If Albert Einstein said gravity was mostly fairy farts I'd listen, but it's a meaningless hypothetical until it happens.

That's an odd take.

Last 3 performances and results when he's not started have been better than the previous 3 when he started.
This isn't to argue it's entirely down to dropping Salah, but it's not an argument against it either

But shitty of Salah IMO, but not unexpected, he's a generational talent, up there with Messi and Ronaldo and neither of them went quietly. They both took clubs with them as they declined.
He's a legend, but so's Kenny and I wouldn't play him either. If he's delivering fine, but he's not been.

Not really. The most concerning part is Mo going to the papers. It's a bit shitty.
There's a lot of reasons he doesn't deserve his place, I'm glad Slot's confident enough to drop him, and he's been proven right.
Very disappointed in Mo

The idea had to be to sell him in the summer. Though if he's going to moan about not being picked he needs to be worth the £400k a week when he's on the pitch.

There are a number of reasons why Mo has been poor, age, grief, afcon - I'm not having competency on signing a new contract - but it's not beyond reason he should be dropped, and I'm grateful we have a manager confident enough to do it.

Players not playing shouldn't be happy. Love Salah, but he's f*cking us off for 2 months, his priorities are not our priorities ATM, put #lfc first and we can discuss

The PSV game looked like they were playing for him. It was childish at times, loads of effort but not coherence. Was a bit desperate, but they were definitely running

This is not a blame the ref post; they're mostly sh!te, just a fine margins post.
We're improving, continuing to pretend we're not, because we aren't suddenly world beaters again, is a you thing.

It does sound like we convinced him to stay another year in 2024, so you have to consider that as well

Maybe, but it's down to people, both him and Slot/Hughes, if we'd promised him he could go and the offer met conditions, we let him go, that's the deal, you act like grown ups, we're not #nufc

Salah has been very poor this season and is about to choose country above club, despite the monumental wage or club pay him.
He's a legend, but we'd still be starting Kenny if it was down to legacy.

Iraola is a really good manager and would be a good pick for most teams. But a massive risk of you have a proven manager

It's an idiotic opinion, but I'd expect that from someone who can't debate without resorting to abuse. I have no interest in you.

The idea that replacing the manager (with who?) solves this feels laughable.
We have 4-7 new players, the creativity is moving from RB to midfield and they effectively lost all of preseason plans because of the tragedy. We just suck it up until we come out the other side or turn into man u.

You have to think past the immediate.
Diaz wanted a long term deal, we decided he had 2-3 years left in the PL, he wanted 5. And he literally said he wanted to go.
You can complain we didn't replace him but settling him was the right thing in the circumstances.

You, thinking Klopp would come in if we sack Slot. Did you listen to a word Klopp said whilst here?
Utterly clueless.
