What a baby.
I thought at the time that they’d regret giving him a nice shiny contract extension at his age and I’m immensely pleased that it’s not working out for everyone involved.

Last time he was dropped he did something similar. Great way to ruin your legend status with the club.
-
He's always had that selfish petulant streak, but he's not entirely wrong that having been involved with something like 60% of Liverpool's goals last season (I forget the actual stat but it's pretty wild) on his way to a record breaking season that was key to winning the league, his continuous presence on the bench does seem to be indicative of the failings of the manager.
I'm also not convinced he's harming his memory. He long since cemented his status as a club legend, Slot will be forgotten long before Mo Salah is.

It's football. Think of the money.
I imagine it's highly likely Liverpool wanted to re-sign Salah, to secure his retained value (big transfer fee from Saudi). Probably more than they wanted to pay a 31 year old 400k a week. It's not unlikely they would prefer to stop that bleed now, and cash in their chips.
I have not been persuaded, vis a vis actually looking at him, that his level has dropped as far as some would have you believe. What is definitely true is that he isn't getting the early balls to isolate him one-on-one with a defender (his strength) that (predominantly) TAA supplied last season. This was entirely predictable (it's not without reason that this is the first season that I have not put Salah in my fantasy side).
What he says is probably not without justification. Despite all the apparent pant wetting, the club gets to sell him for top moola in January, and he gets the blame.
Which was almost certainly the idea from the outset. The club couldn't have him being happy and successful, and jeopardising their cash objectives by potentially turning down a move.

Some outstanding goals in the FACup today. Checkout the Macc lads top bins finish, for a potential most top bins top bins of the season award.

Guess this explains why Salah is on the bench, he may be an all time great but he's no Jacob Murphy.
-
West Ham deservedly take the lead away at Brighton. Nuno is starting to really have an impact there.
-
So we're back in the bottom 3? Cheers, Brighton.
-
Yes. Puts us back in bottom three and I'm still not sure who is going to be worse than us to take up that 18th place?
Our next 5 are Spurs, Fulham, City, Everton, Villa.
Maybe 4 points from that?
No rush to build that 52000 seater stadium I don't think
-
Can’t see it. I do think we are fucked. Leeds and West Ham are both putting some fight and form together whereas we capitulate in the first few minutes and don’t look like recovering.
Looks like Liverpool game will be the high watermark for the season.
-
Exactly how I feel. I look around and can't see three worse teams. Plus we've got alot of games over the next couple of months - more than anyone we're competing with.
-
Out of the bottom 3!
VAR permitting. -
Oh look, West Ham capitulate and throw away a lead late on again. How can they expect to finish ahead of anyone already above them?
-
VAR (Incorrectly) give the goal.
-
Overhead kick. Almost took the head off. Ball hit knee then arm. Accidental I say. Anyway, fuck off Nuno.
Things are indeed a little sticky though. We need to at least make Spuds sweat next Sunday.
Chicago: Clenching.

Bizarre that they ignored the defender nearly having his head kicked off.
