On October 26, in the 9th round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost again. In the away game against Brentford, Liverpool started 0-2 and finally lost 2-3. Kyle Kez and Salah scored for Liverpool in this game, while Ouattara, Shad and Thiago scored for Liverpool respectively. The defending Premier League champion Liverpool is in a very embarrassing situation this season. Salah starts! Liverpool has lost 4 consecutive games in the Premier League. Zhan Jun’s comments hit the nail on the head and the true core was delayed.

In the last four rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford one after another. Their performance was too poor. In the Premier League standings, Liverpool has 15 points in 9 rounds, which is the same as Bournemouth with 15 points in 8 rounds. Liverpool is temporarily ranked 6th, while Manchester United has risen to 4th with 16 points in 9 rounds. If Arsenal defeat Crystal Palace in this round, they will lead Liverpool by 7 points.

Liverpool has lost consecutive games, and Salah is one of the team's problems. In the match against Brentford, Salah took the most 5 shots in the game. While scoring 1 goal, he also missed 1 scoring opportunity. He only succeeded 2 times in 11 confrontations throughout the game. He touched the ball 47 times and lost the ball 19 times. He made 0 steals and 0 interceptions.

It can be said that Salah shot wildly on the court, played too independently, lacked the awareness to cooperate with his teammates, made very little defensive contribution, and was lazy in fighting. Salah has started in all four Premier League games that Liverpool has lost. Liverpool won 5-1 in the Champions League last time, and Salah was a substitute. After he came on, Liverpool did not score again, and did not pass Wirtz for an empty goal opportunity. The 33-year-old Salah is old and is already a weak link in Liverpool's starting lineup.

Zhan Jun, a well-known commentator and Liverpool fan, commented on the club's performance after the game. He clearly pointed out that although Salah and Kyle Ketz scored goals, they did not complete their tasks on the offensive and defensive ends well. He believed that Chiesa and Robertson should start in their place. In addition, Zhan Jun also believes that Szoboszlai is Liverpool's most stable player since the beginning of the season, and he should be the core rather than a guest right back.

Indeed, it is not a wise move for Szoboszlai to serve as a full-back. He is in such good condition now that he should appear in the midfield position and serve as the team's core organizer. Szoboszlai is currently the core of this Liverpool team. Slott placed him at the right back position. This not only delayed Soboszlai's development, but also affected Liverpool's results. Liverpool are now in a difficult situation and need to make immediate changes. Does Slott dare to take Salah?
