There are two distinct sides to the argument. Has he done enough to speak out as a true Liverpool legend? Or is boss Slot justified in doing whatever it takes to attempt to win games? Fan opinion appears divided: “As a Manchester United supporter. If memory serves, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. Not the way to treat a legend of the club.” “Perhaps we should pause to feel sorry for Mo Salah? He's probably forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... Someone hard done by, Mo, you are not.” The big question for the Egyptian king, then? Many think his relationship with the club may now be damaged. Will he seek a loan to a club abroad? Might he take the pay day and head for Saudi Arabia following the Africa Cup of Nations? Matches Abandoned A pair of second-tier matches were abandoned on Saturday.
