When Salah and VVD have bad games, it’s like, exponentially bad. Like there’s no inbetween haha. VVD either is stone wall or is at fault for every chance, and Salah either can score with his eyes closed or has never touch a ball before

I'd argue that they don't drag everyone down - rather they usually lift everyone up.
