Arne Slot’s frustration was clear as Manchester City continued to dominate, scoring their third goal shortly after the break.

Slot had already been vocal with complaints following City’s second goal just before halftime, visibly upset with refereeing decisions and the overall flow of the game.

Despite his protests in the first half, Slot’s displeasure didn’t ease after the third goal, as he continued to express his dissatisfaction from the sidelines.

The City attack appeared unstoppable, leaving Slot and his Liverpool side struggling to respond.

His persistent complaints underline the mounting pressure on Liverpool, with City taking firm control of the match.

Slot’s visible frustration shows the challenge his team faces in trying to turn the game around against a dominant City side that continues to capitalize on every opportunity.

Liverpool have been warned that replacing Mohamed Salah with just one player is an “impossible” task.

Former England winger Chris Waddle stated that it will be difficult for the Reds to recruit a replacement for Salah, as there are currently few players with the striker’s abilities. Waddle suggested Liverpool should sign two players at once, such as Three Lions duo Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon.

Salah to leave Anfield at end of season

Liverpool find themselves in the crucial position of needing to address the departure of Salah. The forward has officially confirmed that he will leave at the end of the season. Despite signing a contract extension last year that would keep him at the club until 2027, the 33-year-old released an emotional farewell message to supporters

Bowen likened to Salah

Waddle sees Bowen as the right person to replace Salah. Bowen, who has been pivotal for West Ham since joining in 2020, possesses the capacity to score goals from wide positions while also creating opportunities for his teammates.

“There’s not many who play his way,” Waddle told FruityKing. “There are a lot of wingers. I think Jarrod Bowen is the closest I’ve seen to a player like Salah who gets the goals but he’s getting on a bit now. If West ham went down, there’s the possibility of Liverpool getting a couple of years out of him.”

Gordon is another alternative

Another player who is suggested to be brought in is Gordon. Although the Newcastle star predominantly operates on the left wing, he has shown flexibility and an eagerness to drift into more central positions.

“Anthony Gordon plays on the left wing and I think he would prefer to be a left-sided player or a number nine now. He’s enjoyed playing up there for Newcastle United so I’m not sure about him taking Salah’s place at Liverpool,” Waddle continued.

“I’m sure he could play there and do it, I’m not saying he couldn’t, but he’s the sort of player who enjoys running into space down that left-hand side when it’s nice and open. I’ve seen many games where the other team have changed a player or changed the system because of how dangerous Anthony Gordon has looked down the left, so why would you waste that? l”
