Great performance from him today in difficult circumstances, the quality is there and he put in a decent defensive shift.

Showed very well how he can contribute to the team play without being on form so lets just hope he comes back more relaxed so we can witness the old Mo starting from February, as the team truly needs him to get us to top4 this season.

This new system suits him better than sticking him out wide, gets him closer to goal if this Brighton game is anything to go by. That said, we might never find out if it will really get the best out of him if club manage to sell him in January… We’ll see what happens there. I don’t see him or Slot staying beyond summer the way things are going, nor this system.

I hope Mo stays at least stays to the summer so he can have a proper send off, if he goes.

I like him to stay unless a crazy offer comes from the Saudies.

Enjoyed that he wasn’t the selfish Mo today he linked well, but you know what I also feel from the in match posts.

He doesn’t look like he’s ever going to pass it to Wirtz when Wirtz is in the better position to score, does he?

100 million Saudi only ..end of season.

Steady on! He’s not in Charlie Adam territory yet.. :joy:

100 million saudi riyad is about £20m. We can surely do better

While I’m glad anfield didn’t boo Salah or anything despite his brain fart interview, it’s a shame Trent Alexander Arnold wasn’t shown the same courtesy last season or even when he played for Madrid against us.

Watching Mo today and at the end and seeing his smile, maybe he has reconciled that he doesn’t have to carry the team and to score and create every time he gets the ball.

Maybe he now realises that there are now other players that can carry that burden and he is happy to release the ball and let them do their magic, which he did do far more.

I hope he finds that happy medium which will benefit the team as well as lifting that weight.

2 sets of completely different circumstances.

Do wonder if maybe yesterday was something of an amicable solution to dampen the fire down a bit and allow Mo to say goodbye.

Slot didn’t sound all that convincing in his BBC interview.

Well he started on the bench and didn’t complain about it, and then had a good game when he came on. I thought that was a good apology without him sitting in a press conference muttering insincere platitudes.

I suspect he probably does leave in one of the next two windows, but it doesn’t leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

Indeed. One threw his team and his manager under the bus by coming out and making a load of headlines all about himself at one of Liverpool’s lowest ebbs over the last 10 years.

The other didn’t sign a contract extension.

We can all put a slant on both situations to back our point of view, but only one of them will be welcomed back.

the other way of looking at it is that one took off for pastures new, whilst the other fought tooth and nail until the end for his Liverpool career…

and who knows, maybe it was the big explosion we had to have, there was a certain freedom to our football these last two games that i havent seen for a while, maybe Mo had to , almost, take himself out, for Slot to be able to move on.

not saying thats what Mo did selflessly, but it might have been a welcome flush to the system we didnt know we needed.

its a story as old as football itself dressing room blowup, followed by honest conversations, followed by a new found appreciation of each other.

One did sign a contract extension and the other plays for Madrid. Not that hard to understand the different receptions

I’m not saying what Trent Alexander Arnold did was right or wrong. Personally I didn’t have too much of a problem though because he’d given us years of service, had never kicked off and was integral to to our success. But yes he wanted to try something else so fair play to him. He won’t be classed as an all time legend at the club but he didn’t deserve to be booed after everything.

Fans are very quick to criticise and insult our players on here and also v quick to say to dump someone because they don’t deem them good enough. Just look at the Slot thread to see the shit he’s been getting from many here and he led us to only our 2nd title in 35 years.

So should a statue be put up of Trent? No.
Should he be booed and given shit? No

As for Salah he shouldn’t be booed either. But there’s no doubting he’s been extremely selfish and his comment that he made about not having to need to fight because of all he’d achieved previously is pretty bloody shoddy as it shows his mentality at the time.

Salah’s past performances earned him his new contract. They don’t earn him a right to start every game forevermore.
