Just reported on Sky that Mo is in the squad for tomorrow.
12 Dec 2025 19:01:23
No Gakpo, possibly no Isak and Chiesa clearly slept with Slot's wife or ran over his cat or something, so there's not too many options.
At least we can't accuse Slot of being petty about it and insisting on leaving Salah out despite the above.
{Ed025's Note - lets hope this is not the end of it though SR, we need a public apology to the club, his team mates the manager and the supporters, a mandatory £800,000 fine (2 weeks wages) and a warning as to his future conduct..at least..
12 Dec 2025 19:10:11
Now, question is, is this reconciliation or a send off.
Regardless, fingers crossed for a result on Saturday.
12 Dec 2025 19:25:29
A public apology for his public outburst would have been nice. He will clearly have to start as there is no way he sits on the bench, and that worries me. Maybe he will be so full of fury that he bags a few, but if he is as flat as he has been for the past 20 games or so, then all our momentum will be lost, and we will lose - and there is no way he can be subbed.
And I can’t really see him risking injury right before Afcon. I would have liked to see him come back after that tournament, and after an apology - but not right now.
He has let the club, his manager, and teammates down, and his inclusion may well likely lose us the game just so we can bow the knee to him before he moves on.
12 Dec 2025 19:39:29
This is win win if he starts. He plays like he had and it vindicates him being dropped. He bags a hat trick and even if he leaves, it's a great send off and we are likely to win. Personally, I think he'll spoon every attempt at controlling the ball and lose possession constantly and we'll all thank him with a love in at the end.
12 Dec 2025 19:45:15
As a supporter of 45 years I don't need any public apology, I would accept a 100% on the field when Mo plays.
12 Dec 2025 20:16:06
Private apology to behind closed doors is enough. Anyone with any sense can see that’s what’s happened, I just hope he means it!
12 Dec 2025 21:31:34
Ecogsi, you are way wiser and more measured than me. I think you are right, and it’s the sensible way to draw some kind of line under this.
12 Dec 2025 21:45:35
Wouldn’t be surprised if Salah gets brought on with 10 minutes to go, regardless of the score.
12 Dec 2025 22:19:08
Ed025.didn't know Slot was on 400k a week, no wonder he won't leave ?.
{Ed025's Note - he should be Strom, dealing with them ego,s in that dressing room mate.. :)
12 Dec 2025 23:05:10
Mostersouness- club has to come first. Slot and salah can’t make this about them. The only way out for the club was for salah to apologise behind closed doors and for slot the players and more importantly for slot accept it and move on. We’ll see what happens tomorrow bit I’m hoping slot swollen the embarrassment and salah when he enters the field reaches the standard expected, plays well, claps the kop and does no interviews.
He can talk about what’s gone on when he’s retired, he’s earned that ❤️.
12 Dec 2025 23:10:28
Seems slot has a big ego himself.
13 Dec 2025 00:42:08
I hope Salah starts, he's got a point to prove and we'll see something special from him I think.
12 Dec 2025 23:25:19
ED025, he'll need all that money for his flights home n Ibiza / Dubia holidays bfr the seasons ends.
{Ed025's Note - unless he gets the team firing you are probably right Strom, i think he has until January or else mate..
13 Dec 2025 09:02:49
Pure hatred for the Manager on this website with lot's of so called fans jumping on a bandwagon and wanting the Manager to fall on his face. As I said before, I thought the fans on this website were a bit different but obviously not. If we can start winning games then it could be a fairly successful transitional season especially in the Champions League since we just beat the finalist in 2/ 3 previous years in their own back yard.
Looking for a solid home performance today and then the momentum could really grow.
{Ed025's Note - i must tell you WM the feeling in the city seems to be that there is not a lot of sympathy for Mo mate, Slot has come out of this very well in fact, not for his tactical acumen but certainly for how he has conducted himself..
13 Dec 2025 09:29:32
Interesting insight Ed, AFCON has come at the right time I think, let the dust settle a bit and shift the focus back to the team.
{Ed025's Note - yeah i think thats worked out well Ernie, the white noise has to stop now and we dont want any silly comments from people when they go away on international duty which has happened in the past mate..
13 Dec 2025 09:41:28
Although the club may have been planning for Mo to go, and sounding out other clubs etc, Mo has been daft in going about things the way he did.
It’s another interesting day though, because if Mo plays a direct part in a win then the press may say it’s some sort of vindication of him, if he plays and we lose then the opposite could apply.
On a side note we’re being linked with a right back Palestra today. Although Connor plays well when fit I think it could be a good move to reinforce the right side.
13 Dec 2025 09:59:20
Thats why i personally think he will be brought on if things are comfortable or if there is an injury Hugo, surely Slot has to stand by his reasoning for dropping him in the first place.
13 Dec 2025 10:11:54
Ernest, Slot might start him in place of Isak.
Who knows, he may excel as a 2nd strker kind of role, 2nd spring of sort.
13 Dec 2025 10:41:14
Maybe so, I hope Chiesa gets the nod. The lad has never once spat his dummy out and gives everything on the pitch.
We will know in a few hours.
13 Dec 2025 11:07:15
Ed025. most people are split 50 / 50 on the manager in the city . esp the people i talk to, everyone wants us to do well but some can't see it happening but some die hards think its too early for a change of manager . I agree with you think he got till new year to sort it .
As for Mo I think he was right in what he said but maybe not in public . sure there is enough media people to let out little stories anyway so his side would have been heard anyway.
{Ed025's Note - i still think Mo was out of order Strom but of course thats just my opinion mate, but Liverpool supporters need to make their mind up on Hughes and Edwards though, they have been slated for throwing Mo under the bus but even if that is true aren,t they just doing whats best for LFC?, you complained when players left on a free and yet they may be making a business decision for the betterment of the club by selling Mo while they can get good money for him to reinvest in the squad?...just a thought..
13 Dec 2025 11:53:28
You’re right Ed, particularly in the sense that dealing with some of these very wealthy and egotistical players is not easy. The general rules of business won’t apply in the same way for the player as it may for the club, and we do want to get a fee for him if he goes.
The idea that you can pay someone £400k a week for sitting on the bench is fantasy stuff, regardless of how great he’s been. That’s what’s got Man Utd into the mess they’re in.
It’s possibly too simple today to think they should be all communicating with each other, and acting like adults. Everything is being played out in public, even his lunch with Hendo, and it’s become more of a game than the football which is never a good thing.
{Ed025's Note - i agree Hugo..
13 Dec 2025 13:53:47
They signed Mo up on a big wage but he could have got triple that in Saudi. so they thought he was worth it or on the other hand they might have promised him things for him to sign . me being a bit cynical they could have well been protecting the club, like getting a transfer fee in a year, who knows eh .
as for the Spanish Judas he to me is like that other Spaniish Judas Macmanaman, no proper scouser would do that to their own club . but that's my personal opinion about him .
13 Dec 2025 14:21:03
Thing is football fans up and down the country have been saying player power is ruining the game, no one is bigger than a club etc.
Isak behaved quite badly really to get out of Newcastle, although he claims a gentleman’s agreement wasn’t honoured. That hasn’t worked out well yet. Quite often it doesn’t, and it’s not a bad thing if there’s a shift back towards clubs holding a bit more power. We were also fed up with the way Trent gave the club the run around last year, and the way Konate is doing similar this year.
I don’t mind us taking a stand, and agreeing contracts but then selling a player. If Mo was on top form we wouldn’t sell him.
In this instance I didn’t like the idea of Mo being ostracised or forced out, but I was in agreement he should have been dropped. Let’s hope for a win, a cameo from Mo and a farewell wave as I think that’s what’s likely to happen here.
