Salah Situation

[justme]

You can bench anyone - but he humiliated him. Even Gerrard has said it’s way strange he didn’t get a simple minute v Leeds.

Thats not Slot - that’s the club. that’s pathetic and what Seedorf said what he did to a squirming Arne

Doubt anyone was humiliated, this is just show. and Seedorf doesn't know whats going on in the dressing room. do you?

Victor, try thinking before typing. There's a good lad.

I think Seedorf is fully aware - as are all top players (Carthorse Carragher not included) - fully aware that NO manager in the predicament we were in....refuses to even field his top player when you need a goal after the worst run of results in 70 SEVENTY years!

Don't you have to see a man about a flag?

[Steveo]

I get it - many are minions and political parties of all kinds depend on this ..you just fall in line. Salah was bang out of order...He must be punished... The end.. No attempt to examine the details of the events that led up to the outburst. Just.. he was benched - that's it..

Naah.... that's not just it.


Yes, once again... he spoke out of turn and poorly and what he said sounded decidedly egotistical.. NOBODY is arguing that fact.

But he did so in a moment of raw anger.

It's understandable that you can't imagine being a star player like Mo...but IF none of you are capable of putting yourselves in his shoes as a human being - to understand just how humiliated HE felt at that time..A player who has carried the responsibility to score and score and score... Then that's your own lack of compassion.


But none of it.. none of it hides the reality of what I have said about Arne, his weakness, and why plenty of star players have come out to say they understand Salah - not agreeing with his words - but understand his angst at that moment - and many do not understand WHY he wasn't given a single minute.

And it plays into Salah's comments about "someone at the club." For me it's clear...he is talking about those directing the football. As was Seedorf on the touchline.. because a Seedorf KNOWS how a club works.. Far better even than Steveo or justme and certainly far more than a Jokestrap

Although i strongly believe its all happening above slot and salah could be gone.
Would have thought the 4 3 1 2 with salah playing as one of the two with eritikie.
Salah seems to playing very wide and tries to get past 2 or 3 players isnt working.

[JockStrap]

You forgot to mention yourself. Players know how a club works far more than you. And Salah has been criticised by almost every ex-player for going to the press.

Everyone involved could act like grown ups and sit down and have a proper conversation about it. But that looks beyond most modern day footballers. Spoilt since they were kids and multi-millionaires before they were legally allowed to drive. It's natural that they throw the toys out of the pram when they don't get what they want. Don't defend that behaviour.

When was he coming on at Leeds?

We scored withing minutes of conceding the equaliser. Would you have brought him on in a game we were winning and looking to see it out? And Leeds scored with virtually the last kick of the game.

He got a 45 minute run-out against Sunderland and was terrible again.

To a man, we all wanted him dropped. He wasn't just out of form, he was stinking the place out. But I agree he's been 'thrown under the bus' in terms of him being singled out, he would be well within his right to point out Konate, Mac and Isak have been stinking the place out as well.

But whatever his grievances are, he cant be airing it in the press.

[Steveo]

He was dropped for 3 games - all fine… He has to come on v Leeds probably at 2:0… but ok… likely at 2:1 but still ok… - by 2:2 it’s obvious we are going to need a goal. and by 2:3 it’s arguably too late.

He has to come on. And I am shocked you don’t see it Jozza

[Steveo]

As for us all wanting him dropped - we did and he was. BTW who is managing the team..?. The fans 🤔

He absolutely was defo in line for being dropped along with others who were not BTW.
