“Man United will say Mbeumo has been fantastic this season. 🤷‍♂️ 🗣️ “All these wide forwards, Salah’s better than!” Mohamed Salah has quietly provided more goal contributions this season than the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Bukayo Saka 👀

@HendrickD82 He posted at least 10 times repeating the same nonsense. He is a big fan of Slot so busy campaigning.

AFCON is corrupt. Morocco and Senegal have been battling domination over CAF for years. From a fabricated pen awarded to Morocco, not ending the game when Senegal players walked out, no yellow/red cards when Senegal players returned to the fiasco of giving AFCON to Morocco.
Osasu Obayiuwana@osasuo

If, as a top source in African ⚽️ has told me, that Olivier Safari Kabene, the head of @CAF_Online’s Referees Committee, told Patrice Motsepe, at an exco meeting, that he gave an order to Jean-Jacques Ngambo Ndala, the centre referee of the #AFCON final (pictured right), not to issue yellow cards to the #Senegal players that walked off the field in Rabat, why have disciplinary proceedings not been instituted against both men? Why is Kabene still in his job, when he had no right to give such an egregious instruction? Why is Ndala still on the #FIFAWC2026 list?

@D_a_v_e_0_7 I agree. He used it vs Frankfurt and Inter when he dropped Salah. Even the last 4 games after Frimpong’s return he still didn’t go 4222. Strange.

@PartedBeard Fairs…but let’s be honest Slot never really wanted to change that system He only does it when everything goes gloomy We’ve had Isak injured since December…Salah was gone for Afcon Yet he didn’t use that system consistently

Many of us wanted 4312 or 4222 since August as it was clear based on the new players profile and changing characteristics of some existing players. Why did Slot resist? The most stupid yet logical answer: Slot wanted Gakpo to continue starting and 4312 or 4222 benches Gakpo.

@BenTodd897127 No. Slot tried it vs Frankfurt and Inter when he dropped Mo. Here are Liverpool’s last 4 games with Frimpong available where he continued with 4231 (lost 2 and drew 1) When Slot’s back to the wall he changes tactics and even behavior on the sideline. He did both last night.

Slot didn't resist. We've played similar systems this season when the players have been available. The issue is we've had to use either a CB or a CM at right back countless times this season and naturally they do not play the same way as frimpong or bradley.

@D_a_v_e_0_7 True, but in a front two he is not a guaranteed starter while as LW he is. With all forwards fit and you’d want to select the starting two, he’s fourth.

@PartedBeard Crazy thing is Gakpo can play in such a formation as he did for Netherlands in the Wc which brought him closer to goal

@Loctite647 Why is this stupid negativity? Salah, Isak, Ekitike and Gakpo will compete for the two positions upfront and rotating across the different competitions. Also, with injuries you need depth.

@yakubutsu7 Gakpo the LW is a guaranteed starter with only Rio as an option after Diaz was sold. Rio was ignored till last two weeks. Also, Slot never liked Wirtz on the left. Gakpo in a 4222 competes with red hot Ekitike, so not a guaranteed starter at all (unlike LW).

@PartedBeard I'm sorry but why could the hybrid LW/ST guy not play in the hybrid LW/ST position I keep seeing this idea floated about like he wasn't second top scorer last season in a LW/ST position? 😂

Mo Salah has created more big chances (8) than any other player in the #UCL this season. 🇪🇬👑

On Salah. It’s you choice to focus on: A- His missed pen and chances B- His constant threat being involved in all Liverpool goals: 1st, won corner leading to goal, assist for 2nd, GK spilled his shot for Graven to score 3rd and he scored 4th. C- Both

No surprise Josh agrees. It’s framing narratives rather than football analysis, one dimensional pretending Slot is a victim of circumstances, and pretending this is how modern football operates as if sacking managers for bad performances and results is a new thing.

Liew is a good writer pretending to be a football writer. He can be fashion writer and those into fashion will call it drivel. In this Slot is scapegoated article the football analysis is simplistic and generic, but if you don’t know much about football you’d say well written.
Mark Carey@MarkCarey93

I think this is an excellent piece from Jonathan Liew, and it eloquently describes what I have been pondering for the past few weeks. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@AbsoluteBruno Bruno has 136 G/A in the PL not 200+ but an account with 110K followers just lies for some cheap attention. Salah now has 281 G/A which is more than double Bruno’s 136 G/A … hope this is noted.

Bruno just entered 200+ right? And he’ll probably stay 2 or 3 more seasons… alright noted
