salah is suffering from having too many new faces and some in new positions on the pitch.  Liverpool lost a lot of speed up front with Diaz and Nunez on the press.  They also lost all the savvy and intangibles that Diogo Jota brought to the side.  He was a deft passer and finisher inside the box.  He fed Salah on multiple occasions.  Losing Jota hurt more than most acknowledge.  He was the glue guy.  The real problem is the defense, which looks lost and overwhelmed at times because they are so used to the midfield and forwards winning their match-ups and keeping the ball out of the final third.  Slot has played his back 4 too wide trying to play like last season, and his right and left backs aren’t performing.  He needs to find out how the pieces fit before the season totally gets away from him.  Salah has been neutralized by Slot’s shuffling of the deck.  It’s almost as if this team is built to function in the final third without Salah.

Oh, and they need Allison back now!  Never should have let Kelleher go.
