I am lost, he has been given a lot of grace, as people have pointed out his number and form since February have dropped off and he was and until recently playing 90 minutes every game and not producing.
I have said multiple times that Mo isn’t solely responsible for all of our problems. I’m rebutting the presumption from Mo Salah to claim entitlement to start. I’m explaining why Slot’s decision is justified.
That isn’t to say that Slot and the players have had many other issues, that I’ve also discussed ad nauseum.
I don’t take joy in saying this. I’m a big Mo Salah fan. Do you know where I was when we won the title last April? I was in Cairo, at the Pyramids, wearing a Mo Salah jersey.
That is why I’m very disappointed in his comments, and hopeful that there is a resolution that sees an upturn in play from him (and everyone else).
I am in complete agreement that whatever the circumstances, I sincerely wish he hadn’t made those comments publicly in the mixed zone.
Just get your agent to earn his retainer by talking in your behalf to Hughes/edwards/slot
With the outburst and the manner it unfolded… I think MO has clipped his own wings here. If anyone viewed it as a ‘him or me’ power struggle of sorts, can be left in no doubt that LFC hold the high ground at this point.
In my opinion, all MO has succeeded in doing, has been to hasten his own departure.
AS unceremoniously dropped him once, will come a lot easier to do it again if he feels it needs doing, as will dragging him off at the 60min mark if he feels it needs to be done
I’ve been one of the most supportive of Slot here, but I wish he’d quit with this negative energy before games. Allows players to find excuses and risks self-fulfilling prophecy. Far better to welcome adversity with a ‘bring it on’ approach like Andy Farrell does with Ireland rugby team
Sounds like Legohead.
Couldn’t agree more!!
It’s something we have no power changing right now. Talk about it after the game if you must. It adds nothing to the team and subconsciously plants the “woe is me” seed
Jurgen did exactly the same, but I agree
Well he isn’t is he….well hope not.
Can you name a player who has ever used this as an excuse?
He has to talk about it. He’s obligated to talk about the welfare of his players.
Ultimately its about human biology not mentality.
When shit hits the fan, put a bunch of midfielders on the pitch, tuck your shirts in, get compact and start slowly rebuilding.
The ship is slowly being steadied.
Please… no tucked shirts and short shorts🙈
I’ve looked at the table for the first time in two months. How the fuck are we only two points of 4th? Fucking hell, if we hadn’t shat the bed against Leeds and shown more urgency against Sunderland we’d still be in with a shot at the title. I’m genuinely amazed.
So it turns out not playing Gakpo is the catalyst to this mini run of wins.
Without Gakpo, Kerkez plays back to his overlapping best, no more cut in and shoot, no more cut in and high crosses to the back post…
However, Slot likes Gakpo a lot so watch him return to the starting lineup once he is fit lol…
Slot to Gakpo: “simple rule Cody, every time you cut in and shoot (and don’t score) the next play you HAVE to pass to Milos when he’s joining attack.
If you don’t you’re coming straight off
I don’t care if I have to put Mama in your position”
I feel like Mama might be awesome running down the left wing.
Mama would absolutely trample all over any right back that dares get in his way
Possibly…just possibly…the situation hasn’t been as bad as what this and every other Liverpool forum makes it out to be?
