January Window

[CCTV]

For the simpletons:

The reason Salah's outburst inadvertently helps Arne Slot is because it acts as an immense media diversion… by escalating a simple benching complaint into an unprecedented public crisis, Salah instantly shifted the entire narrative away from the core problem of Slot's failing on-pitch tactics and poor results, which were previously the main story predicting his "impending doom."

Now, every major headline and talking head is consumed by the far juicier drama of the star player's massive ego, his potential disciplinary action, and his threatened transfer to Saudi Arabia, temporarily removing the intense, results-based pressure from Slot and placing the club's authority and hierarchy under the media microscope instead.


Come on sheeple

Results of actions are not the same as intentions for same actions.

Considering your inital theory was he directed his ire at someone other than the manager...

Do you think Salahs shocking outburst is a full endorsement of everyone at LFC

[JockStrap]

Konate is playing like he's permantely concussed. If it weren't for that we'd be comfortably in the top 4 already.

I'll be surprised if we make any signings in Jan. We'll probably bring a CB or two in during the summer transfer window.

Maybe post my initial theory again - should involve much less time than your usual trawling... you know: so we can see what you mean...

[JockStrap]

But I would absolutely agree that it has taken some of the spotlight away from Slot. Instead of talking about taking 5 points from 15, from 5 very, very winnable games and a complete capitulation against Leeds we're now going to be talking about Salah's outburst.

Though it wont take long for the spotlight on Arne to intensify should we not drastically improve in both performance and results.

I think you're mxing two things here and coming to the wrong conclusion. Salah's outburst intensifies the pressure on Slot. He was already under pressure due to results. Now Salah's comments add fuel to the fire. Not only does Slot have to explain the results he needs to discuss Salah's position at the club. It's not one or the other. It's both.

Salah hasn't done this to highlight Slot's tactically deficiencies, or Edwards/Hughes transfers or the Owners running of the club. He's done it because he's been dropped and he thinks he should be playing. It's pretty simple.

This is correct.

Who do you think the conversation will be about in the studios across Europe tomorrow evening? Slot or Mo?

If the results don't pick up, people will forget about Mo's outburst and return their ire to Slot.

[JockStrap]

You can’t seriously believe that Mo’s comments take pressure off Slot.

[eggy81]

Nah. Pile more pressure on the whole situation. Maybe it’ll galvanise us for tomorrow night. Be great to get the unexpected win now.

[Nineteenx]

Well maybe miss out on who we need as FSG have not acted to remove Slot and let a bad situation get worse and make us a less attractive proposition

[Steveo]

Players will be watching - we really do need to start winning games now or we will lose any of the lustre Jurgen brought back to the club.

That’s what FSG don’t understand that their lack of action could mean players are back to moving elsewhere

It’s amazing the things that you know that the multi-billionaires don’t.

[Steveo]

Those crafty "multi-billionaires"... they're so clever aren't they...

Clearly not as clever as you two. In your own heads anyway.

If only 19x was the manager we'd win the league

Shall we start a campaign ?

only 19x can save us now.

probably could do better as our new set piece coach though??? can't be any worse.

Please, stop. You'll give him ideas.
