How exactly did Slot make it into a clash of 2 egos?

The senior players. The depth isn’t available defence as much as in attack and as defenders their primary job is to defend anyway. It’s not rocket science and lots of people are embarrassing themselves with the obtuse takes on this

Salah and drawing 2 is important in the context of the losing streak before it. That would be the honest conversation to have but too many people have decided they want the manager gone & are using this excuse to support their argument. Salah has been woeful this season (as have VVD & Ibou). They’re

No one is scapegoating Salah. The overreaction by him and his acolytes is truly pathetic to witness. He sat on the bench for 2.5 games. And context matters. Talking point totals without context (we could have got more last season if necessary) is the honest way to frame the convo. Winning 2 without

Repeating the same thing in capital letters doesn’t suddenly make it true. It just means you’re wrong but in Caps now 🤷🏾‍♂️ The truth is that Liverpool have played better since Salah was dropped and have stopped the losing streak. Unfortunately we couldn’t carry a passenger in defence any longer 🤷🏾‍♂️

You do whatever makes you happy. From when you’re implying that Slot didn’t make a difference (by pointing to similar points total but ignoring the team stopping competing after winning the title) then that shows the type of dishonest conversation we’re in. Believe what you want

Replacing him with our player of the season (Szoboslai) has incidentally meant we’ve stopped losing games and (bar VVD & Konate’s moments of madness) have been more solid. But hey blame Arne Slot 👍🏾

We were losing games because of defensive errors and because he was leaving his fullback exposed, hence why opposition has targeted that side for their attacks as Cucurella explained after the assist for Chelsea’s winner

Yeah feel free to believe that 👍🏾

Yeah we’ll have to disagree. I’m guessing you think Slot got lucky last season and won with Klopp’s team and has now been found out? Or some variation of that?

I mean they have. Just because you don’t like the manager doesn’t make it not true

Yeah this person is being a bit silly. No one said this is how you play forever. That’s silly all or nothing thinking. You have to first steady the ship and build confidence again and that’s what we’re doing:m. We’ve played better since he was out and against Sunderland he didn’t do any favours

And so it makes sense to drop the forward who is failing to defend. The one who thinks he’s entitled to start despite stinking up the gaff and being horrendous in front of goal all season. His rant was all about him & he’s speaking & thinking for himself only. There’s no dressing room revolt

Yeah I don’t buy it. Liverpool haven’t been playing well for many reasons including grief affecting concentration (probably) as well as teams adapting and effectively playing with a right winger not defending and that has been identified as a weakness. In those circs you have to tighten up first

Or the alternative is that having lost Jota & Trent, the way we attack has fundamentally changed & the team has been caught between playing through Salah & trying to play through Wirtz, & Salah has been unhappy at not being the focal point. Now the team has moved from catering to him we’re improving

Thank you for bringing some sanity to this discourse as always. The club is more important than any one player irrespective of who that is. It’s also evident that he was speaking for himself despite the best attempts of some to claim he’s speaking for others. It’s disappointing, childish & selfish

I think it’s a fantasy to believe the players support what Salah did. The only logical way you can believe that is if you’ve convinced yourself that Slot is the problem. More and more it looks like an ageing player whose performance is declining has been causing issues as the focal point is changing
