Former scout Mick Brown has claimed that Arne Slot has “been thrown under the bus” at Liverpool, heaping blame on Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. Despite many saying that Slot needs to shoulder the blame for such an awful season, Brown has told Football Insider that Van Dijk and Salah haven’t helped matters at all, among others: “Slot has been thrown under the bus at Liverpool.
“Van Dijk has got a brilliant reputation which has been well-earned, but he hasn’t performed anywhere close to his usual standard this season. “So all of these things start to add up, but eventually it’s the manager who has to deal with it when results aren’t going their way.
If Slot does get sacked by Liverpool, the players are just as much to blame as anything else.” Hugely harsh to blame Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah These comments from Brown don’t seem fair, even if Van Dijk and Salah have failed to reach the legendary past heights throughout this season. Other players have been more guilty than Van Dijk and Salah when it comes to not always giving their all, too, so Brown’s opinion is wide of the mark.
