Liverpool’s turbulent week has sparked strong calls for manager Arne Slot to shake up his formation and rest two of his biggest stars, Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister.
Following three straight defeats — to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea — pressure is mounting on the Dutchman to rediscover the winning formula that made the Reds early Premier League contenders.

Liverpool fans have voiced concerns that Salah, despite his quality, looks “lost” and in need of a break.
The Egyptian forward has struggled to finish chances and appears fatigued after a relentless run of games.
Fans Suggest Tactical Refresh
Supporters have proposed that Slot rest Salah and experiment with new attacking options such as Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, with Florian Wirtz operating behind them.
The duo’s pressing and sharp movement could restore Liverpool’s high-tempo edge up front.
Mac Allister has also come under scrutiny for his recent dip in form, reports Echo.
Once a consistent performer, the Argentine looks “tired or injured,” with fans urging Slot to temporarily replace him with Curtis Jones for added energy and pressing.
Defensively, Ibrahima Konate’s struggles have prompted suggestions that Joe Gomez be given a run alongside Virgil van Dijk to steady the back line.
The international break offers Slot a valuable pause to reflect. Despite recent setbacks, Liverpool remain just one point behind leaders Arsenal.
And a tactical reset could be key before facing Manchester United next weekend.
