Ed, Salah said "the club" have thrown him under the bus and want him out. Is it "the club" or just Slot?
{Ed001's Note - he is referring to Slot and Hughes.}
06 Dec 2025 22:01:40
Being dropped for three games does not warrant this response, but he's proboably right that Hughes feel's its time to sell.
400k PW + huge money for more rebuilding.
A sad way to end things, none the less.
06 Dec 2025 22:01:53
Evening ed001 mate….
Interesting to read it’s not just slot but Hughes too, has he had an influence in team selection mate?
Cheers
Drogie.
{Ed001's Note - more the way he is backing Slot and wanting to force Salah out.}
06 Dec 2025 22:05:00
Cheers Ed. So Hughes is on this as well then. Seeing as Hughes gave him the new contract in summer, he is looking increasingly not at the required level to me.
{Ed001's Note - who is looking at the required level in this tactical set up?}
06 Dec 2025 22:11:50
Sounds like it was a money decision by the club then in the summer.
Tbh I never saw a system where Mo, Etikike, Isak and Wirtz played together.
Sounds like they made promises to make him extend when really it was a bit of hit and hope and worse case they cash in.
06 Dec 2025 22:14:55
He was POTY last year, imagine the uproar if he didn't give him a contract. Im a huge fan of Salah, have defended him for years on here but it also has to be said he has put in some turgid perfirmances since August.
He's certainly not alone in that either but i don't think the fact he has been dropped should surprise anyone. Most people on here wanted him dropped.
06 Dec 2025 22:15:02
Well jeez Ed didn't Hughes sign off on Salah's deal? We've been so well ran the last few years and the wheels are coming off on and off the pitch. I would guess the on pitch is a reflection of off the pitch.
06 Dec 2025 22:19:15
Didn’t slot want rid off vvd and mo last year.
06 Dec 2025 22:23:06
I'm disgusted at Mo's response tonight. Again, he speaks when he wants something. Always selfish. Ed002 always told us off his agent hawking him around Europe. For a player with a 10 foot first touch, who loses the ball every time he's in possession and who can't square a simple assist, he's got a brass neck. Thanks for the service, Mo, but it's not binary. You can be wrong and so can Slot at the same time.
Post of the dressing room atmosphere must be him sulking. What other player would behave like this? Ferguson would've chucked a tray at him and he'd be transfer listed next day if he was a united player back in the day. Souness would've changed him if he were captain today. How about speaking in the mixed zone in support of the team. I'm fuming.
{Ed001's Note - it was not Mo's agent. That is something that has been made clear many times. The guy is his lawyer and was doing his job. Mo never ever wanted to leave.}
06 Dec 2025 22:50:14
“All things end badly otherwise they wouldn’t end” can’t remember who said it.
He’s a legend of the club, but they all leave eventually.
Even King Kenny got sacked.
If Salah has played his last game I don’t care how it ended, he’s a club legend and he’ll always be celebrated as a legend in Liverpool.
06 Dec 2025 23:02:11
Another of slots failings. How much nore damage will he and Hughes be allowed do before they get sacked?
06 Dec 2025 23:11:47
I was referring to Hughes not being at the required level, Ed.
{Ed001's Note - apologies, my mistake, I was reading quickly and misread it.}
06 Dec 2025 23:18:27
No worries Ed, it was easy to read it that way. And only Szoboszlai is the answer to your question!
{Ed001's Note - very true, sadly. Ekitike was the other, right up until Slot decided to drop him in order to play a clearly nowhere near ready Isak.}
06 Dec 2025 23:19:32
Mo will never be a legend in my book. Hissy fit when subbed by Klopp, followed by another one from the bench v West Ham. Played a huge role in Klopp retiring.
And now another tantrum when his ego has lost us so many games.
Sorry, but he has turned into C Ronaldo. Imagine Barnes or Rush behaving like this when their legs had gone?
Total onanist.
07 Dec 2025 00:34:36
Turn it in monster! How has his legs gone in 8 weeks? The system slot got us playing is making everyone look finished.
07 Dec 2025 01:28:59
I’m sorry, Mo can f*ck right off now. He’s not deserved a place in the team recently whilst earning £400k per week, it must be awful for him. If he wants a legacy here then he needs to have some humility or, basically, he can leave tomorrow. The guy is a selfish ahole.
07 Dec 2025 03:32:54
“. he (Salah) speaks when he wants something …” what a strange thing to say. Is Salah the first person to actually speak up when he wants something? He’s a bloke at work who has every right to call things out, same as the rest of us.
“Another of slots failings” Again, a strange comment. The overwhelming majority of people using the forum were apoplectic at the thought of the club letting Mo’s contract run down and there was great rejoicing when he signed. I believe Ward and Hughes would take responsibility for 5he decision to re-sign him. The money doesn’t matter from a fan’s perspective unless one or more of the fans are paying the players’ contracts. Of course if he hadn’t resigned the club wouldn’t have received a transfer payment. If he plays well for Egypt at Afcon then we can expect (and possibly accept) a large bid from Saudi / Qatar.
Slot has chosen not to play a woefully out of form Salah. I don’t see what’s wrong with that.
I know it’s in vogue to slag Slot off and to ascribe all sorts of weird and wonderful and imaginary faults to Slot but at least let’s try and apply a bit of sense and perspective.
07 Dec 2025 06:26:04
Whatever the situation I think it is unprofessional of Salah, and I think these things should be kept behind closed doors. No player is bigger than the club, Salah included, and no matter how disappointed he feels he shouldn’t be coming out with these sorts of public statements.
Slot isn’t good enough, I think that is clear to see to everyone. How long they give him I don’t know - I think we are on such a clear downward trend, and he shows so few signs of changing it, that he can and should be sacked now. Unimaginably bad situation we are in, don’t think any one could have seen this coming.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Seano..
07 Dec 2025 09:41:25
In the heat of the moment, under stress, anyone can say something blunt, even top professionals. It happens. Salah was spot on. If I was in his position, I’d be absolutely raging. He’s the only one who gets dropped, yet Konate still gets into the team? I’d be fuming. He’s a legend of the club, and he’s earned the right to speak his mind. Since when did being honest become a crime? What happened to freedom of speech?
Yeah, Salah loves the spotlight, we all know it. That’s part of who he is. But he’s also one of the most passionate players we’ve had, he cares deeply about this club, and everything he does is because he wants success for us. The fact it’s come to the point where he has to speak publicly says everything. That’s not on him. That’s on the people above who’ve ignored the warning signs and dragged this out far too long. The blame is being fired in completely the wrong direction.
And let’s be honest, the players look desperate for Slot to be gone. You can see it. You can feel it. Performances don’t drop like this by accident. This isn’t a blip, this is a squad crying out for change. Slot needs to be out of the club immediately. He’s causing needless chaos, division and frustration. This is not who we are and it’s gone on long enough.
07 Dec 2025 11:29:15
Salah not a club legend? but you are a super fan? pathetic is an understatement. Salah deserves so much better than some of you its unbelievable.
ALL THE PLAYERS WANT SLOT OUT.
07 Dec 2025 12:35:28
100% spot on Salah.
Salah simply spoke the truth, no matter how much it hurts, or those on their high horses will complain about it, but even we can see that Salah is spot on.
Game after game, most of those players put in half arsed performances, yet none of them get the same treatment as Salah.
Besides Szobo and Hugo, which other player goes out there and performs, none of them. Yet they don't get to sit on the bench and take the slack for our poor performances.
The funny thing is, whether Salah plays or not, the performances are still crap.
I understand why Salah did what he did. if we were to put ourselves in his shoes, how many of us would have done things differently?
07 Dec 2025 16:02:49
We have no one to play instead of Konate. Gomez is not an option, wouldn't start for any team in this league.
07 Dec 2025 16:52:33
Florian Gomez started against West Ham. So cool story.
