Ex-Everton man defends Reds star amid dip

Joleon Lescott says Arne Slot must keep Mohamed Salah in Liverpool’s XI despite his slow start — two Premier League goals in eight games. The ex-Everton defender compared his consistency to a reliable kettle: maybe not boiling right now, but still essential every morning.

He urged Liverpool to feed Salah more chances, calling him a match decider, while also backing Milos Kerkez to handle the Anfield pressure after his summer move from Bournemouth.
