Wayne Rooney has called on Arne Slot to drop Mohamed Salah in a bid to spark Liverpool back into a run of form.
After losing 3-0 at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, the defending champions now find themselves in 11th place on the Premier League table, 11 points behind pace-setters Arsenal.
Salah failed to score or assist a teammate in the defeat which marked Liverpool's sixth reversal in their last seven Premier League games.
After Saturday's results and the previous league defeat to Manchester City, Liverpool have now conceded six unanswered goals in the last two league matches.
