Heskey’s Hilarious Take on Salah’s Woes…
Emile Heskey has turned the heat lamp on Arne Slot, cheekily criticizing the manager for leaving a seemingly snoozing Mohamed Salah on the pitch against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Salah, who usually lights up the field, seemed to have left his magic boots back in Liverpool, having failed to shoot or even wave ‘hello’ to an opportunity all game!
Despite being a record-equaling goal scorer this season, Salah seems to have mysteriously misplaced his scoring touch in his last five appearances. It’s as if he’s on a “create-nothing” diet at the moment. Heskey joked to BetVictor Casino that Slot faced a tough choice: keep playing the “Pyramid of Goals” or try a fresher face from the bench? The saga continued from his quiet Champions League performance earlier in the week, where he apparently ran into the “Nuno Mendes wall.”
With Salah’s odds of winning the glorified golden orb known as the Ballon d’Or plummeting faster than a kid’s math test scores post-summer, Heskey suggests the Egyptian king needs a mini-comeback montage to regain his glittering sparkle. But hey, after all, everyone has an off day—just ask any Monday morning!
