When does Mo leave?

[JockStrap]

The poll is completely unbiased. It's a question.

I didn't think Salah and Slot would mend fences and Salah would be gone in January. After Slot's latest comments it looks like their relationship is getting better. If that's the case it would be great to see Salah back and firing. But he needs to play better than he has all season.

I wonder if a top defender, think VvD level, was available this window would we sell Salah to fund the purchase?

You could say the same for Virgil, Macca, Bradley, Konate, Gakpo, Gravenberch, Jones...and others.

All of whom were playing at levels far far above what we've witnessed towards the back end of last season and this. It's been poor for more than a year! Yet the happy clapper wants to deny reality like he denied the boos.

Mo's drop in form - though no more pronounced than his peers - simply highlighted because we were so utterly dependent upon his numbers for goals and assists last season.

IMO this poll on Mo tells us everything about the agenda at play here. You are not supporting the team at all - but rather the custodians. The money.. Everyone and everything is fair game EXCEPT the owners and the people they have decided to run the operation. SO - when top players, virtually all - simultaneously - in unison - fall off a cliff... and the results go south... You want to have a pop at match going fans for being glory hunters, blame individuals who have been warming the bench all season and club legends who are struggling to cope with the new systems in place.

Give it up. there aren't many in here who don't see your game. It's clear and obvious.

You might be reading too much into " When does Mo leave?".

I actually agree with you that plenty of other players are not performing well. It's not just Mo. But he ran to the press saying that people at the club wanted him out. That puts him straight in the firiing line. The only question now is when is he moved on. Surely you can see that.

The best case for us is that he stays and plays well for the rest of the season and helps us secure top 4. But there's still a chance that he's gone downhill too far and never rediscovers his best form. What do you do in that case?

[Steveo]

So, you are suggesting that by him exposing the lack of harmony from the new setup
(in your spun narrative "ran to the press" ) - it's fine and natural that he become surplus to requirements.. For giving insight in to what almost certainly IS the reason behind WHY so many players were losing form AT THE SAME TIME.

The only tangible reasoning behind your assumption that "The only question now is when is he moved on" is that you are in total alignment and in support of the very hierarchy that HE Mo Salah accused of throwing him "under the bus. "

[JockStrap]

You can't have a discussion in good faith. Fine. There's no point trying.

Mo did run to the press. Denying that makes you look like an even bigger fool, which I didn't think was possible.

For the adults in the room, Mo Salah will leave LFC at some future date. This poll asks the question of when that will be.

[Steveo]

Funny... because I didn't see him "running" anywhere? Is it a bit like the booing.. Are you making things up again? Denying what did happen and inventing what did not.. Or perhaps re hashing the words of a certain Jamie Carragher...? We know Mo spoke to the press but your language gives you away so often - seriously.. I know you seem to like hanging around kids - but this place isn't a kindergarten.

Have you got a clip of this "run"? One of your gifs? per chance?

[JockStrap]

Ssssh now. This thread is for adults only.

Mo’s loved by the other players, a lot of them really don’t like Wirtz that’s really clear, they don’t like or see the value in not doing what won them the league and curbing and inhibiting their own game to make Wirtz look good and neither do any of the fans that know the game

[JockStrap]

Wirtz is the first player most of them look for when they get the ball. Even top footballers recognise his class. You will too one day, don't worry.

As for Mo I'll be a bit surprised if he starts the Marseille game given all the minutes at afcon. All depends how he feels I suppose.

[JockStrap]

Salah straight back in to face Marseille. Things looking up. Just need Mo to perform now.

a bit surprised a saudi team hasn't tried a cheeky bid

[ianlfc]

Good to see Mo back in the starting line up. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

[Steveo]

If he doesn’t score a hat trick he will be deemed washed up,

[JockStrap]

He wasn't really in the game very much. Had one or two nice touches. That ball to Slobo being one and then the big chance to score. Think he was knackered by that point.

Good to see him back and he always looks a threat. Just hope he can link up with Ekitike and Wirtz. Every time those 2 get the ball their first instinct is to look for the other one.

[Nineteenx]

It needs to be link up with Wirtz or Szobo or Macca and Ekitike

We need that rotation if the 10’s trying to play it all through Wirtz doesn’t work all the other mids were better then him tonight he was far less involved but good when he was except nit finishing his massive chance and we were better for it
