@IanNarine @jamesvictorb Remain professional.
Give your all in training and on a matchday and keep grievances behind closed doors where they belong.
English
@jamesvictorb Ok so what are the Senior pros that agree with you supposed to do if both of you agree that the best interest of the club is that the Manager goes but the DoF who is soon out of contract wants him to stay. What is your action in the interest of “the Club”?
English
For clarity I think the manager should go, and I have done since November. But that doesn’t mean he deserves senior pros coming out and advocating mutiny against him. That’s just unprofessional and makes a bad situation worse
English
@GeekyRob @GooalMouth One of two blokes to lift a league title for us in 30 odd years but, yeah, a fucking terrible appointment…..🫠
English
@GooalMouth Many agree with Salah too. I'm one of them.
Slot should never have got the job in the first place.
English
Interesting, I was shouted down yesterday for calling out his ill-timed and ill-advised post.
Seems many agree.

Mo Salah is the best player I’ve seen play for Liverpool. He is and always will be a legend of the club and much of what he has said - in terms of this season not being good enough - is absolutely right. That doesn’t necessarily mean he has gone about things in the right way.
English
@shillcock_paul @HenryJackson87 It surprises me just how many fans believe that Salah’s post was motivated by actual concern for the future direction of the club.
There’s only one reason that very carefully crafted (and timed) PR statement was released and it wasn’t because he was worried about the club.
English
@HenryJackson87 I have absolutely no problem saying what he said
He’s leaving soon, he could have easily have gone quietly but he‘s trying to help the club he loves avoid sleepwalking into mediocrity for years
We keep Slot this summer and a bottom half league position by October is baked in
English
A very fair and balanced take on it all.
Henry Winter@henrywinter
Mo Salah is being called selfish and also caring about Liverpool with his “heavy metal” comments. It’s possible to be both, caring about himself and the club. One of Liverpool’s greatest ever players was making a legitimate point, and he has a right to. Salah could have delivered his critique to the hierarchy in private but he’s leaving, rightly so as the revered 33-year-old is not the force of old. He’s more string quartet than heavy metal. By posting his critique to his 62m followers on Instagram, Salah wants everyone to know how he feels - and how he feels a club he’s served so well and loves so much can re-find its way. Of course, it’s embarrassing for Arne Slot, especially when so many of Salah’s team-mates "like" the post (whatever their reasons). It heaps more pressure on the head coach. But the football overseen by Slot isn’t good enough at the moment. It lacks direction, intensity and authority. Salah is right. Slot has to focus most on ensuring Liverpool finish in the Champions League positions, rise above the criticism and give Salah the send-off a club legend deserves at Anfield on Sunday. #LFC
English
@scouserunlfc Who else has raised concerns about the work environment?
English
@ThePLDad Elliott, Nyoni, Salah, Konate, Ramsey an even Wirtz, he has made several backhanded compliments or thrown shade at them in press conferences. You can also add in Quansah from last year.
I’m making an assumption on work environment, given it’s not just Salah raising concerns
English
Ask yourself this - does this statement from Mo help or hinder Liverpool in their preparation for our next game?
It’s a shitty thing to do publicly. The timing is even shittier.
We know Salah has form for doing this.
Mohamed Salah@MoSalah
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
English
You’ve made a fair few assumptions there, Chris.
He’s called out some players and I’d say a fair few have warranted it but, by and large, he’s defended his players - including Salah who has now twice publicly taken a swipe at him.
In what sense has he isolated Salah?
What evidence do you have for a toxic working environment? And how have you concluded that Slot is the primary cause of that?
“It is far from good enough. It is my responsibility, whether we win or lose”
Does that sound like taking accountability to you?
English
@ThePLDad Manager calling out players, inc junior youth players in the public domain. Manager isolating Salah trying to make him the scapegoat for his own failings. Manager taking zero accountability for team underperformance. Manager creating a toxic working environment. Should I go on?
English
@Incredulous__ He’s not stuck his neck out.
That would imply he’s risking something.
He’s risking nothing.
He’s done it 100% for personal gain.
English
If you don't understand the context of Salah's post then you're seriously deluded. It would be easy to keep quiet and leave, but he's stuck his neck out and expressed his dismay and concern for the future. A true legend who loves the club over his legacy. Haters will milk it.
English
Mo Salah on Arne Slot last season
“He doesn’t have an ego. Like ‘OK, I made a mistake, now I’ll try to sort it’.
“It’s happened many times, it happens sometimes during the games, sometimes at half-time, sometimes at the end of the game.
“He doesn’t have an ego, ‘things are not working well, OK I’ll change it’ and that’s it.
“He’s very good tactically,” Salah continued.
Salah has also been pleasantly surprised with the 46-year-old’s authority, saying that he prefers to “tell you things to your face.”
“He likes confrontation! Which is good, somehow it’s good. Not always, but it’s good!” he laughed.
“He tells you things to your face straight away.
“I think it’s very important for the players to know what the manager wants and he really explains it really well.
“His explanations are black or white, so take it or leave it.”
🤔
English
I disagree personally mate.
Salah has a huge amount to gain from this statement and I believe that’s why he’s made it. He’s got a track record of speaking when it benefits him (as Carra called him out for) and this is another example of that.
Salah isn’t most concerned with falling standards. He’s most concerned with the framing that he’s “washed” and his legs have gone.
When you’re 34, a free agent in a week and negotiating your next big contract, that narrative makes a huge difference.
English
@ThePLDad @beth_lindop Mate I agree, Salah in December was wrong, 100%.
But this isn’t about him, he’s concerned for the club he loves, what fans have gone through and what will go through if slot remains.
Slot is no stranger to hanging players out either, treatment of Ramsey for eg.
It’s just a mess.
English
Still people coming out in the press to defend Slot.
People like @beth_lindop today, clearly being nudged by her friends at the club/ESPN to mount his defence and again taking fans for idiots.
English
@scouserunlfc What shitty working conditions are you claiming Salah is working within?
English
@ThePLDad Do you call out all employees for going public with shitty working conditions - or do you think because of what they’re paid, footy players don’t have that right?
English
Do you not think solidarity is required in times like this?
Liverpool, in fact any big club, don’t and shouldn’t air their dirty laundry in public. It never helps matters on the pitch.
Salah has been a legend on the pitch but his conduct off it here, just as it was after Leeds, is more than questionable.
English
@beth_lindop Yeah no worries. People can think differently, that’s life but I’m sick of those with in positions like yours taking fans as mugs and lecturing that we all expected a Klopp 2. Salah is simply furious, like the majority of fans, he’s earned the right to speak.
English
@DilzLFC @BIGBADDERS I guarantee half of the players don’t quite appreciate what they’re liking.
They don’t know it’s a thinly veiled attack on the manager. They’re just supporting a team mates social post.
English
@ThePLDad @BIGBADDERS This time no his first outburst was bad for all yes. Even half of the fucking squad agree with him. Clearly has the backing of the dressing room what message does that send to you? Dressing room is gone.
English
@DilzLFC @BIGBADDERS I’ve talked about his errors at length. All of which need to be addressed. None of which are sackable.
Can we agree Salah has been unprofessional?
English
@ThePLDad @BIGBADDERS Add to that there is no one that on the Slot deserves another chance ever wants to talk about his tactics or his faults, always others. Salah has regressed as you do it's very normal for players to age.
English
System is broken and it doesn’t even benefit the kids in the end.
Countless talented youngsters get teased into playing for these huge clubs but get lost in their academies and their growth and development stunted.
English
@Shu7e @HenryJackson87 I absolutely agree Salah won’t be going to Saudi.
He wants to play in the Champions League for a top club next year.
And he will.
He’ll be talking to those clubs now.
Negotiating.
Hence this statement…
English
@ThePLDad @HenryJackson87 Hahaha. “Preparation for the final game” The coach is in Ibiza and because of that most of the players are in Monaco for 2 nights.
Idiots like you have zero idea how much pull Mo has and teams (not in saudi) will be falling over themselves to sign him.
It’s selfless you idiot
English
@ianyoungkop I guarantee half of the players don’t quite appreciate what they’re liking.
They don’t know it’s a thinly veiled attack on the manager. They’re just supporting a team mates social post.
English
Shocked Gravenberch has liked it, unless even he’s decided Slot played him too much.
Samuel@SamueILFC
Players who have liked Mo Salah’s post: • Dominik Szoboszlai • Florian Wirtz • Ryan Gravenberch • Ibrahima Konate • Andy Robertson • Hugo Ekitike • Milos Kerkez • Curtis Jones • Jeremie Frimpong • Wataru Endo • Giovanni Leoni • Harvey Elliott • Stefan Bajcetic • Calvin Ramsay • Rhys Williams
English
“If Slot knew how to use him”
He had his best season ever under Slot. Broke the record last year.
Slot absolutely knows how to use him.
Salah has accepted zero accountability for his performances this season and sought to shift the blame on to the manager and the club.
We all know why that is.
English
@BIGBADDERS It is and it isn't he's using as a example having a pop at the coach for taking that identity of being a feared team to whatever we are now. Mo has regressed I don't think anyone can deny that but still could've been very effective if Slot knew how to use him.
English
@mcmulhar Carra called him out for it on live TV after Bournemouth, first game of the season!
Short memories.
English
Many replying with “nobody ever accused Arne Slot of being too attacking.”
When I show clear examples of that happening earlier this season, there’s no response.
There are actually legit complaints about Slot this season but most are too busy rewriting history to see them…
Harry McMullen@mcmulhar
Arne Slot was criticised for being too attacking at the start of this season. He ends it being criticised for not being heavy metal enough. If you stop to ask *why* the playstyle is this way currently, you see issues beyond the coach. Most prefer not to ask.
English
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team.
The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!
English
@ThePLDad @HenryJackson87 Appreciate the discussion without it descending into expletives and ad hominems. Refreshing
English
@stodders79 @HenryJackson87 Conducting an interview with Salah ≠ Gerrard validating his behaviour.
English
@ThePLDad @HenryJackson87 He’s a great statesman for the club. But his actions in recent weeks (reaching out to Salah, interviewing him) suggest he doesn’t think Salah is the problem here. Which he isn’t. Weak men create hard times…
