Liverpool banter 6

16 May 2026 16:57:32
I really struggle to XA go to Chelsea. After the experience he had at RM to effectively double down and go to an absolute basket case club, run by people that have no clue, about football will lead to tears before bedtime.

They are as bad as Madrid for me.

Having said that. With our current setup!!

16 May 2026 17:29:14
The only way I could imagine he would go there is if they promised him there would be no interference from the 10 sporting directors they have. I can't fathom that would be the case though.

16 May 2026 17:42:11
The way I see it... any club is a risk.
Chelsea are no different.

If a young manager, say Alonso, with the ethics that he seems to have, and the background of being coached by the best coaches during his playing days, with a father who was a coach, he has all the tools to make a success of the Chelsea job.



If he gets it right there, he could be the most in demand coach of his time. If it doesn't work out, it's just another coach that the club employed and got rid of.

Really a win win situation for Alonso.

16 May 2026 16:49:33
Slot out, Alonso in.
Get Salah to stay - he’s only 33 and has 3 years left at the top, it’s the style of play that’s killed him this year, he’s still quick, lives healthy, doesn’t drink.
Also keep Robbo and Ali.
Sell Cody/Marma/Frimpong/Isak.
Buy a Jota/Diaz type player, bring back Kelleher as a joint number 1 and a decent right back that can cover left back as well.


Get rid of the slow build up, bring back the pace, the press, the intensity.
Start Rio, give Will Wright some game time.
Leoni will be a star and hopefully next year Stef stays fit and Hugo comes back strong.

16 May 2026 18:10:08
Said this all season. Salah doesn't turn bad overnight. Sign him up for a year contract. Not sure he would with dumb and dumber above Slot still around.

16 May 2026 16:33:14
Mo Salah’s Instagram post underlines how far the club has drifted from the identity that has brought us to the top over the past decade. Every season another player or coach leaves and that identity drifts more and more and the club is being overran by people who seem intent on dragging us as far away from it as possible.

I love Mo Salah, I love Andy Robertson, I love the whole Klopp era and it’s honestly heartbreaking to see the direction the directors of the club seem intent on heading in.

We have so quickly lost the mentality that was our defining characteristic for a decade.

In my opinion it’s not just slot that needs to go, it’s the directors who put their own egos over the needs of the club, and also any players that are happy sitting in mediocrity and taking their easy training sessions and extended holidays. That is not our club, that is not the culture we have built and the sooner anyone with that mentality gets kicked out the door the better.

16 May 2026 17:09:32
Good on you Mo. Agree with every word.

16 May 2026 17:14:29
Salah is more of a captain than Virgil.

He's been banging this drum on his own for a while. Speaking up for us fans whilst some of them players have been blaming us.

I've mentioned for months the disconnect between Club and Supporters, but that post today tells me at least the great Mo Salah still has us Liverpool fans at the front of his heart.



I wish he could stay in place of Slot, Hughes and Edwards. Long Live the King. 👑 🇪🇬

16 May 2026 17:19:58
Thanks, Ekitikeblinders.

16 May 2026 18:02:11
Salahs got b*******.

16 May 2026 21:16:39
A captain doesn't make this kind of statement at this point. A disgruntled foot soldier does tho.

16 May 2026 16:31:09
Looks like Mo Salah has had a good old dig at slot in his statement he's released, must admit I agree with him, the football produced has been shocking but I don't think it's just on the pitch he's referring to. Will be intetesing to see how slot and the hierachy respond. I think the standards all over the club.

16 May 2026 17:10:22
I'm sure Slot would love to drop him from the squad next Sunday, but can you imagine the uproar if he did that.
I keep thinking that's the final nail in the coffin, but the coffin had more nails than a pin cushion now.

16 May 2026 16:28:34
Mo Salah posted on Instagram at about 3:45 today:

> "I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
> Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies.
> That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
> Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
> As I've always said, qualifying to next season's Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen."

Slot made his bed and s*** in it when he said that standards were set on the pitch and not the gym, then went on a poor run of results. Salah is not wrong. I'm glad he has stood up and said what any reasonable person is thinking. Slot needs to be sacked today. This cannot continue.

16 May 2026 17:56:08
Would be nice if a couple more players stood up, it's obviously not all good back there.

16 May 2026 16:24:02
Has anyone read Salah's Twitter post? He’s made it wonderfully clear LFC have become slower, more controlled, less emotionally aggressive with how the system now limits instinctive attacking football hence the “moved away from a “heavy metal attacking team”.

Everyone who joins the club should adapt to it” - I think that includes managers as well.



Man, good for him — he knows he’s leaving and he gives a damn about where they're going.

“The identity needs to be recovered”

So for me this is why slot has to leave cos there’s no way on earth he will move away from his tactics no matter who they get.

Anyway just thought I’d share it.

16 May 2026 16:35:52
Yeh, he's very concerned. Mo Salah loves Liverpool.

I remember, at his absolute peak, when the likes of Gary Neville used to say "he's leaving", but Salah never did, always stayed with our club, his Club.

Mentioning the style of play is the Big Hint here. He sees what we see, Arne, Hughes and Edwards can't.

16 May 2026 16:41:57
Look at all the players who liked the comment.....

16 May 2026 16:44:35
Curtis Jones posting similar now...

16 May 2026 16:45:23
Curtis applauding it in the comments. 😁

16 May 2026 16:46:26
Yeah, he's laid bare what he thinks, and I think most of the fans would agree with him.

16 May 2026 16:51:33
This would actually make me think more that Arne could be leaving.

16 May 2026 16:51:40
Usually, I'm not a fan of this, but he said what has to be said.

Slot, Edwards, Hughes out.

16 May 2026 17:00:07
He has to go, but I'm willing to let him stay, so Florian and Co have to eat humble pie.

16 May 2026 16:36:51
Salah has proven to be everything that Virgil has not out spoken about the way club is heading.
That's why he has been thrown under the bus because he could not stand by and let the standards fall so far so fast.
All the players that are speaking out against this crap seemed to be getting moved on.


The fans need to back the right players because wants they have gone with what is left and the vile rat 🐀 in charge next season will be a relegation battle that these pre-Madonna's will never be up for.

16 May 2026 17:04:42
Maybe we can sign him on a free when Slot goes!

Slot simply cannot stay at this point, I really think we are in danger of undoing a decades worth of rebuilding.

The players can see it, the fans can see it and now I hope the board does before anymore of the rot sets in.



Unfortunately, with him not going today I think he sees out next week, and can see it being a very drab end to an incredibly disappointing season.

16 May 2026 17:08:14
Florian, you'll never be a PL player like Jones. The sooner Slot is gone the better. I'm looking forward to you eating humble pie after all the nonsense you tried to shove down our necks about Slot being the best.

16 May 2026 17:10:21
It is a very heartfelt quote to post. He is not wrong, slow-style football is not what Liverpool are about. What I have watched this season has been a huge turn off for me, it's just not Liverpool. Mo has been great, and I appreciate Arne winning the league, but Mo is right, we need to get back to the heavy metal football and Arne needs to move on now. Liverpool managers need to embrace the city, feel the vibe, and become one with it.

You can't do the Liverpool job part time. You will never get the fan base on side doing that. I always remember what Klopp said, it's not what people think of you when you arrive, it's what they think of you when you leave. Unfortunately for Arne, Hughes and Edward's they won't get that admiration. I hope that FSG are looking at the way the club has faded on the pitch this year and they know what needs to be done to move forward.

16 May 2026 17:11:11
Worry about the club, WD. Not some blokes you don't know from Adam off the internet.

16 May 2026 17:20:42
I wasn't slagging Jones, WD. Browse by my posts, pal, because I don't even think you understand half of what you read.

16 May 2026 17:33:38
I don't like the targeted attacks we're seeing on here, it's a forum and all takes are welcome.
Though, I will say I had some coming at me when I said in November Slot should be out. Might have been premature, but it felt like he was never going to change after the Feb-October performances.

Glad to see the players agree with the fans.

16 May 2026 17:48:07
Kinda shows their mental age DeanW.

16 May 2026 21:20:55
Wanting Slot to stay so we can presumably continue to suck so some randoms on this page can eat humble pie?

Lol that's as bad as wanting the team to lose just to get your way.

Florian, I think it's lizard brain time, and people aren't processing anything that doesn't resemble Slot out.

16 May 2026 16:22:57
Pretty damming statement put out by Salah!

Just seems with him, Robbo and no doubt soon to be Allison & VVD on their way thst the whole ethos of what made the club such a great attraction is being eroded!

16 May 2026 16:36:39
FSG out.

16 May 2026 17:14:08
Don't be daft mate, they have been perfect for us. The game plan is on Slot to prepare and instruct the players, the players need to deliver. Neither have been up to it this season, but don't blame FSG for that.

They have a history of doing the right thing when required, I fully expect them to do the same this summer. I think they know what needs to be done and would also expect a new manager / coach to come in.

16 May 2026 17:21:27
A true statement though.

16 May 2026 16:14:26.
Mo Salah and Andrew Robertson have a winning mentality, understand Liverpool as a City and a Football Club fully!

Unfortunately Arne Slot, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards do not!

16 May 2026 16:25:12
Salah comments do seem aimed towards Slot and the current regime.

16 May 2026 16:31:39
Still unsure what qualifies a former Portsmouth squad player and Brylcreme annual subscriber to be director of football at the 2nd biggest club in Europe. Perhaps it's the fact Bournemouth have massively improved on and off the pitch since he left?

16 May 2026 16:09:02
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.

Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

As I've always said, qualifying to next season's Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

Mo Salah


Clearly problems behind the scenes.

16 May 2026 16:27:37
Fully with Mo here. Feels like the only professional we have at the club right now.

16 May 2026 16:33:05
Well said, Mo... true champion. He's speaking like a disgruntled fan! Hopefully, FSG will take note and listen to a club legend. We all want heavy metal footy... it's in our DNA. Make the change now.

16 May 2026 16:45:10
He's basically calling Slot out. Good. At least somebody at the club is finally showing some balls.

16 May 2026 16:26:34
Go ed salah, at least someone has a bit of balls about them.
