Mohamed Salah was left on the bench in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to PSG (Getty)Arne Slot believes it was better for Mohamed Salah to ‘save his energy’ after he was left on the bench for Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Slot, meanwhile, opted to start with a back five with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez operating as wing-backs, while Salah was named as a substitute. Liverpool failed to register a shot on goal against PSG and with minimal opportunities to attack the Champions League holders, Slot opted not to call upon Salah in the second half. ‘I’m also watching down here Mo Salah doing his running as well,’ Pearce said. ‘If ever there’s a time where a players attitude is going to stink, it’s Mo Salah with six or seven games to go on his Liverpool career not being brought on when they need a goal.
