This Salah interview after reading about how many hundreds of times he’s turned down post match interviews for me shows just how upset he is about the situation. The guy is human at then end of the day cares about the club and by all accounts is humble and passionate. The mood behind scenes I guess only the players and staff really know but seems poisonous. For me the sooner Slot is gone the better and give another manager the time to try and repair damage done and build for next season.
While no player is bigger than the club and our history shows that from keegan to Torres there isn’t many players today of Salahs quality. His form dip I’m sure is temporary and he needs our support. For me the whole squad needs a balance of back to basics but also the obvious affection Klopp had for them. The Jota tragedy has shook them and they are still overcoming grief but I just don’t get the family feel that Klopp had with the players with Slot. There is no passion.
{Ed025's Note - the interview was not about the club...it was about the Mars Bar..

That's the thing, Ed25. What people are not asking is that even though Salah should have prolly kept this in-house, what made Salah speak so bluntly as he did. Not only does he not give inerviews, the ones he gives are very measured and chooses his words. That seems to not be the case in this instant.
If he spoke like he did, that must mean that it is worse than whatever it could be imagined. Also pretty sure if we asked the Chiesa's, Endo's, Gomez's et al (those who Slot refuses to play/ start come hell or high water), will they have their gripes as well? Or even agree with Salah's outbursts symbolically, at least?
That's more my thing.
Now regardless of what Salah said or didn't say, Slot is going to go. That much is clear.
{Ed025's Note - if he had mentioned the team Oli and said that players were not happy then i could buy that mate, but it was all me me me me..

I can never agree with his statement in full, because he specifically said that he doesn't have to earn his place in the team. That he'd already done it.
We cannot carry passengers at the moment and, unfortunately, that's all he has been since he signed his new contract in my opinion.

He didn't say that he earned his place in the team though Fornax. He mentioned that he earned his "position" in it. It could possible mean his place in the team but it could also mean his status as a leader. Maybe he questioned and confronted Slot on his tactics and that led to the falling out, being benched, and "being thrown under the bus" comments.
Cos if it was for footballing reasons, Konate should have been the first one dropped from the team.

Come on now, if he had mentioned that the team were not happy, some would have said that it wasn’t his place to say that. He’s not the team captain, not even the vice-captain, etc.
We all know that Slot has lost that dressing room. Even Dom’s interview a few days ago hinted at that. It’s just a matter of time before someone finally speaks out publicly.
{Ed025's Note - so was it his place to throw the manager under the bus?..
07 Dec 2025 15:11:26
If that comments counts as throwing him under the bus, then he must be standing pretty close to the road already. Everyone can see the dressing room isn’t happy. Saying it out loud doesn’t change anything, it just stops the pretending. That’s all.

Exactly my point, @mfahmee2. Not sure why he would speak in public for the whole team as that is not his job? Salah feels he has to speak out cos he feels that he is being scapegoated by the manager for his (Slot's) failings and also, other senior players have been stinking up the joint yet, they don't get benched/ rotated. That is a good point to make cos many fans have said the exact same thingre/ Konate, Gakpo etc. for ex. Not saying I agree BUT just saying how he feels.
Ed25, you may not have likes how he said what he said BUT can we really argue about the substance of what he said overall esp. with amanager whose record this season is wretchedly pathetic? Again, jus my take.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is Oli the team was never mentioned mate...it was all about him and his plight..total egotism on a grand scale..
