Exactly to both posts. Last time he spoke to the media was when he wanted his new contract. Since then, nothing. Where was his voice during his teams slump. Showing he is one of the leaders of the dressing room. He has done good things for them but he is playing badly. They are leaking goals. He doesn't track back and isn't doing what he is paid to do. Was shit most of the second half of last season. Liverpool should get rid to Saudi. They will get a fortune for him and he can be centre of attention in another league |  | | |

Blimey.
Harsh criticism.
If we had a player, who has scored 250 goals for our club, and we were calling him sh*t second half of last season, a season when he scored 29 goals and we won the league, sorry that point is seriously not correct.
Could cope with one of our players being that sh*t.
Even though, he has not been on form, still got 5 goals so far, and none of the other new attackers has as yet done much.
He is a top player, who wants to contribute, and he is frustrated, probably unwise to comment, and Slot probably does want to win his way with his own team.
Would wonder how we would react to a player kicking off, with this record at the club.
He wants to win, play and score goals. And its both as if its not his team are performing without him.
Think, we might be a little less critical than above !!! [Post edited 7 Dec 1:39]

"I don't have to fight every day for my position because I earn it. I earned my position."
There is the problem.
You're only as good as your last game. No one is entitled to a free pass. He earns in a week what any average person earns in a decade. Yes he is human and has emotions like any one else but please, he's done this before when a new contract was due. Say thank you very much, cut him loose and make some money back. No player is bigger than a club despite any achievements. |  | | |

Best thing though is that Liverpool are starting to implode. After spending nigh on half a billion obscene pounds on a few players and unsettling Isak to the extent that he all but went on strike it is a pleasure to watch them lose or struggle to beat promoted teams. | |

It's great. It's almost worth listening to Talksport on a Monday just to hear them phone in and whine.
I particularly like them turning on Slot after all those years of "Liverpool don't sack their managers" and other bullshit. They're just like any other big club. Just more entitled and even less likeable. |  |

They're haven't been playing well, even when they were winning earlier in the season. He wasn't playing well. He doesn't offer much to the team, when off form; He doesn't track back, he was trying too much on his own and mostly wasting opportunities.
In their current malaise, they need everyone working together, as a team. | | | |

Come on, fantastic player! Has struggled more than most after Jota’s tragic accident, and seems to suffer when reminded after 20 minutes, heard they were close. Sad it ends like this. |  | | |

In the Hall of Fame with de Bruyne. And Tommy Langley.
After last season’s false start, maybe Slot is Clough to Klopp’s Revie after all. [Post edited 7 Dec 11:08]

You can't live on past glories. It's all about today, the here and now. Salah is 33 now and like most athletes, is slowing down. His time at Liverpool would seem to be up. He should go to SA and earn his untold millions while he can. |  | | |

If he's genuinely struggling, surely he should be mature enough to go the mamager and have that conversation. Together, they could then work out an active support programme that would, ironically, probably include a spell away from the first team whilst he deals with his grief.
Sorry, but like the majority on this thread, I don't buy in to this cult of indulging this player, who is clearly having a two year old's temper tantrum and should be treated as such until he is grown up enough to apologise to the manager and his teammates. | | | |

Don’t wish to sound cruel but how long are they going to keep trotting out Jota’s death to explain their poor form? Sure, there was a lot of grief several months ago but is that really a major factor now ? I’m enjoying their misery anyway. Entitled bunch. | | | |

Didn’t stop them the first 5 games or so
Slot has wasted his transfer budget on 2 crap full backs and a German attacking midfielder when he already had Harvey Barnes who is the same age and better
Selling Diaz was a huge mistake also
As for salah it’s a bit like the Ozil dilemma Arsenal had a while back, do you sell and risk the wrath of the fan base or give them a huge contract, the problem he has the contract but not the hunger |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

As I've said and shown, budgets mean nothing without coaching, teamwork, and team spirit, all of which are at least as important (and actually much more important) than the money you spend. Ask Leicester (and, in the opposite direction, Luton)! [Post edited 8 Dec 3:01]

It's well known fact that Andy Robertson and Caoimhin Kelleher were Diogo Jota's closest friends at Liverpool, not Mo Salah. Anyone pretending otherwise is being both disingenuous and distasteful.
Lest we forget, in the immediate aftermath of Diogo's untimely death, Liverpool started the season like a train, winning 3 of their opening 4 PL fixtures and sitting top. Why would it suddenly affect their form many months later?
The simple fact is that Liverpool are going through a period of transition, where many of their established stars are ageing and moving beyond the peak of their powers. To make it to the top in professional football requires ego as well as talent. Unfortunately, ego has a habit of transcending talent when the latter begins to wane.
Salah simply has to knuckle down, make some adjustments to his game, work hard and prove the doubters wrong on the pitch. I have little doubt that he can do it if he applies himself. The problem is, he doesn't have to because the lure of big money, wide acclaim, and a second-to-none lifestyle in Saudi Arabia is real and difficult to resist. [Post edited 8 Dec 22:48]

'Difficult to resist', I suggest, for those for whom, as you eloquently put it, ego has begun to transcend talent. The best players want to play at the highest level for as long as possible, not strut like cosseted peacocks in a tin-pot league in a country dripping with more corruption than a night out with the former Prince Andrew. | |

That's what you think because you view the world through your prism. I suggest you place yourself in his shoes to understand the lure from his perspective.
Salah is 33 and not getting any younger. He's an Egyptian man who has grown up in a culture that is far more akin to Saudi Arabia than the UK. He speaks Arabic, is Muslim and has a family who would no doubt welcome the move as the quality of life would far outstrip anything that Merseyside can offer. If he were to switch, he'd be the number 1 star and the face of all things Saudi Pro League. He'd have advertisers eating out of the palm of his hand. Geographically he'd be far closer to Egypt (580 miles compared to 2,200) so trips to visit family or represent the national team would become much easier.
I'd say that's a fairly compelling option that in light of recent events he may well start considering. Other players in their prime with no cultural connections to the country have made the move so it's entirely plausible that Salah could follow. [Post edited 8 Dec 22:50]

You're just looking through another prism (as all of us do), and have basically just made my point for me even more emphatically. Obviously, for Salah, playing top-level football, respect for his team mates/fans, and leaving Liverpool with his reputation burnished rather than tarnished are strictly secondary and tertiary considerations. He and the Saudi league will be made for each other. [Post edited 9 Dec 11:50]
