God, i see Salah playing in Turkey and it boils my blood. He would have taken this side to a new level this season
If they assured him Slot was gone by end of season, i think he would have just bid his time out and stayed put and killed it under Adoni.
What an absolute blunder.

He should have waited. It was more likely Arne was going than staying.

At least he left when he was still getting picked for the first team.
Would have been sad to watch him lose his place in the team.
I think the timing was probably about right, how many games has he had in Turkey?

Mo still a very good player and legend but he's no longer worth the hassle.
He would have done well under AI this season but he would have been rotated and his ego would explode again.
Like Ronaldo when he returned to United, if he had accepted starting some games and coming off the bench on others, he would have lasted a lot longer in the Prem instead of having to go to bloody Saudi. Hell i think he could still be an asset off the bench for Portugal but again his ego can't take it and he wants to play full 90s every game in his 40s.
So i agree- Salah the player would have done well this season but the ego would have done more harm than good when Munoz came in to give him a rest for example. i'm not even complaining-that ego got him and CR7 the generational output levels. But Mo is now where he belongs-with a club who will play him every game, give him the ball every attack and bow to his demands.

Right time for him to go. Move on.

Stop dragging up players that have left and look forward to the new generation. Jeez there's some right Eyore doom and gloom merchants today. we won btw.

I think the original poster is frustrated because the new generation is nowhere near the level of Salah, Mane, Firmino, with Hendo, Gigi, Fabinho behind, and TAA, and Robbo etc. the team has been stripped of most of its quality and replaced with Poundland versions. Some of the players haven't even been replaced and there is complete imbalance in the squad. 9 points off leaders after 7 games tells you everything you need to know. We will hopefully make champs league this season, but what is the point if we aren't going to challenge.
We have some bright talents coming through and that is positive but he needs to build a better midfield and forward line in my opinion. The club has wasted a lot of money on overpriced players who are underperforming. Why does Wirtz continue to keep his place? He should be dropped until he starts playing like a Premier League footballer. A spell on the sidelines would sort him out.

Munoz and Ngumoa are the future - give them the games.
17 Oct 2026 19:37:58
Stop bringing up players we have lost!
On another note I see Diaz got a hat trick for Munich!!

@666, he was the best in his position in the world for a good while. We were lucky to see him play for our club, but the Mo Salah playing in the Turkish league isn't the player he was in his prime for us. He wouldn't have those stats had he been with us this season.
Magnificent player but he is the past. Good luck to the lad and I hope he has a brilliant season for his club but it's time for us to move on imho.
{Ed666's Note - how do you know he wouldn’t have got those stats if he was still at Liverpool? He would have been playing further up the pitch, had lots more space and alas we’ll never know mate.

A huge part of why Mo underperformed last season was the fact that he wasn't getting the ball quick enough, he's most effective when he's got players on the back foot, utilising his strength to hold off chasing runs, his timing to cut inside and his intelligence for link-up play, but with Slotball he was getting the ball, late, flat-footed, in dead space with little in the way of supporting runs and settled, prepared defenders ahead of him. that's not Mo's game.
Iraolas style would have suited him a hell of a lot better than Slots.
{Ed666's Note - Keep on preaching brother! It baffles me how people don’t think Salah couldn’t be succesfull under AI.
