Mo Salah.
"I had a good relationship with the manager. All of a sudden we don't have any relationship. I don't know why. It seems to me that someone doesn't want me in the club
"I can't believe it, I'm very disappointed. I've done so much for this club, everyone can see that over the years, especially last season. To be on the bench, I don't know why. I feel like the club is throwing me under the bus. That's how I feel, says Salah.
If that doesn't say the dressing rooms gone then nothing does.
06 Dec 2025 20:25:07
Bye Slot, you selfsatisfied rubbishbird. Some guys are far more honorable than you are. Team Mo.
Agree7
06 Dec 2025 21:29:01
Disappointed in salah doing that but not unexpected. He too fond of doing interviews to get out what he wants, putting himself above the club.
Agree2
{Ed001's Note - he has barely given any interviews in his entire time with Liverpool. That is a disgraceful thing to say. He tries to avoid doing interviews most of the time.}
06 Dec 2025 20:32:03
The club needs to put out a statement. Klopp isn’t here anymore as that glue, LFC to the Fans
Someone needs to send a message from the top because this silence isn’t acceptable.
Agree10
06 Dec 2025 21:35:19
I have a feeling they'll have to make a statement now, that can't be left as it is, there is clearly huge issues with other players too.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:36:55
He done several interviews on tv last season after games talking about his contract or lack of one at the time. To me u do that behind closed doors and same as that interview, club is at low point and doesn't need the circus that it will bring.
Agree0
{Ed001's Note - yes, the only ones he has really done. As for your thoughts, irrelevant, you have no idea what is going on, or what was going on back then either. He has every right to complain about his treatment. He deserves better.}
06 Dec 2025 21:37:32
Mo has basically just told the club it's me or slot. Pick him and I'm out in January. I'd pick Salah all day but I don't think Hughes and co have the bottle to sack slot.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:38:06
I'd say if they do LFC8, it'd be a goodbye.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:45:14
Not been in form all season and yet throws a wobbler when benched . Not a fan of Slot, but I think this is poor from Mo.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:45:15
Something has to give here. Club legend, all time XI. I think even Slot loyalists will find this hard to ignore.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:45:25
Hellohello, what makes you think they don't have the bottle? I'm curious to know.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 21:45:26
Feel for the dressing room when you have senior players making that type of interview.
The difference between how Virg and even Trent handled the media when contracts was coming to an end is night and day.
It is a real shame. For me feels like it is the end of both Slot and Salah.
It doesn't sit right with me having players make such comments after three games of being benched.
But on the other side if the club was going to change the system in a way that wouldn't suit Mo they should of let him go for free in the summer after winning a premier league.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:45:28
It's just unbelievable. I'm actually shocked.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 21:49:01
As a supporter of club for 40years I would like to think my thoughts are relevant. But maybe not.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 22:12:54
Digger if we all just agreed all of the time it wouldn't be near so much fun on here. Plus Frode wouldn't be telling us all that our posts are rubbish which I'd miss too. And imagine Vik agreeing all the time? It's our differing opinions that make the site. And the Eds of course! Keep it coming brother.
Agree0
07 Dec 2025 01:16:54
They are Digger.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 21:16:36
Well that Mo interview is explosive.
If Brighton is the end I hope Anfield sings for the Egyptian King from whistle to whistle. Give him the send off he deserves.
06 Dec 2025 21:22:40
For those fans that still support Slot, his treatment of Mo might change a few opinions.
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 21:31:08
😆love it, slate Salah the whole season saying he has to be dropped. Then when the manager drops the bloke the same people will use it as a stick to beat Slot with. Got a real turn off the fans of my own club this season. Seems were only the best fans in the world when everything is going well.
Agree5
06 Dec 2025 20:37:18
I don’t know who you are but you sound like Slots wife. You know the square root of eff all. Your username is enough to show your loyalties are elsewhere. GYAC Musiala has never played for us.
Agree3
06 Dec 2025 21:46:24
That’s not it Flo. There’s a difference between benching and ostracising someone. That’s man management, if that’s not been there we have the wrong people running the club.
Maybe it’s a self-centred takedown by Mo, who knows. But if this is what things have come to with an icon changes are needed perhaps more than all of us thought.
It’s been a bit of a shambles this season, no matter how much hope we may have before each game. Perhaps it needed something nuclear as a catalyst for change.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:47:02
It's soo distasteful how people's unhappiness with slot gives salah a jail free card. I'd be delighted if both were moved on. Salah and virg should have never been handed massive contracts. The squad needed reset 2 seasons ago and fortunately for them they got 2 massive contracts because of the circumstances.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:50:18
There is a way to drop a player and clearly Slot has failed to do that. Yep Mo has been poor this season but almost every player in the squad has too. We don't need Barratt Holmes sniffing around to figure out the guilty common denominator.
Slot's tactics and team selection is like watching an adult variation of musical chairs. Nobody knows where they'll be in 30 seconds or if they'll be playing at all.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 22:48:36
Good old Arnie. Wrecks the team with utter cack footie then turns on a legend. Great manager that Slot is. Do yourself a favour Arnie move to Liverpool permanently as a start or clear off now.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:15:47
So, another disappointment in a run of disappointments. I get that we play slow to save legs for the long season but right now, if we continue as we are, we will have nothing to fight for. It’s time to release the handbrake and get some good feeling back. Play isak up top, Wirtz behind, eki left and maybe Chiesa right (hopefully semenyo come Jan) Szobo and grav in the middle.
Absolute pointless saving ourselves when we need to get back on track. Get our best players on the pitch and start out running teams. Fight for the badge/ club.
It’s been dire all season but it’s time to show some passion. I know it won’t happen and we will just plod on but we need to try something different.
06 Dec 2025 21:21:48
Check out the Mo interview Wy bud.
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 21:11:35
Salah… I’m benching you as your form has dropped… konate and gapko first on the team shert.
06 Dec 2025 21:18:35
Team shert what is that?
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 20:26:59
Team sheet
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:03:31
Looks like Salah has had a few words with the media after the game, who survives this battle?
06 Dec 2025 21:18:41
Bit miffed for him chirping, he hasn’t said a word when we’ve been poor. Now he decides to add more bad feeling to the mix.
We are building for life without Salah, rightly. He’s getting paid handsomely so just get on with it. He will eventually leave a legend but right now the last thing we needed was more fuel especially when he goes to afcon in days.
Agree3
06 Dec 2025 21:52:12
I'm sure Salah is hurting at the performances and the position the team finds itself in. Not sure what Slot is building I don't even see the foundations yet.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 20:56:35
I can’t believe what I have just watched, when we were two up I knew we would mess this up.
What frustrated me the most, we ended up with only one attacker on the pitch at the end of the game. The manager has to take them blame for us dropping two points today with his dreadful tactics.
06 Dec 2025 20:32:58
Don't agree with a lot of slots decisions and think he prob has to go.
But I don't think new manager is the only thing needed. There will be a little new manager boost but the type and scale of individual mistakes is crazy this season.
Tonights game reminds me of early klopp days they'd score two or three than Migs would make a clanger or Karius etc.
Don't know what's happened with Konate, thought he had the ability but maybe he thought he had choice of Europe in summer and let's his eye of the ball that his confidence has gone.
Been happening since beginning of the season I remember people wanted Leoni to get a chance. If he wasn't inured think he'd of pushed Konate for minutes.
Going into the season with VVD, Konate and Leoni I think has bit hard.
06 Dec 2025 20:39:42
Konate can’t make individual mistakes (like the two first goals) if he isn’t on the pitch.
Bradley started and Gomez was fit.
There was no reason to start him when he’s in such poor form and no excuses for his individual mistakes.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 20:42:46
Who starts instead of Konate? Gomez has only been fit last two games.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 19:51:39
Endo? We could even play Gomez at centre back and Bradley at right back. Weird, I know, right?
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 19:52:26
He’s obviously not going to be sacked, because he’d already have been given the boot by now. This performance was no different to many many before it
But It’s time to at least hear from those running the club
I want to hear the plan, back this failing manager if you must, but I seriously think the fans deserve a statement from those in charge, it’s a disgrace this.
Agree7
06 Dec 2025 20:56:25
It’s not like we’ve got loads of depth in defence. Even then, whoever lines up in defence still has to deal with a weak, non existent midfield which also let us down tonight and will be equally as exposed.
Agree1
06 Dec 2025 21:03:27
Dont let common sense get in the way of a Slot moan jordz.
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 21:03:50
Wassa, in fairness, Jones was equally if not more so at fault for their second goal, he let the Leeds player just go past him as if he wasn’t there, which allowed him time and space to shoot.
Agree3
06 Dec 2025 21:14:47
Exactly, Slot isn’t fully to blame for this:-
- Leoni and Gomez were injured so Konate had to play and who knew he would totally fall off a cliff after a half decent season last year. Gomez had to cover right back when back from injury as Bradley and frimpong injured.
- VVD has made a load of errors - what can Slot do, drop him too?
- Salah’s form has dropped off a cliff, slot gave him a chance to rediscover his form, he couldn’t so he’s now been dropped. The guy won us the league last year so he could hardly have been dropped much earlier.
- Isak who everyone wanted us to sign needs to get matches under his belt so Slot needs to play him as he was bought to be the future of this team.
- Diaz wanted to leave, leaving us with Gakpo who did well last season but again his form has dropped off a cliff.
Not much Slot can do but hope by playing him that he gets back into form.
- The defence is set up to defend corners exactly the same as last year with the key men the same and we conceded 9 goals from corners all season so no way Slot could have believed this would happen. Where’s the defensive set piece coach. He should be answering these questions.
- we have more open play xG than all other teams we’ve played except City and maybe Chelsea so although some of the football is slow, we are still creating enough chances to win games from open play.
- our fortune has fallen off a cliff after we had a load of it last season and beginning of this season. We are now definitely in a run of very very bad fortune.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:21:23
Personally LFC8, I don't think I deserve a statement. I don't think my mates travelling back from Yorkshire will be discussing it either. But, each to their own. Put it in writing and see if you get one. What's your back up plan if one's not forthcoming?
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 20:40:53
I’ll find him in an Ibiza nightclub toilet and give him a piece of my mind Rome.
And I’ll tell him how his Subs ruined the game tonight.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 20:25:54
If you can't defend, you will concede goals. We can't defend.
From Konate lying down in the penalty area, to Jones allowing a player to cut inside and shoot in the penalty area, to Gravenberch's half hearted attempt on their corner.
We just don't have players that are defensively minded enough. If we had a team full of technicians it wouldn't be so bad but we don't so we need to compete.
We need some new players and a change of identity. Sacking Slot now leaves a new manager with the same problem but I can't see a load of new signings in January especially when we spent so much in the summer.
They were nearly all attacking players though 🤷.
06 Dec 2025 20:32:16
Slot is the problem.
Agree5
06 Dec 2025 19:34:55
Remember the time everyone was lording Slot for hooking Quansah off at half time in his first game.
What about Konate stinking it up after 15 games?!?!
He has either lost his own backbone or someone has filleted him.
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 20:36:23
For me he needs replacing but he isn't helped by poor leadership from his captain. Although his persistence to stick with favourites doesn't help.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 20:38:18
Whatsup, Slot didn't give away the penalty.
Agree0
{Ed001's Note - but he did pick the man who constantly makes those kind of imbecilic decisions.}
06 Dec 2025 19:41:44
Konate has been rubbish for nearly two dozen games.
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 21:06:20
Well for starters Gomez has to be fit to replace him which he hasn't been for half the season. And secondly even when fit Gomez is even worse than Konate. The real pity is Leoni got injured.
Agree0
{Ed001's Note - Gomez is not worse than Konate, stop talking crap in your deluded attempts to defend the shambolic mess Slot is making of the season.}
06 Dec 2025 21:06:23
It's all on Slot and the coaches. The tactics, formations and instructions are what the players are working to.
The lack of intensity, players out of position, players keeping their place every game no matter how crap they are.
We have 2 of the top scorers last season on the bench and he can't find a way to get them in the team or play a way to get any creativity out of all the attacking players at his disposal.
We have no pressing and our midfield is bypassed with either one pass or a quick one two.
The defence is fragile and looks like conceding multiple times a game.
At least with some intensity and desire, a lot of these issues go away. The passing is faster, movement quicker, defensive interceptions are faster.
I don't know if he is just missing his family and wants to go home or if last season has given him such a big head that he thinks whatever he does will work.
I don't like us losing, but at least go out with a fight and a bit of passion where you can see the players have given their all.
I am numb to the performances and results which is a bad sign. Shows that there doesn't appear to be any sign of a way out of this mess with this manager.
Agree3
06 Dec 2025 20:20:52
Ed1 what do you think it’s going to take for the grown ups to realise the man they’re paying millions too isn’t going to improve and need sacked? This is beyond gross misconduct now surely lol.
{Ed001's Note - probably when the stats tell them so.}
06 Dec 2025 20:25:47
Hopefully that’s now then! I liked Arne still do for his honesty but he just looks like he doesn’t care and has lost not only himself but the team, he just seems to be totally unmotivated after last year, no hunger for repeat success.
Agree4
06 Dec 2025 20:31:41
Only stat that matters is 4 wins in 15, I really wish it hadn't come to this but I see no other option then a change in management.
Agree3
06 Dec 2025 20:40:08
Liverpool EMBARASSING Football Club.
Sunderland promoted from EFL last season and we gained one point at Anfield!
Leeds last seasons EFL winners versus last seasons premier league winners, one point gained!
Two Draws? Two points from Six possible, who is the Charlatan?
Any Sloth or Lenny Henry?
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 20:54:01
Stats ed?!
How bad they got to get?!
Is this season a reset or a running period, because calender year have been awful .
February this started . February!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Agree2
06 Dec 2025 21:54:09
Guys, I live a long way from home and haven’t been to a live game in 10 years, but watch almost all LFC matches on TV and get the frustration with how things have been for a while now.
I know a number of fans of all of our major competitors really well and nobody is happy with how their team is performing this season (bar the really nervous gooner) .
All have a couple of players that they pick on for persistent poor performances, just as we do, and all (bar the blue Manc) really want a change of manager.
Why are all these teams’ supporters feeling the same way at the same time, I wonder? Could there be something else at play?
Agree0
06 Dec 2025 20:14:41
This reminds me of the old days when Liverpool were always chasing Utd, waiting for a slip up only for us not to take advantage. Eventually you run out of games to catch up.
We are in dire straits right now, so fragile that any team now fancies their chances to score. Too many individual errors, players not winning their own battles. We are a shadow of the team from last season and if we are to get anything out of this season, be it CL or top 4 then the club needs to pull the trigger on Slot and get someone in to try and salvage what’s left but make no mistake, it won’t be a walk in the park to pick this team up.
Too many underperforming players and not even in the squad to cover. Hopefully we get some help in the January window.
06 Dec 2025 20:11:19
If slot stays, we can kiss champions league football next season goodbye, top 4 in epl goodbye and basically winning any trophies goodbye. We need to say goodbye to slot.
06 Dec 2025 20:09:37
There's a lot to be learned from this season going forward. It's tough atm but Gone will be the days of first team players allowed to run down their contracts for Madrid.
Squad players who simply aren't good enough won't be in and out of the team for years. Centre backs costing us points nearly every week for months, that will never happen again.
There's a lot of errors happening on and off the pitch where I truly can't see it ever replicated again.
It isn't acceptable to invest soo much to have this kind of season. We bought top players and I expect lessons to be learned from the complete mess we're witnessing on the pitch. It's not all on slot BTW.
Hughes did inherit contractual problems. However this squad was in need of more recruitment than they probably expected.
This team is certainly not where it should be. Guehi and seymenyo will go straight into that 11.
06 Dec 2025 20:34:51
Over 200m on Wirtz and Isak wasn't needed imo. Should of got 4 players for that. 2cbs and 2midfielders.
Agree0
{Ed001's Note - but we needed 2 strikers. And we did try and sign both Bournemouth centre-backs and Guehi as well. The money wasn't the issue, Slot didn't see midfield as the priority this summer. He just wanted a Wirtz type to unlock packed defences.}
