Taxi for Slot

[JockStrap]

OK so you can't debunk the rumours. Fair enough, I didn't think you could, unless you were working for the club on the inside and had proper evidence.

I think 99% of fans wanted Mo to get the contract after last season. The up roar (yes I used it) was in relation to your claime that the club would have sold him in the summer if they wanted. I just don't think they would have done that after his performance last year.

Looking at it as of today, I think the club realise they messed up recruitment in the summer. They know we need a cb and a LW. Salah is playing crap and have decided to cash in on him to get the other positions. Again, nothing more than an opinion on my side.

If this turns out to be true then it will be a shame in how they have treated Salah after all he has done.

Which is exactly what I expected your opinion to be. Why else would you post rumours from the Internet on this unless they aligned with your beliefs? You should have just said that up front and dropped the facade that both things can be true. They really can't. Either Salah wants to stay or Salah wants to leave.

It's probably much easier for you to think that "The Club" want rid of Salah, than to believe that Salah himself wants out. That way you get to be angry at a bunch of people you never see.

There is no way the club are regretting their signings at this point.

And if the fact that we kept Salah and gave him a bumper contract isn't enough evidence that we don't actually want to sell him, then I'm not sure what else you'd accept.

I know you are forming your opinion from my posts. But it isn't easier for me to believe the club want him. Its my opinion based on what I see unfolding. Maybe I'm being duped by Salah, maybe I'm being duped by the "rumours" but right now that's how I see it based on what I'm reading. And I did say this is where I currently stand. I'm not hiding that. I also said, salah was wrong for running to the media.

But right now, we don't really know so I'm still open to the option of salah orchestrsting it all. Opinions change as evidence is revealed. Maybe, I should wait until all is revealed but I thought the point of a forum is to discuss things.

I could say, its easy for you to believe that salah wants out and is trying to blame the club because you are aligned with the club and are on the pay roll and want to make salah look like the bad guy. I have absolutely no proof other than your posts and how you seem to always see no wrong doing on their side.

Also, I didn't say they were regretting their signings, I said they messed up. Tonarody that, I meant they messed up by not getting a cb and a proper replacement for Diaz.

Fair enough. Ignoring rumours for second and focusing on what is actually happening, what I see is Salah running to the media to criticise Slot. It looks like an attempt to garner sympathy from the fans so that when he leaves in January we all think he had a plausible excuse. Players and their agents are very PR savvy.

If the club were actually looking rid of Salah though, I'd expect them to be leaking to the media. Not giving him a massive a contract a few months ago.

Could I be interpreting that wrong? Yes, absolutely. And we'll probably never know. But I'm not basing my opinion on rumours. Maybe Arne and Mo will have a hug and it all ends well.

There you go, I think we are of similar approach to the situation, we just happen to fall on different sides of it. The thing is, we will never know the truth.

Its funny how people see things differently when looking at the same things. But that's life.

Im off to work soon so will be dropping off. Just incase you think I'm ignoring you.

On the media leak, there was a massive hit piece from Paul Joyce yeaterday. Could that be the club planting seeds? A journalist with links to the club putting out a piece like that.

Yes for sure. The club are responding at a minimum. It doesn't look good now that both side have gone to the press and suggests there is no reconcilliation to be had. At the current rate Mo is likely to be gone in January unless something drastically changes.

It's a funny old game though. If Mo were to play and bag a couple against Inter all would likely be forgiven.

Well he's not going to bag a couple against inter will he, because 1) it's Inter 2) he's not going to be in the squad after his outburst, who knows for sure but I'll be very surprised

Shame he's leaving on a bad note, always will be a legend to me after what he's done here, but people are fickle as fuck, same with Slot winning the league last season, not legend status but let's look at the facts here, 2nd title in how long? yet people are quick to turn against him, even if there's obviously more to it.

Agree on both points. There's clearly more going on behind the scenes than just Mo being in bad form on the pitch. If it was just his form then everyone inside and outside the club would be willing to give him time. Just seems like he and Slot are at odds with each other. If that's the case it's time for Mo to move on.

[Insidious]

420 games as a Liverpool player now, something like that?

That group in the Media area (mixed zone) that assemble after games - how many times has Mo spoken to them?

2018 I think he did it, when he had scored 40 goals.

2019 I think he did it having won the Champion's League that night.

Then was it Southampton we had played where he made the "more out than in" comment about his contract?

Is that his lot, besides the weekend there, about his situation?

Whatever the truth is, it's not a fantastic look if he has turned down the 416 other opportunities for a word when the conversation is Salah-centric every time. That level of, for want of a better phrase, "self importance" is undeniably a part of the chemistry that has made him such a great player for so long, but whatever cause he has or feels he has, his picking of his moments probably doesn't do him a lot of favours.

A shame that this has become so messy after his wonderful contributions to the club. I am all for players losing their legs on someone else's pitch, but you don't want to see things pan out anything like this!

Taxi for Salah.

That cunt Slot should be gone 2 months ago

All the issues are through his ill advised change of system

[Nineteenx]

My issue here is it’s clear what Slot wants to change to, and that way of playing was dead in the Premier League after 19-20 Guardiola himself gave it up

It’s not a case of give it time, it won’t ever be successful, every other team that plays it now players a very strong pressing and counter pressing game, has very pacey actual wingers and plays the ball direct whenever it’s on including from the keeper

What Slot has convinced idiots will work on paper just never will

Obviously he's made a few mistakes this season but "cunt"? Howay lad. Get a grip, absolutely no need for that.

[fiordearg]

Liverpool have had 22 full time managers and 10 have won the title. 22 managers in 133 years means the club give managers time not to mind one who has won the league

He's a noone cunt himself, deflection tactics I wouldn't worry about it

Imagine calling someone who won us another title in his first season, people forget how long we had to wait for the most recent one before last season, Klopps team blabla whatever we still stormed the league, entitled brats and gave us happy memories

Clowns, same with the people hating on salah

Go support man utd, or another scummy team with scummy fans, not liverpool

You seriously think it's all down to just slot? noone else behind the scenes or players?

We're going through a tough time, But I really hope the fans at the games aren't like you, and support whoever is playing and the manager for now

but you're never happy about something 19x even when we're winning so it's expected from you when we're going through a tough period- not even happy or thankful about last season and how we've had great sucess in recent years down to players like Salah......

Let's go back to the days with Lambert up front ey, and the rest.... spoilt brats.

Bet Slot wouldn't lose 6 out of 7 finals btw

I'm not pro-slot or anything, but for now...... we either back players and manager or what's the point? big changes was always on the cards with players going, and getting older sadly, Slots the fall guy.... takes time with so many changes, and aging players that have underperformed and think they're entilted to start because of history and don't need to fight for there places anymore..... and no i'm not anti-salah either but that wasn't acceptable, but neither is so called fans slagging a club legend off.

We don't support wolves ffs, get a grip.

[JockStrap]

He’s just a modern day glory hunter. At the first sign of trouble they want to sack the manager who won the league last season. Shithouses.

And they have the cheek to call Chelsea and City fans plastic.
