I've just watched the Mo Salah interview and the Szoboszlai post match one.
Mo can have no complaints, he has been dropped due to his form, he has started and played 90 minutes week in week out based on a very well earnt reputation in the hope that he will come through the bad patch but it just hasn't happened. Instead of knuckling down and being a leader he talks of leaving. Conflicts behind the scenes? we will never fully know but things can turn sour in small groups very quickly.

Just give Dom the armband.

Forget about Brighton next weekend we have Inter on Tuesday, I wouldn't be suprised if Mo doesn't travel, I reckon Slot will not want to back down.

Its all a bit of a mess right now.

And if there is the slightest chance anyone can pass a message on to Arne, for the love of god please start Chiesa or even Rio instead of Gakpo.

Personally I thought giving Salah a contract was a mistake. He was never going to replicate last season's form and should have been allowed to leave. Especially given we have a number of players who can play on that side, who do also put the work in defensively and would also play more like the orthodox winger that we clearly need for Hugo/ isak

But Salah crying in the press is something the club shouldn't tolerate, a distinct lack of respect to the club that just gifted him a contract which he's currently not earning at all. I'm not a big slot fan either but it's not a players job to slate the manager in the press, its literally bad for everyone involved.

Pick a Liverpool manager from the past and none would put up with it except maybe Roy or Brenda. Salah should be reminded he plays for the club, not the other way around.

You won't be saying that when the 100m comes in for him,

And pick any manager from the past, none would have treated Salah the way Slot is right now. And none would have put Salah in a position where he actually needed to go into an interview and say what he said. Maybe the way he went about it was wrong, but what he said wasn’t. He IS being made to look like a scapegoat for our poor form. There are other players who have played just as badly, or even worse, but they keep getting picked week in, week out.

Konate is an accident waiting to happen every game, but he keeps getting picked. Macca is another one. Isak gets picked even when he’s not fit, over an in-form Ekitike. How many times has Chiesa saved us this season, yet Gakpo keeps getting picked ahead of him? Liverpool is in a mess, but it’s not because of this Salah interview.

{Ed025's Note - dont try and defend the indefensible Mfahmee, he has been a great player yes but you have to earn your place mate and Mo has not lately, nobody is bigger than the club and for me Salah is being a complete prick by going public the way he has, well thats my view anyway..

Funny how everyone now is saying Salah shouldn’t have got a new contract when in January and everyone was rubbishting a brick that he would leave. I guess hindsight makes geniuses out of all of us.

According to a few websites I've looked at Iraola is sat on under 2m per year in wages meaning we'd not have to pay much to get him out of the club. He's stated he's ambitious and wants a bigger club.

Even Carragher said on the Overlap the other day he thinks he's the next big one to make a jump. Style is very similar to ours. I'd be making contact and bringing him in.

Not sure we want a manager whose style is very similar to ours.

07 Dec 2025 04:16:06
Style is very similar to ours? Does he play limp, supermarket music and train rondo's endlessly?

The results are absolutely unacceptable. All involved are worthy of criticism. But I think what’s worst of all right now is the poisonous atmosphere within the club. The conflicts and divisions have to end. Unity is strength. Everyone—the players, the coaches, the staff, the supporters—must remember that.

Agree totally, start of the season it was the players, now its the manager, tonight to some its Mo. other teams fans must be laughing their heads off at us.

I’m glad Mo has come out and started the ball rolling. It’s not very Liverpool like but I’m glad he has. I’m getting Rodgers vibes from slot. He seems to have an answer for everything but no solution. He really has scapegoated certain players I’ve read tonight he supposed to have said konate is always at the scene of the crime? that's not very Liverpool like either. It doesn’t seem he got any skills in man management either. He has undone all the great work klopp done in building his 2.0 team. The difference between a world class manager and low level coach and dof.

I think Hughes will be covering his arse now and sharpening his knife someone will be going. I would never really back a player against the manager but in this case I do. Mo’s done it all worked with some of the best coaches he knows the score. His legs haven’t gone stupid tactics he’s been stifled as has the team this year, even tonight the refusal to cross the ball into the box and then pass it backwards was mind blowing. I think alladice would get a better tune out of us than slot.

Salah is a goner.

Spot on with all of that, mate. We're in a real rocky period right now but things will come good eventually, we just have to wait. The sooner we see the back of Slot the better.

The players clearly aren't happy, we need them to be the unit we know they can be again and push forward but under Slot? it's not going to happen. Delaying it just means we will continue to grind out sh*t results.

I dread to think where we’ll be by January if he’s still in charge.

07 Dec 2025 01:45:18
Nope, Mo needs to be acting like the adult here rather than like a baby,

I don't even know what to say, I watched the first half and up until the second goal went in and had to switch off as work was needing my attention, I wandered off and thought wow there's no way we let this slip, naive I know.

I turn on the game again to find it's at 2-2 and think to myself ah well normality for this season has resumed. Only to then feel a sense of guilt for not believing in us and yo my amazement we are back to 3-2, the joy and praise i was thinking for this team to perhaps have finally grown some cahones and fight for the win.

To then ignore my job and watch the rest of the match only for us to once again let the lead slip.

This is a result that I can't swallow this wasn't 2 nil down to fight back to 3-3 this was complete incompetence and not just from the manager.

The players are scared, scared to lose and scared to win. Slot can go because it can't get any worse. When the game was at 2-0 last season we would shut up shop and control the game.
The belief has gone, the fight has gone, I stand by my last post that slot has slowly over the past 16 months undone everything this club has built up since fsg took over.

We are not the same team but instead a group of individuals only thinking for themselves and not the good of the club and the team egos are showing, salah mouthing off to the press is just the beginning if a change isn't made. I Love our club im proud of my club but I will not blindly follow the clubs decisions without worrying, and what worries me the most, is that from top to bottom nobody at the club seems to be showing any form of comprehension or understanding of the problems this group of individuals is currently facing. Especially when so many outside of the club are able to see the issues.

Throwing money in January will not solve this apparent conundrum, tactics will stay the same, training will stay the same.
Fresh ideas are needed even just to get a bounce so we don't end up in relegation at this rate.
