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

For sure. People don’t know what they have til it’s gone sometimes. Level of disrespect to Salah is galling at times. It would be just like him to shove it down a few peoples throats and come back firing. This bust up could be just what he needs. Life’s like that sometimes. It takes a spark sometimes to ignite something within.

Relative to his ability he’s been disrespected a lot during his time here more than any other player of comparable quality, just the way it’s been..

I should have expanded on my earlier post. For the record i wasnt writing him off. im just not sure we can actually win the league again no matter who the manager is.

Best of luck to him regardless.

He was bang out of order today.

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.

I don't know if I'd share your belief about his ability to further reinvent himself to hit the heights again, but otherwise that's a really well-expressed post.

There is a monumental difference though between working under a Sporting Director and alongside one. I would say Guardiola, Arteta, Klopp, Emery, Ange, Ten Hag, Howe etc work alongside DoF their DoF's.

For me that is changing with Slot. Rodgers and Klopp had the final say on transfers. The new structure changes that for me. That is the massive difference.

I think it could be a problem if the two of them don’t work together. If the coach doesn’t rate too many of the players brought in then that could lead to a problem. The coach knows what tactics and style he wants but if the Sporting Director tries to impose a different style then the coach will lose interest.

Its mad. Nunez, Diaz, Jota, Gakpo. Hardly screams a Premier League winning attack, does it?

Which clubs in the Premier League and Europe employ Head Coaches instead of Managers?

Manchester City
Arsenal
arguably Liverpool 2016-2022
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Atletico Madrid
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Bayer Leverkusen
Paris Saint-Germain
Ajax
Porto
Benfica
...

It's actually hard to find a club that doesn't!

Ref Watch on Monday should be funny as fuck as that worm Gallagher tries to explain this one. He'll tie himself in knots defending his mate.

Has the incident even been mentioned in the UK press? I expect it'll never even make it to Dermot's desk.

It's all the same thing mate. You don' t know if it's changing or not.

Slot will get a say, Michael Edwards hasn't gone full Dictator... just yet.

All hail Chairman Edwards!

Right, most goals and assists of the front players but they are all equal. I wish we had 5 Mo Salah’s, even this version.

If he goes we are left, in my opinion, with a very average attack. City or Arsenal dont take anyone of them bar maybe Jota, who is injured a lot.

For sure. People don’t know what they have til it’s gone sometimes. Level of disrespect to Salah is galling at times.
