The whole Salah thing may have given Slot more time. If he hadn't said anything Slot may have been sacked but there is no way the club was going to let a player be bigger then the club. Lose tomorrow (which I am expecting) and we are in danger of not even getting to playoff round. There are rumours if Real lose to City Wednesday Alonso could be in trouble.
I'd take Alonso off their hands no problem.
 
Quite possible......would be a sad exit but all players move on,even the legends.
It would be a shame if he went out this way. I don't know what's got into him, but it just shows how even fame, money and success can't protect you from a fragile ego.
Tbh, I didn't think he conducted himself very well over the last contract negotiations either.
Ho hum - we all move on.

It’s really poor, I said at the start I’d back him as he was suggesting he’d simply been frozen out, no explanation, and suddenly they have no relationship. That appears to be bullshit.

He’s let us all down here tbh, no Gakpo or Chiesa tomorrow and we could really do with Salah being available, which he rightly can’t be.

He held the cards with all this bollox last season as he was breaking records and we’re top of the table, right now he is playing like a lump of ****, we’re dropping points every game and he decides to put this on the club.
 
So do we think we'll get to see a proper diamond tonight?

Yes that's the point.

Klopp came in when we were doubters and turned us into believers. Slot came in when we were believers and has taken us full circle i.e. back to the beginning, back to doubters.

No.

That's not a 'i don't agree ', it's a 'not going to happen'

Apart from Szoboszlai and Etitike, pretty much all of them are playing like lumps of turd. Regardless of the outburst from Salah, the team have been pretty crap all season, and a lot of that falls on Slot due to his tactics/ substitutions and trying to put square pegs in round holes

I don't disagree with any of that
 
Tactical arguments aside, there was always going to be a scenario eventually where Salah would have to be rotated because, while he may want to play every game, there has been a noticeable drop off in the back end of recent seasons which I why i could understand the owners' stance on a new contract.

The other thing is that, as the star player, Salah kind of has to just suck it up regarding any criticism. Pre-outburst He should perhaps have got a bit more leeway from us fans and LFC pundits but he'll get no such luck everywhere else anyway, same as Wirtz or Isak.

It's just not an excuse. Like it or not Slot is the manager and the decision to play him or not is his call. If he loses his job by it then you can leave him to lose his job by it without making things worse.
