Nicol pointed out that when Salah was substituted, the team's full-backs were able to get back into position more quickly, and that the team's overall defensive shape was much more solid. He thinks that Slot should continue to focus on building on this solid structure, rather than reverting to the team's previous style of play.

Nicol concluded that bringing Salah back into the team would be a mistake, and that Slot should stick with the lineup that has been working well for the team. This would allow the team to continue to build on their defensive solidity and improve their overall performance.

The team's match against Sunderland is an important one, and Slot's decision on whether to start Salah will have a significant impact on the team's chances of success.
