One press interview and Salah is a problematic player. Don’t think Slot “gave Salah a chance” in their last match. He only brought Salah in because Gakpo was injured. Their issues are far from over, we will see what happens after the AFCON.
Well let's see how it goes, the whole media and some football fans are all on Mo salah for his statement sighting that it's unprofessional for him to make and say such words but for me it's the truth although the fact that the coach has the right to put in the bench if his performance aren't up to it but for a player like salah who's last season performance was extraordinary, there is definitely something bigger causing the whole tension. Let's see if the trend continues or he has finally made a decision.
Looking at Liverpool current dip in form, what's more important than pointing fingers is finding a way to rebuild consistency, with or without M. Salah in the squad. Arne Slot is fully responsible for all decisions within the team, and I think regardless of M. Salah statements, Liverpool still very much needs his services. If Arne Slot succeeds in making the dressing room atmosphere harmonious again, then in the second half of the season, they might be able to perform according to expectations.
When a player starts getting issue with a team to this point, the most logical thing to do is to allow the player go his separate way with the team while the team finds a way of living and doing well independent of the player. Just like the case of Alexander isak with Newcastle, the mind has gone far away from the club, trying to mend teams doesn't work when it gets to that point. Good thing for mo Salah if he performance well at the AFCON, the conversation will change real good and next year, we might be seeing more of a conversation that's tending towards his favour and discrediting him based on age factor or so.
