“I can’t believe … I’m sitting on the bench for 90 minutes,” the Egypt international said. “The third time on the bench, I think for the first time in my career. I’m very, very disappointed. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season. Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why.
“It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.” He refused to specify who that person was.
“I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship,” Salah said after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Elland Road on Saturday. “I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.
“This club, I always support it. My kids will always support it. I love the club so much I will always do. I called my mum yesterday – you guys [journalists] didn’t know if I would start or not, but I knew. Yesterday I said [to my mum]: ‘Come to the Brighton game. I don’t know if I am going to play or not but I am going to enjoy it.’ In my head, I’m going to enjoy that game because I don’t know what is going to happen now. I will be in Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and go the Africa Cup. I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there.”
Asked directly if he thought that the Brighton fixture at Anfield next Saturday would be his last for Liverpool, he replied: “In football you never know. I don’t accept this situation. I have done so much for this club.”
“I got a lot of promises and so far I am on the bench for three games so I can’t say they have kept the promise,” he said. “It is not acceptable for me. I don’t know why this is happening to me. I don’t get it. I think if this was somewhere else, every club would protect its player. How I see it now is like: ‘You throw Mo under the bus because he is the problem in the team now.’ But I don’t think I am the problem. I have done so much for this club.
“The respect, I want to get. I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. I am not bigger than anyone but I earned my position. It’s football. It is what it is. I am top goalscorer, best player, winning the league in such a style, but I am the one who has to defend himself in front of the media and fans.
“After what I have done for the club it really hurts. You can imagine, really. After going from home to the club and you don’t know if you are starting. I know the club too well, I have been here many years. Tomorrow [the Sky pundit Jamie] Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that’s fine.”
“I have been at this club, scoring more than anyone in this generation, since I came to the Premier League. If I was somewhere else, everybody would go to the media and defend the players. I am the only one in this situation. Can I give an example?
“It’s silly but I am sorry. I remember a while ago, Harry Kane was not scoring for 10 games, and everyone in the media was like: ‘Oh, Harry will score for sure.’ When it comes to Mo everyone is like: ‘He needs to be on the bench.’”
Did he regret signing the new contract? “Imagine how bad I feel that I have to answer it, honestly,” he said. “That hurts, even the question hurts. This club, signing for this club, I will never regret it. I thought I’m going to renew here and end my career here, but this is not according to the plan, so I’m not regretting signing for the club for sure.
“Somehow it will end but the thing in my head is like: ‘Why it should end this way?’ Because I am too fit, just five months ago I was just winning every individual award so why should it go this direction?”

I can’t blame him. He simply doesn’t deserve this treatment because he isn’t to blame. A bit repetitive, a bit emotional, a bit too much”see what I did for this club” but right nevertheless.
He won’t beat the club though. If Messi couldn’t cow Barcelona he won’t beat Liverpool.
Sad. Hope he has a great Africa tournament.

Salah kicking off if it all went wrong was always going to be a big player.
ME ME ME, did he mention how much he has done for the club.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch
Arne Slot says Ibrahima Konate has been "a bit too much at the crime scene" this season.

There'll be a disaster movie made about the goings on at that club over the summer. If they gave control of the club to an Evertonian it wouldn't be worse.

That's an absolute shocker of a quote.
That's an absolute shocker of a quote.
I think he's talking about respect there rather than his place in the team. English is not his first language.
The statement is agenda driven tho, it was the same last year. There are people at the club who likely didn't want to give him an extension. Slot is prob one of them and maybe another. He wouldn't be talking about potentially leaving if there wasn't someone willing to pay the 400kpw he's on, which there normally isn't for that money at his age. Likely the Saudis.

Maybe he goes on strike to force a move after afcon.
Is that what he is on? Wow! It a very comforting compensation for his disappointment isn’t it. It can’t be football that is the issue I feel, has to be much more to this.
He ran his prev contract down before that too and was on 350k basic last season. Estimated to make close to 1m a week when image rights and bonuses are included. He's an african, muslim and arab. Generates huge revenues and the image rights are just a cut of what pool make from that.
At £1million a week I doubt he is going anywhere near a bus.
slots /clubs mistake was giving,begging Salah to sign a new contract whatever the stats say salah was on a dramatic decline last season in comparison to his earlier seasons,but hard to say when they cantered to LG but it was there for all to see,lived of a cyrler at b,mouth that you see half a dozen times every weekend for 6 months with a few Johnny on the spot goals thrown in, scousers will probably do a TAA and turn on another of their GOATS 
to be fair to Salah, carra did ask him to face up and speak out about current situation at l,pool
Sunday supplement 1st words SALAH WAS BRILLIANT LAST SEASON
NO HE WASNT
NO HE WASNT
again to be fair to SLOTT,
that quote about konate that he,s been at
TO MANY CRIME SCENES ,will go down ahead of some of cloughies greatest quotes
must be close to best quote I've ever heard

it was that good I couldn't quote it correctly 
imagine how all those stuck up their own Arris journo,s feel this morning when Salah has gone to a Norwegian journo to try and blow l,pool apart,they must be fuming
Not a great quote from Slot. He is the man in charge of securing the crime scenes.
loony journo on SS just said klopp can justify dropping Salah because their unbeaten in 3 games , 5 pts off 2 of the bottom 4 and promoted Sunderland, think 100% of l,pool fans would call that an embarrassing return,SLOTT probably thought/banked on getting 9 pts from these 3 games so took the chance to drop Salah and its backfired enough for Salah to try and use the situation to oust slott
Partly in regard to comments on other threads for context..
His legs certainly haven't gone, he was in fantastic shape for the first 5-6 months of last season to get the contract or other offer..
he doesn't like not being 'the guy' which when you bring in two 100m plus players you simply aren't and he's desperate to win an AFCON so doesn't want to run himself into the ground for 'the team' when he's never had to previously..contract extension was always a gammble at that age for numerous reasons (as said at the time) , he may well have thought (misguidedly) he'd have significant other clubs interested as well in Europe..with the domestic title won again, his main interest is likely Egypt..

interesting to see if he does plays before he joins the egypt squad because he might have played his last game in the prem lge
could see him going in january of they don't sort it pre afcon and dec is going to be dominated by the where's mo off to media frenzy which will not be what the lpool team needs right now

Lets get one thing straight.....Arne Slot is a total bluffer. He was blessed to be handed a half decent team and won the league last year in one of the worst seasons historically with the 2nd place team having one of the worst points totals in recent EPL history.
Conceded over 40 goals as well which unless I'm mistake is the most conceded by a winning team this century.
Konate has been awful for the whole season and still Slot picks him. He is the only defender to make Antony Gordon look good as a striker.

So still pick him when hes 84 coz he earnt it ..hes been great in the past and pretty damn bad this year..view of a narcissist..they tend not to think like others..think this will seal any lingering doubts about the future
Around the time time of signing his new contract he was not playing well. Since then no. Salah looks like he is using this to go away.
It doesn't matter if he is a total bluffer, this issue isn't about him or the small, miniscule matter of whether Liverpool have a good season or not, it's far more important than that, this is about one player's treachery against a great club that have rewarded him massively for his service, service that his recent actions have displayed has provided Liverpool with success but he's shown that the success of the club is very much only of concern to him if it massages his ego in the process.
He's never recovered from 90 minutes in livramento's pocket at Wembley.
4/6 to sign for any Saudi club in transfer window
4/6 to sign for any Saudi club in transfer window
41 goals conceded, but only 32 by the time they won it with 4 games left. They were partying in Ibiza while there was still 2 games to play.
No I disagree with that duffy, sry. Of course he is concerned with the success of the team which is why he is bitching about sitting on the bench. He wants to be on there playing his part, imv. Otherwise, if he didn’t care, he would be smiley/happy just to take the dosh. It strikes me that he hasn’t been told why he is not picked, and it is the not telling that sickens any player. For whatever reason they want to shift him, is my view.
He should have a heads up with Sir Kenny. He was dropped a few times in his career, by club and country (when perfs. dipped a bit. Not often by ‘pool but ant least three times by Scotland ) and he just rolled his sleeves up, got at it and back into the sides. He would give him good advice imo.

Not shocking at all. Total common sense. Players get to a stage in their careers where they do not need to be running the b*llocks off themselves on some winter training ground to prove themselves and get picked.
Salah has shown what he brings. He single handedly dragged that team to a title last year.
Now of course he is getting older. No one denies that but the question is whetehr he is good enough. Isak &. Gakpo looks utter trash so hard to see why he has been dropped.

Isak in perticular hasn’t fitted in but Wirtz is not Liverpool’s greatest signing either.
I made a perfectly reasonable post, subsequent to yours Duffy of 15.34 and to my utter astonishment the moderator not only commented but didn’t publish it.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Chisea is another odd situation, Slot hardly
treated him fairly either.

On 9 February 2015, Brendan Rodgers said that Sterling had been offered "an incredible deal" to stay at Liverpool, rumoured to be a new contract worth £100,000 a week, but he also stated Liverpool were "certainly not a club that is going to give way, way above what a player is worth at a certain time in their career."However, on 20 March, Rodgers said Sterling's contract situation would not be resolved until the summer at least.
On 1 April, Sterling gave an unsanctioned interview with the BBC, where he confirmed he had turned down a new deal, but denied that this was for reasons of money. He had two years of a £35,000 per week contract remaining and said that he would not negotiate a new contract until the end of the season. Four days later, Brendan Rodgers criticised Sterling's advisors, particularly Aidy Ward, for the interview, saying: "You are not a 20-year-old boy and you pick up the phone and ask to speak to the BBC. You don't do it. Him in particular. But, of course, if he is asked to do that by other parties then that is what he'll do."
On 21 May, amid rumours that Sterling intended to leave the club, his agent, Ward, gave an interview to the London Evening Standard saying: "I don't care about the PR of the club and the club situation... He is definitely not signing. He's not signing for £700, £800, £900 thousand a week."
On 11 June, Liverpool reportedly rejected an initial bid of £30 million from Manchester City. One week later, they reportedly rejected a second bid from City for £40 million, with Liverpool valuing Sterling at £50 million. Sterling reportedly later asked to be left out of Liverpool's preseason tour to Asia, and missed two days of training through illness, which was met with widespread criticism from former Liverpool players, including Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness.

Loads of teams have won titles with plenty of games to spare but didn't end up conceding 40+ goals

Yeah they didn't concede 9 in their spare games either or go abroad on holiday before the last couple of games.
29 goals & 19 assists = Not Good enough LOL
The whole team is playing garbage and you could name at least 5 or more who are far more to blame than Mo.
They removed him and they are even worse ffs
Its an absolute no brainer to sack Slot. Sack hima nd they will 100% get a bounce and may get a CL spot.
Hold on like Utd do and they will start a downward spiral

All of the supporting actors for 29 + 19 are gone and they haven't even tried to replace those players with like (Nunez, Diaz, Trent). Everything they did in the transfer market indicates a change in system with the attack focused on the centre (Isak) and possibly wing-backs (Kerkez, Frimpong). Missed out on Guehi and Leoni got injured so can't play it. Slot even made reference to not having a Jacob Murphy type on the right (to provide Isak assists). Why would you pay top dollar for Isak to play him as a false 9 for Salah?
Decent chance they hoodwinked him into signing just to get a fee from the Saudis, who will pay it. Hence the comments about assurances which have been reneged upon. Edwards likely behind it. Slot was hired as 'head coach' which was a shift from 'manager' and he likely has a lot more input into footballing matters than he did under Klopp who was 'manager'.

I heard the Jacob Murphy thing. Really weird.
Not just because why do we keep getting linked to underwhelming Newcastle winger. But we had Ben Doak on our books. A young, proper winger who goes outside to the byline and swings the ball in.
And we sold him.

world of difference between restec and dropped,Salah has been rested before but its obvious he,s been told by so meone in coaching set up that he hasn't been rested but dropped because they think they,ll be a better team without him in 3 games they thought they,d win in a canter,Salah wou,ldnt have been dropped last week if l,pool were playing city,UTD and arsenal , because if they didn't gety results slott would copped the flack
they will travel today to italy, anyone know if he is in the squad?
Did he actually mention Murphy?!?!?
WTAF!?
Thats nuts. Slot surely wants the sack ffs.
Nunez and Diaz fitted Liverpool much better thank Ekitike and Isak.
The former for any faults worked hard and put a shift in. Salah rightly called out fans this season having a go at Nunez.
The alarm bells were there with Slot. TAA and Diaz wanted out asap

Jacob Murphy is one of the best crossers of a ball since Beckham.
He's also defensively good, and very quick.
Otherwise underwhelming is a fair description

Listening to Liverpool supporters on a 5Live phone-in this morning. As an Everton supporter, it really made me chortle.
Most fans clinging to a Disney-story where Salah realises that Liverpool FC is more important to him than his career and family, apologises to Slot and both propel the team to the glory due to Liverpool because of their history and heritage yadda yadda.
These are the facts: Liverpool can sell a player, they can't sell a manager.
Slot should be preparing to apologise in public to Salah imho.

RQ,
You haven't got a handle on Salah's character at all, so he defended Nunez..... but remember back to the very same Nunez missing a pen against PSG and the rest of the team consoling him but Salah stood apart, clearly angry, most probably because he saw the Ballon D'or slip away.
As for the "show some respect" quote to the fans as they drooled over the new signings in comparison to who was leaving, that would have been primarily driven by jealousy at the realizeation that he may no longer be the centre of the universe rather than loyalty to erstwhile compatriots.

they can't play him, just whether they took him and benched or left at home, maybe they feels he's too disruptive, either way he is tied into a contract so the club have the power now
They have the power but that is mitigated by the sheer disruptive influence that his remaining will have on the club, he's got to go as soon as possible and unlike other European clubs who will now see his value diminished and want to play hard ball, the Saudi's will still pay top dollar and that's where he'll end up in January, it's the only possible scenario that makes any sense.
Not that any Euro club would want him at his age anyhow, but generlly speaking with a tarnished player.
Are Liverpool fans turning on him like they did on Trent? Tsk tsk.
Harry Kane's ears must be burning, along with his scraped elbows and shins after being under that Salah double decker
Long standing fans who understand the value of what it means to support the club may do but some of them might not like to turn on him because the nature of it is hurtful to the club.
Plastics who only care about winning trophies at all costs will likely side with him.

Liv have lost the mantle of champions in a matter of weeks.
That summer transfer splash, when they acted like Real Madrid has come back to bite them on the backside.
Now they appear to be losing their best player.
Hard to see Arne Slot coming back from this. If he dont make the UCL for next season it will be for the best, probably, if he leaves.
A poorly managed situation by all concerned at the club.

Funny thing is if Salah had gone in the Summer, every pundit in the game would've blamed it on his departure.

Following Jamie Carragher's 2018 incident where he spat at a man's car (hitting his 14-year-old daughter) after a football match, fellow former player Joey Barton described the act as
"absolute madness" and stated Carragher should be sacked.

Friends now
Joey Barton strongly defended Jamie Carragher in early 2025 after Carragher's comments about the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), claiming Africa has never produced a better defender than Jamie Carragher,

“It’s silly but I am sorry. I remember a while ago, Harry Kane was not scoring for 10 games, and everyone in the media was like: ‘Oh, Harry will score for sure.’ When it comes to Mo everyone is like: ‘He needs to be on the bench.’”
Literally every pundit and his Dog were sticking the boot into Kane, including 99% of the experts on here!

Jamie Carragher “Have I ever criticised Mo Salah on the pitch?”

can see this ending with both of them leaving and if that happened and the way their playing ,after the spending splurege ,the spotlight then falls on to the owners, my take from slot prezza was Salah has played his last game for l,pool whilst slot is manager
The power to do what?
last time he went public he was almost out of contract and lpool would have lost out on the transfer fee esp if he went to saudi, this time he is tied in so if he wants out they get paid, so they are not time pressured to deal with him and he's either apologising or they get him sold, they need to back the manager and feck him out

For me it is always a failure of management when a player of Salah’s profile goes rogue ( for want of a better expression ) like Salah’s has here. It appears he is now being made the scapegoat for Liverpool and Slot’s ineptitude this season. He’s been a great player for the club has rarely failed it and has been treated disrespectfully imv. Slot is clearly an idiot. At least Klopp had the brains to talk to and with him and resolved their issue, Slot, it seems, has proved incapable of that.
When a player, and a top player, is very publicly dropped he deserves to be spoken to and told why. I don’t think Slot has done that, hence this now blown up into a major issue.
For me is right up there with Rush and Dalglish in the goal and performance return he has delivered. Would either of these two have been vilified in this manner? I don’t think so. Shame on Slot.

Well let us hope that potential bidders for Salah are not aware of the attrition placed on Liverpool's finances by his contract - about £10 for every seat at Anfield, every game.
Don't expect many bids before the conclusion of the African Cup Of Nations. Then it's not too long to the end of season, depending on what Liverpool are playing for. It's not for Liverpool but it could be ideal preparation for the World Cup next summer for Mo.

Salah's fitness levels are legendary. Now, more than ever, Mo has to harness his strength for the big competitions: Africa Cup Of Nations and 2026 World Cup.
The current impasse could help him ensure he competes in top form for his country. Not ideal for the club paying his wages, obviously.
Coming soon...
Protesters picketing the Sports Personality of the Year 2025 ceremony have said they are there to represent the 140,000 people who wanted the BBC to drop footballer Mo Salah from the shortlist.
One of the organisers of a demonstration comprised of traffic accident victims, angered by Salah’s insensitive remarks regarding actual victims of being run over by a bus, accused the corporation of hypocrisy by keeping Salah on the list.

Will be playing for arab contractors in the Egyptian prem sooner than expected.
Maybe later than expected now Liverpool have been forced to reveal its hand.
I did a check on Grok for media articles advocating dropping Kane from the England side after his p1sspoor Euros tournament.
it came up with 2.
Paul Scholes.
And Chris Sutton on the daily mail podcast.
From memory I can recall Daragh MacAntony saying the same thing on Talksport.
As soon as Mo piped up the Mersey walls of jehrico have crashed all over him from the ex Liverpool pundits. And there a fluck of a lot of them.
I did notice that a certain Mr Wayne 'Wazza' Rooney piled in also. I seem to recall in 2010 Wazza holding out on signing a new Man U contract. Threatening to sign for City and having a go at the UTD transfer policy.
The wall of silence from the UK media was quite astonishing.
Rooney as the great white hope of the ever-hopeless England national team was afforded a free pass. Obviously.
Ian Holloway was the only one to raise his head above the parapet when he criticised Rooney in a press conference.
Holloway's Blackpool team had been promised every assistance in their bid to avoid relegation by Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson. The final game was at Old Trafford.
Perhaps remembering Ollie's impertinence SAF brought on Rooney and fellow Ingerlund striker Michael Owen with the score at 2-2.
You can guess the rest...

Carragher is a total bottom feeder. He will never rid himself of the stain of spitting at a child.

100% spot on.
I've said it before most Dutch coaches are bullies. They want total control and are incapable of managing big names.
Even the successful ones like LVG have more than their fair share of run ins with top class players.
Then you have the lower grade ones like Slot or Ten Hag who think replacing Ronaldo with Weghorst or Salah with some other no mark is a sign of strong management.
Slot will end up at Go Ahead Eagles in a few seasons like ETH.
Liverpool have a simple decision.....bin Slot and get a decent manager in who can get them into the CL. A good coach would basically play Salah until they can move him on and keep any discontent to a minimum. Salah btw has been far better than some of the utter muck he has picked this season....Gakpo, Konate, Van Dijk etc.... all stinking it up

I think his was the worst gob ever, for all sorts of reasons, not least off which was the cockers ignorance of the fact that cameras were now 3verywhere, and for someone who worked in the Media that was a pretty fundamental blunder. Visually though, Rikjaard’s “gob” on Rudi Voller takes some beating for visual impact. It was a floaty white job with a measure of weighty phlegm which got tangled in Voller’s newly permed hairdo then gradually, drip by gravity-pulling drip, fell off as Voller walked away. Then he noticed it. What a look!!!
