Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

What you can say about it is that it's a sign of his character, in that he hates being left out, not being the main man etc. That's part of what's made him such a legend and such a winner. His and Mane's little 'rivalry' summed up what made both of them so good and we wouldn't have had the same success without that little edge
He was the one player that was always so open and fearless about setting targets- he never shied away from targeting title wins in those first couple of seasons, and openly talked about wanting the quadruple in 21/22 when everyone else was talking about taking it one game at a time.The man is a winner and he is probably hurting as much as anyone at how bad weve been lately, at how bad he himself has been and how weve crashed out of contention for the major trophies.
That's not to excuse him. He shouldn't have lashed out as he did. But that firey personality and selfishness is the price you pay for a player of his desire, quality and winning mentality.
The overall feeling was just one of sadness, really. Klopp is clearly the number 1 man at the club and the biggest reason for our success but Mo Salah has probably been next on the list. To see them at eachother under the shitty circumstances we have found ourselves in is gutting. Pure conjecture now but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Mo feels Klopp leaving has been an unnecessary distraction, Klopp probably feels a bit let down by the performances of a key man...they might've worked great together but they don't have to love eachother. It felt like a lot of personal frustration was there for Mo today the way that he seemed to get more and more agitated as he continued the argument.
Anyway, hopefully it's all sorted now. What happened today shouldn't affect what we decide Salah's future should be, but somebody does need to have a word and I hope he apologised to the boss. It's his performances that remain the biggest concern. I still have belief that he's good enough to reinvent himself, it's pretty high up the list of questions for Slot to answer when he comes in though. Or more likely Edwards, perhaps.
Very well said 👏👏
