As a United fan, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out multiple times since Fergie left.
My younger brother is a LFC supporter, so you can understand the banter.
Of late, like many Liverpool supporters, he has lost faith in Slot, and I keep teasing him, “But he won you the league! ” ?
We watch games together and let me tell you guys, you are a shadow of the team you were under Klopp.
Last season you won the league, and that would not have been possible without Salah. His drop-off coincided with your drop-off since the turn of the year. That is not a coincidence.
Salah has spoken out today, maybe because he feels like he is getting the brunt of it.
Why is he being dropped while Gakpo, Konate and Mac Allister, who have been even worse, keep playing every match?
And I am sure he is not the only one feeling that way in the dressing room. Chiesa, for example.
Things are not always black and white. When CR7 gave his interview, everyone was battering him and calling him out, but in the end a lot of what he said turned out to be true. Salah might be doing the same here.
This is not a Salah problem. This is a club problem, because Slot’s man management has been dreadful.
I honestly believe this might be Salah’s latest assist for your club.
Not looking good for Slot and Liverpool.

Let’s hope the problem does not plummet to Man Utd levels. Has sacking multiple managers made Utd any closer to being title contenders? No, it most certainly hasn’t, if anything, it has made Utd even worse.
The way I see it, Salah’s broadside has made removing Slot less likely than it was, the owners will not want to encourage a player-power led dismissals played out through the media. Did Utd get more respect when dismissing Mourinho after the public utterings of their star player Pogba? No.
This is a crap time for LFC, as Martin Samuels says today in the times, Salah was wrong to say what he did, it is self serving and his belief that he no longer needs to prove himself to be picked in the team makes everything else in that statement laughable, of course he needs to play well to be picked, for F sake, there were plenty of posters here calling for him to be dropped because he was playing to poorly. But LFC were right to give him a contract, if for no other reason than he will bring in a transfer fee when he goes and he did play so well last season.
Watching yesterday’s game, the ending was a shambles but up to the time that clown Konate gave away the penalty, the team were doing well. I can’t believe he also turned his back for the second goal, for a big guy, he is a coward. Fact is, Konate, yet again cost us. Gomez was as poor when he came on, it is hard to reconcile the fact that he was Virg’s partner when Klopp won the league.
No one is blameless, Slot certainly has made mistakes, but the senior players, world renowned all, and Hughes/ Edwards must share responsibility. Failing to get a CB after spending so much on attackers and knowing that the right side would be exposed due to Salah not tracking back has been shown to be negligent. Removing the manager might please Ed001 and the bandwagoners, but some of the first team (Virg, Salah, Mac, Gakpo, Jones) should also pay the price for their decline, I would jettison Hughes as well.
{Ed001's Note - why would it please me? Don't be a prick, pathetic little jibe and completely ignoring the fact that I said from the start that Hughes was wrong, so you aren't special. Just another one making snide digs to try and make yourself seem superior to others.}

Really uncalled for.
The Eds do so much to keep give people a platform to talk.
Have a little respect.
Ta.
07 Dec 2025 09:28:34
Any noise from the club Carra? The silence is deafening.
Hughes and Edwards hiding behind the couch.
07 Dec 2025 10:37:34
Wtf d day
Ed1 is one of the most fair and balanced posters here where in fact pretty much everyone asks for his insight and opinion. He has even said i don't know when he doesn't know rather than speculate . responding to questions rather than starting a new post .
Behave.
07 Dec 2025 10:42:42
Good post that RBK. Slight problem we’ve had is if you drop all the off form players we’d be down into the u23’s each week for most of the team. you’re right this is a club problem.
07 Dec 2025 10:43:16
A manager/ coach always takes the brunt, it has been like this since football began. Sure some players might be shipped out the door eventually and even Hughes etc might get the bullet at some stage but one thing to remember is that this team won the PL last season and came close enough the season before and it’s not as if the whole team is over the hill all at once.
Of course it needs a bit of help in Midfield and Defence but the team should still be doing infinitely better than it is at this moment and that can only be down to Slot, be it coaching, setup etc.

D-Day WTAF ?♂️.
07 Dec 2025 10:49:46
D-day. so you think we will end up like united because they've sacked a few managers , so with that logic we should stick with Slot . We all know the problem isn't just the manager but he picks the team n the tactics every game, he the one who also plays Konate ( the one you're slagging off) is that down to Hughes or Edwards, no that's down to this manager, we've gone from champions n expected champions again to this horrendous style of football with hardly any wins n we look beatable in every single game .
who's fault is that .
07 Dec 2025 10:55:14
Out of order having a pop at Ed01.
07 Dec 2025 11:19:43
Penalty only happens because of the gaping hole in midfield. They had acres of space to play in. Konate’s challenge was brain dead, but the lack of organisation and defensive awareness in midfield is shocking. As for the second, Jones is the closest player to Stach, he stands off him, gives him room to pick his spot and score.
Our weakness and lack of organisation in midfield is a huge factor in all this. Same old rubbish week in week out.
07 Dec 2025 11:22:32
D-day, what a divvy you are for having a dig for no reason and nothing to go on, what was the point?
RBK, good post.
07 Dec 2025 11:23:33
I bet 98% of posters on here respect ed1 for the insight he gives
I know I certainly do but show some respect.
07 Dec 2025 11:24:44
@Stromsgodset, how on earth did you take that from my post?
My point was, sacking managers ala Utd does not assure improvement.
I can only assume he is picking Konate because there is no better alternative. Gomez again showed yesterday that he is limited, and has unfortunately been shown to be injury prone.
Whose fault? I think it is a collective effort, poor management both on and off the pitch, desperately poor performances by highly regarded senior players, and a failure in recruitment, notably not getting at least one quality CB along with the young Italian prospect.
07 Dec 2025 11:35:34
Getting rid of Slot would please a lot of people ?.
On Gomez, we should remember that he played alongside a younger van Dijk, TAA and Robbo with Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum and Milner in front of them with Salah, Mane and Firmino all tracking back, as well.
I reckon I could have played centre half that season and we'd still have won the League.
07 Dec 2025 11:52:28
D-day because you used the United having changed their managers a lot for their demise . but then go and say changing the manager might make ED001 n a few of rhe bandwahoners happy. and the end of the day the managers takes the fall. yea there could've been better recruitment, but we got a good young CB who got injured on his first game . we got 2 good FBs n 3 excellent forward players. i thought we could do with a defensive midfielder. but its up the the manager n his team to get the best of the players n he has failed miserably, Salah can't go from a top goalscorer to nothing in the space of a cpl of months, he plays gravenberch in not the same way like last season n hasn't realised its definitely not working .
its nobody but the managers fault, how we play this boring slow unexciting football . As for Konate do you think its not worth putting Gomez in even for a few games but continually play an error prone Konate every single week.
07 Dec 2025 12:05:34
D-day, those jibes are uncalled for fella. The amount of time and effort Ed puts into this site, he doesn't need comments from people twisting his words and insuiating things he never said.
You was doing so well to that point mate.
07 Dec 2025 12:38:44
Seems D-Day just made a dig at Ed01 just to get him to respond. Clout-chasing, me thinks.
Also, I am a bandwagon fan cos I want Slot gone as he has failed miserably and abandonned everything that made us successful last season to the point of being the laughing stock of opposing players and managers mocking his stayle of play and calling us "soft"?
Yeah, take a day of mate. You seem lost.
07 Dec 2025 13:51:32
Don't take anything away from Gomez during that title winning season, Rigsby. He was immense then. Players would avoid going up against vvd but Gomez more than held his own. He would have been a starter for us for many years if not for the horrible injury he sustained the season after.
