Sorry but I think some of the comments on here regarding Mo are a disgrace, he's easily been one of the clubs best ever players, he's delivered the same numbers year in year out, season upon season and all of a sudden he's tossed on the scrapheap?
Have any of you considered how we might have looked in previous years without him?
He's had his say and he clearly had his own reasons, was it naughty? Absolutely, but can anyone on here say with any certainty that there are zero problems behind the scenes? I doubt it,
And let's not be throwing him away after that performance tonight and a dreadful watch against Leeds also, we were hardly inspiring, nice result and very welcome? Course it was, but good performance? It was slow, boring and ponderous yet again, we barely created a thing up front.
Can anybody say a 100% that a new manager couldn't come in and change these tactics and all of a sudden Mo's firing again? The tactics are currently awful.
I'm over the moon with wins but anyone whose excited watching this clearly likes watching paint dry too.

It's ludicrous to say in an interview that you don't have to fight for your place because you have earned it already. Cannot say that and expect no backlash. I'm gutted about it really but he has been performing quite poorly since March. Hope the situation can be resolved and he can start playing well again.

He’s not all of a sudden tossed on the scrap heap. He tossed himself on the scrap heap.

To misquote George Orwell, ‘All football fan opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others’.

It is all a bit boring. The only way you get away with this kind of slow, high possession stuff is by what I think they call winning, but we’re not doing it much so I think we’re all a bit grumpy.
Mo, it’s all gone a bit handbags for my liking. Sad really.
Some of these new signings. We can’t be a high press monster machine with Isak up front. Watching him try to join the high press is like watching a sofa try to run a marathon—you’re mostly just waiting for someone to take it off the pitch. Which is what is happening. I hardly hear his name. Good player, absolutely yes, but a pressing monster? No, more like a traffic cone with a Liverpool jersey—part of the scenery, but not actually helping anyone much. I just don’t know how it’s all meant to fit together!
Then you throw in Wirtz, who has an incredible first touch, can skip around like an elf from LOTR, I think great vision but unfortunately most prem players are 16’ so he gets walloped off the ball and every other Liverpool player is playing Call-of-Duty or Carsh Bandicoot (if your Konate), so that’s no use either.
All I can say is, it could be worse, I could be Slot! And like him, I wouldn’t have a clue what to do! I do like him though, so let’s be at least nice, he’s trying his best.

I don’t think Mo Salah should be starting games for Liverpool based on what he did a year or two years ago. He’s started 12 league games this season and scored 4 goals, virtually every Liverpool supporter was calling for him to be dropped and since he got dropped we’ve been unbeaten.
Not one person would complaining about it if he had kept his mouth shut but because he said something the fan boys that care more about their favourite player than the actual club are having a hissy fit.
Also, anyone expecting a free flowing attacking display against Inter away doesn’t know the slightest thing about European football.

You can’t say that, Rum Lad. Mention Salah in a good way and some folks here go into meltdown mode instantly. I can already guess who’ll pop up first. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Virtually every Liverpool supporter was calling for him to be dropped?
Did you speak to all 500 mill plus then?

There's a lot of misquotes about Salah's statement tbh. He never said he didn't need to fight for his place in the team. He said he didn't need to fight for his position. There is a subtle difference between the two since position could also mean him being a senior member and leader of the team, and that he should be respected as such. And I believe this is what he was referring to when he made that statement.
It does feel like the club wanted rid of Mo and went behind his back to approach other clubs and try to generate interest in him. And I stand by what my initial thoughts were that Salah being benched wasn't for footballing reasons or poor form. It was a power play by the club in them trying to create a reason why he needs to go, that he is the cause of the team's poor form. And it has worked with fans now saying that we're 4 games unbeaten since he was dropped even though our performance in each game was poor. Salah was right to be upset with the club for going behind his back with all this.
I don't think the club are squeaky clean in all this. They treated Mo poorly. If they had done the same to any other club legend like Gerrard or Dalglish, I think the reaction by the fans would be very different. But at the same time, Mo should not have put out that statement. That was a poor reaction by him.
Either way, I don't think Mo has a way back into the team now. That statement has well and truly burned bridges between him and the club.

Google it.

Mo is, along with Barnesy, King Kenny and Stevie, in the alltime XI, but I cannot abide his comments, even if he thought they would out into effect some change for the greater good. It’s time to send him off to do great works in the wider world.

haha hissy fits. 8 days a week.

" It was a power play by the club in them trying to create a reason why he needs to go, that he is the cause of the team's poor form.

And this Dracred, is what we call in the U. S Legal system, "Bad Facts". Notice that of all the people going after Mo, calling him every name but a child of God, I am yet to see a soul address. Why is that? Cos these facts are damning on the club's part, end of.
People can say Salah did it in public which shows poor taste however, that was a reaction to the initial reprehensible action of the club behind his back. Why is that part not being scrutinized publicly? Exactly.
The club wanted to stab Mo in the back on the down low by forcing him out BUT didn't have the balls to come, sit down with him and his reps. and hash it out like honourable gentlemen/ women.
Mo prolly found out that this is the reason he is being benched and scapegoated (which was till going on during the Inter game, btw) and then, went nuclear. Why do you think it didn't take long for the anti-Mo hit pieces to start flying off the printing machines?
This is all media propaganda to shield the club from it's own dirty hands, cowardice and lack of respect for a club legend and PL icon by scapegoating him for all our woes while forcing him out, which I find pathetic. And sadly, many of the fans ate the cheese cos of course, they will. That's the goal. Carra came out to do his schtick for a reason, too.
Sorry, propaganda doesn't work on me. Never has. Never will.
{Ed025's Note - where do you get this "the club was trying to force him out"Oli?, is this not propaganda?, its all guess work that is being paraded as fact, if you want to post tripe and speculation then please present it as that..
10 Dec 2025 11:31:12
The Salah situation can still be worked out if he apologises, unfortunately i just cannot see him doing that.
{Ed025's Note - nor me FM..
10 Dec 2025 11:36:38
Ahhhh it all makes sense.
Edwards and Hughes gave Salah a huge contract extension and then made Slot change his tactics so Salah played poorly all because they wanted him out of the club.
Makes sense.
{Ed025's Note - lets give Oli some credit for piecing it all together, is he the new Columbo?...lets wait and see.. :)

Ed25, I am asking actual questions that seem inconvenient for some to answer, based on the actual news Ed01 has posted about this saga. This was in the works since October, per Ed01. I am open to being corrected by Ed01 but I read all this in read that part in red ink on this forum.
This is where I draw my conclusions and ask the questions I asked esp. cos I am yet to read where the club did the right thing as in, brought Salah in, hashed it out and then all of a sudden, Salah blew up and went to the media to throw his toys out the pram. Also and except I missed it, I am yet to see anyone from the club challenge Salah's words saying "Someone is trying to get me out of this club" BUT we do know that the club decided to force him out without his knowledge. What's up with that?
That's not propaganda. These are pertinent questions that it seems many of us ask BUT get no response.
Now if you have more accurate information then, I am happy to be educated. Always a pleasure hearing from you, Ed25.
{Ed025's Note - im the same as you (and everyone else) Oli in that i dont know the exact truth...and who would?, Salah, his agent and probably Edwards will but the rest are guessing mate, people are posting stuff to suit their own agenda without knowing the real facts and now its become a blame game..
10 Dec 2025 14:34:21
Ron, Salah has been benched before under Klopp time and again and he didn't nor ever cried about being benched. So why now? I don't believe for a second that Salah threw a strop cos he got benched.
Ed01 said getting Salah out the club was being worked on since October (Ed01 pls, correct me) so if they wanted to sell him then why in da hell did they give him a new deal? Is anyone asking that?
So you're telling me Edwards and Hughes just woke up in the morning saying, "Oh, we screwed up so now, we have top get him out", yeah? If that is the case then how is that level of incompetence Salah's fault? I got a lot more where all these questions came from, btw.
Listen people are free to not question anything you're being told BUT if something smells stinky and things don't add up? I will question it something ain't smelling right here esp. behind closed doors from the club itself.
{Ed025's Note - you see thats where the problems start Oli, you are regurgitating second hand information, you are relying on other peoples information being correct mate and that is not always the case im afraid, they may have told you in good faith but only a very small number know the exact truth..

after a season where we heard endlessly that the club should have either signed trent two years ago so we could sell him for a fee or sell him the previous summer for a fee before we lost him for free, it is therefore only a good thing that we extended Mo with the benefit we have the option to sell him and get some money back.
