Liverpool FC Forum

He’s playing in a different Liverpool side now, there’s no through balls from TAA, he has no Hendo in the middle, there’s no Bobby of Mane supporting and creating goal chances. He’s 33 and being marked out of the game. He’s gone from being unplayable 6 years ago when we won the CL to being isolated because the dynamics have changed. Time to move on.

His form had already dipped badly in the last 10-15 games of last season. So this has not just suddenly happened this season. Its already a 30 game poor run of form. In the end we limped across the line to the title last season not because Mo dragged us across the line but more because Arsenal didn’t take advantage. Mo was also non existent in both those PSG games a swell ! And you don’t spend over 300 million on Isak, Ekitike and Wirz without knowing full well that its going to badly upset the existing order especially a 33 year old Mo who was already not performing.

I'm pretty sure the Liverpool hierarchy including Slot knew this would happen but probably didn’t expect it to come about so quickly. Get the 150 million from Saudi and move on.

It’s a pivotal moment though, the end of the era and in with the new. No way back now.

What a selfish thing to do to come out and speak like that in the worst possible time. Slot may be doing a lot of things wrong right now but dropping Salah is not one of them, we've been slightly better without him IMO. Salah obviously thinks himself bigger than the club, talking about what he's done for us as if the club has not done even more for him, monetarily and otherwise. If he doesn't have any respect for the club, for the money he's earning alone he should have kept his mouth shut or at least spoken behind closed doors. He's been dropped for 2 games and he's acting like he's been frozen out of the team ffs.

At this point get rid. Thanks for the memories but this sort of behaviour isn't acceptable in this club. We're not getting £100m for him at this point, would be lucky to get £50m tbh, but if Saudi is willing to get him in Jan then I'd sell.

The last thing the club should do is bend to him. They cant be seen to support this carryon where a player thinks hes bigger than the club. He has not only disrespected the manager but also his team mates. Things aren't great atm and he should be one of the players we can rely on to help guide others out of this mess. All he has done is made it about him which it the type of guy he is and that is unacceptable. His team mates must be furious and the mess it will cause if he gets his way. The best thing we can do is cash out in January and send him on his way. Etitike and Isak are the future not a washed up diva!!

Aside from this there is obviously other issues in the background. I get dropping Salah but cant understand how Gakpo hasnt suffered the same fate. He hasnt done anything to justify starting games and it is purely down to him being Dutch. His one dimensional style is easily replaced and we have the squad to do it. Etitike plays there for France, Chiesa or Wirtz can also fill in either side. He seems to be so reluctant to make the changes we all know need to happen so in that aspect hes dug his own hole. I'd also question his relationship with most of the squad as he seems like a cold character. Some players just dont have a fair chance with him. Why is he sticking with Konate when hes in such bad form also. Its a work environment at the end of the day and everyone knows what its like to work with some who dont pull their weight , never mind being rewarded for it. Slot really needs to show better management Imo.

I can't believe some people actually support Salah in what he did. Social media is full of support for him, Dejan Lovren wrote about how he's right in what he's doing and even Jordan Henderson liked that comment. Now I can excuse someone unimportant like Lovren who is also a very close friend with Salah, but Henderson was a captain in this club and if he can't see how wrong was Salah in doing what he did then he never understood what this club is all about.

I really can't understand some fans with their celebrity loving minds. Salah is literally a nobody compared to the club. Disliking what Slot is doing is fine but what Salah did is simply inexcusable and you don't have to like Slot to condemn that.

Listening to Carra I think he's 100% spot on about all this, I really hope fans in the city at least share his views.

One thing about losing Salah is going to be a huge gaping hole on the right side. Salah owned the right side and he is/was instrumental in the way we play, watching us against Inter there were a few times that outlet was needed and no one was there. I think he needs to go but like Trent we will miss what he did on the field and we shouldn’t kid ourselves. We obviously need to evolve as that is football but I will fondly remember the Salah Firmino Mane partnership as they were fantastic and should be remembered as one of the best front threes ever to grace English football.

Mate I don't think will see anything as good as that. Salah, Firmino, Mane was poetry, beautiful to watch.

When those 3 were at the height of their powers they were as good defensively as they were going forward, teams literally struggled to get out of their own half and god knows how many goals/chances we created from winning the ball high up the pitch. Obviously the likes of Hendo, Gini, Fab, Milly etc etc had a lot to do with that too.
In sport as in life nothing lasts forever though.

Surely it's the individual person's opinion and just because it differs other peoples opinion doesn't make it wrong? Just as in everything in life, some will support it and some will be against it. It's all subjective to personal opinion.
Me personally thought he overstepped the mark and that conversation should've been had behind closed doors with the gaffer, not on TV. But, this outburst doesn't make me forget the great things he has done for this club, if he moves to Saudi then so be it but he has a history here and is right up there with some of the best we've had.

However, others will no doubt see it differently and that's fine too. I don't pay much attention to anything Jordan Henderson reckons he believes in, not after the whole 'Proud to support Pride but I'm off to Saudi' situation.
As for Carra, well, legend he maybe but he pokes his nose in far too much.

Mo is a legend but hes fallen off the pace bigtime. He hasnt got it in him anymore to be starting games every week regardless of past endeavours. Hes been poor and has had enough games to turn it around. It hasnt worked so it was right to drop him. Thats the bottom line. If hes not happy then sell him but he can do one if he thinks he can have it his own way with terminating his contract by mutual consent.

I think we will start to see the best for Wirtz when Mo leaves for AFCON

Salah didn't have a sniff the whole game, semi final Vs Senegal. Guess he'll be booking a flight back to Liverpool tomorrow.

Unless there's a 3rd and 4th place playoff, that is

yeah he'll return and demand a place in the first 11 as he believes it's his god given right. Slot should bench him for a game or two and use him as a sub, just until he acclimatizes to the pace of the Prem again

And look who scored!

Leaving the end of the season. It's official.
Pity it's ending this way, after all the glory years and the service. But time waits for no man.
Just can't figure out where he's gonna go. Saudi is a war zone
