One of the notable differences between Manchester United and Liverpool is the different reaction to world-class players leaving this season. Timing is everything in these situations, so as Casemiro walked off at Old Trafford for the last time in the 81st minute against Nottingham Forest, there was a warm glow, many a poignant tribute and a heartfelt hug with the manager. Mohamed Salah is another truly world-class player but it might feel slightly different when he makes his final bow at Anfield against Brentford. The simmering bad feeling between him and Arne Slot became brutally clear in a very unsubtle social media post from the Egyptian.
Mohamed Salah's explosive social media post over the weekend has everyone talking. The Egyptian hung Arne Slot's tactics out to dry - and even worse for the manager - many of his first-team team-mates liked the message. Salah's post made that extremely obvious, although we could have worked it out by the pathetic performance dished up against Aston Villa on Friday anyway.
Liverpool will bid farewell to Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah with a special-send off before Sunday's final game of the season at Anfield. Mosaics will be displayed by supporters before kick-off, with the Kop leading the tribute to Salah and the lower Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand honouring Robertson. "I'm going to miss them a lot," Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk told club media.
Forward was dropped after a previous attempt to undermine coach, but doing so now could spark mutinyWe can safely say how Arne Slot would like to respond to Mohamed Salah’s latest attempt to undermine him. The Champions League trip to Inter in December, when Salah was left at home as punishment for his incendiary interview at Leeds three days earlier, provides as clear an indication as any. But should a repeat offence result in a repeat sanction on Sunday? Liverpool and their besieged head coach could do without inflaming a potential mutiny at Anfield.Salah decided to draw up battle lines before his departure, with Saturday’s social media post criticising Liverpool’s direction under Slot. His concerns are widely shared by the Liverpool fanbase and the Liverpool squad, it seems, given the support it received from Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andy Robertson and several members of last summer’s underwhelming recruitment drive. Arrive at great expense, fail to deliver and fuel the sense that a toxic civil war is erupting behind the scenes: thanks for your efforts lads. It is impossible to say what prompted each individual like on Instagram but that is the impression the collective has given. Continue reading...
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been "selfish" and should be dropped from the squad for the Reds' final match of the season against Brentford at Anfield, says former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. Salah said Liverpool must return to being a "heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear" after a 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa which left their Champions League place in doubt. In December, he told reporters that his relationship with Arne Slot had broken down and this latest social media post has been seen as a further criticism of the head coach.
