Mo Salah 2025/26 Season

I don't make things personal, unless somebody comes after me personally first, Rubens... But I do pay attention, and I say what I see.

You call for objectivity, but your posts show that you don't have any (calling Mo a superstar before he got to LFC - that's nonsense, mate). When Mo - or any of the players - behaves like this, I call them out - did it with TAA, too. And Hendo, when he left - because they deserve it. Mo is a very calculated man, who doesn't do anything that doesn't push his narrative... He's never been about the club. It's always just been a vessel for him to attain the level of global fame that he now enjoys.

It's always been about him, and you're kidding yourself if you think he would have reached these heights at anywhere other than Anfield and a handful of other clubs. He performances have always shown a greed and lack of team ethic that has bothered me. And before you say "all legendary strikers are greedy", yes, they are, but when the goals dry up and you're STILL greedy, then you're hurting the club by not changing your style or attitude. Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that all the former players that you're trotting out to back up your hero are also ego-centric strikers, who were also greedy AF when they played.

He's been shite all season long. That's the bottom line. And he deserved to be dropped. What's telling me is how, when defending Mo, so many crucify Gakpo for his abysmal performance this year, and ask why he hasn't been benched... Well, two things: You're right - He has been a liability for the vast majority of the year and does deserve a lengthy spell on the bench. And, he has the same number of goals as Mo Salah.

What does that tell us?
In my view I have shown objectivity, you have chosen to ignore it. You constantly badge people who disgree with you with various names. Tell me? Where did I make it personally about you before your proceeding post? Happy to understand your view but show me where I made it about you?
I honestly saw the length of your post and stop reading at that point.
 
Well, Mo is not playing so that's a positive I guess? If we still don't win we will have to think of who to turn on next.

It's not a positive. We want him available and eager to play, especially given our need, not taking Thot shots at the gym.

But it's ok, he doesn't need to prove anything. He's Mo Salah.
 
So Mo is apparently "wrong" and we can't try to dissect what has happened or put ourselves in the shoes of someone who has contributed massively to our success in the last 10 years.

And you guys are blaming Mo for lashing out? With support like this? Ironic.
The clubs burning and he decided to pour petrol on

What's he's done is irredeemable, and reasons why are irrelevant

There's no valid reason

You can do that if you want. I just don't think this is Macbeth. I don't think there's a lot of interesting psychodrama going on here.

He's a superstar who can't run as fast anymore. That's mostly what is going on.

I'm not surprised in the least that this has happened. It is exactly what I expected would happen and why I didn't want to keep him.

Yeah he is Mo Salah, he has to be perfect. If he dares to not toe the line even after scoring a gazilion goals he is into the dog house permanently. No one wants him in the team.

Let's move on and see what this squad without Mo Salah is made of.

People had this attitude before Gerrard went, and then we went on our greatest period of success this century.

Players leave. based on his performances this year, mentally salahs already left.
 
We can actually go beyond the Indy conspiracy theory and Mo is a good guy in all this.

H&E knew they messed up recruiting Slot in Feb when we started losing games. They arranged the Mo contract and it’s written in the contract that as soon as he’s dropped when results don’t go LFC way then he has to act the prick pushing the club to sell him. Let’s face it after 1 week of sitting on the bench it’s too much for anyone to loan about.

This way, LFC gets a transfer fee, Mo gets a few weeks on £400,000 a week, Slot is booted out.

You forgot the part where Jamie Carrager is aware of all this and gradually ramps up the pressure in cahoots with Mo and Hughes and Edwards.

Not toeing the line? That's an odd way of describing what he's done. And by odd I mean an entirely inaccurate description that is deliberately disingenuous.

In general I don't have preference for any players. I think they are all egoistic idiots who simply earns too much and can't wait to get more. But what I tend to do is to show some appreciation and give certain players a wee bit of time if they had contributed to the joy and and success of the team. That's just the right thing to do, at least from my perspective.

If we are going to be doing well without Mo Salah, I wouldn't even have to mention him again. But the reality is we are not and we need all our assets firing, so I hope Mo can be back to his form last year by some miracle.

But if it is really the point of no return I don't really have alot more to say about Mo, especially if the team starts to do well.

Big if though.

Rubens, I genuinely don't know what you're talking about... I don't think that I have personally insulted you. Nor was I speaking about you and / or your posts specifically, when I said, 'the usual suspects'. I was speaking of some of the posters here, for whom Salah can usually do no wrong (and, in fairness, most of them have condemned this outburst since then).

If you're referring to my use of that phrase, that's just not some horrible dig, mate... It's just an everyday phrase. But, if I'm having a senior moment, and just don't remember insulting you personally, I apologize. Genuinely.

Also, for anybody who feel that I'm a mod, just because the word is under my profile pic, well, the good news is that I haven't mod-ed in feckin' donkey's years (back when I cared more), tried to ask some forum superstars to be a little nicer, got put severely into my place and never tried again... It's not like I carry any sway in this place, for goodness sake, lads.
 
Ok, time for me to be a cunt.

Two years ago, after his "there will be fire" bullshit I said that the end of Salah here would be sad like Ozil at Arsenal, because:

1) if he was comfortable going after someone with Klopps clout, the new guy would have no chance.
2) he isn't going to accept a late-aguero like role where his minutes are managed

I'm not clairvoyant, and I'm not stupid enough to think that the club isn't aware of this. I think they thought they'd get half a season or a season out of him then get some money back. The reason that hasn't happened is the rubbish form of the team in general, and the rubbish form of Salah specifically.
 
Not toeing the line? That's an odd way of describing what he's done. And by odd I mean an entirely inaccurate description that is deliberately disingenuous.
So we are back to where we started with the other poster as well.

If I don't condemn Mo Salah, what I said don't matter.

As you were then.
 
Mo's form might be shit but so is everyone, so I don't see how getting rid of him solves much. Isak looks a shadow, Gakpo one dimensional, our MF can't put a challenge in and our defenders can't make basic headers. Wirtz has done fek all. Even our impressive injury record has gone to shit.

Mo's form has zero upside in the medium or long term. We have to figure out how to make a new attack work, and he won't be part of that anyway. Plus we don't have to deal with all of this.
 
You didn't even attempt to contemplate what I was saying so what's the point? I can write a thousand reasons and if I don't condemn Mo it does not matter.

As you were then. Just try not to call posters with a different opinion names if you never tried fo understand our point of view.

I bet you couldn't write a thousand reasons why Mo isn't wrong...

Anyway, of course having empathy and compassion is a good thing.

However I have to admit I don't have much for a footballer who is upset he had to sit on the bench for a week.

And being good last year and not now shouldn't be saving you from such a fate.

He also subsequently said since Klopp left, he talks to Klopp more over the phone than he did previously.
People do make mistakes, can't really compare Mo to Ozil in my view. Ozil was on large amount of money without winning anything, well Mo when he what has done. If we had got rid him two Years ago, I don't think we would have gone won the league last year with Diaz and Nunez alone.

You argued with me back then and said you couldn't see it ending like this.

You are right that they aren't in exactly the same situation, but that wasn't my point.

Things often end badly. That's why they end. We need stop this whole thing and soon, so I think we know what will happen, which is what both parties now want, but without all this unseemly stuff. The problem is money is involved.
