Tensions rise between Salah and Slot Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is threatening to damage his own legacy, according to former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. Salah admitted on Saturday that he felt “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and claimed his relationship with head coach Arne Slot has broken down. Rooney argued that Slot must now assert his authority and consider excluding the Egypt international from Liverpool’s upcoming matches. “Arne Slot has to show his authority and pull him in, saying ‘you are not travelling with the team, what you said is not acceptable,’” Rooney said on his latest podcast…

Rift With Slot Worsens Mohamed Salah says Liverpool no longer support him and claims his relationship with Arne Slot has collapsed.

He says he once had strong communication with Slot. Now he says that bond has vanished. He cannot explain the sudden breakdown. He believes someone inside the club wants him sidelined. Salah says he loves Liverpool and always will. He says his children feel the same. He calls…

Fans and Former Stars Share the Same Feelings “Frustrated, angry, that is it,” Ruben Amorim said in his first words after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with West Ham on Thursday. His statement captured the mood of the fans, many of whom booed the team off Old Trafford. Former captain Roy Keane used similar words to describe the current United side. “The word everyone will be using is frustration,” Keane told Sky Sports after another match where United led but conceded late to end with a point. He added, “I wouldn’t trust or believe in this team. There are more goals…

A Night of Harsh Questions for Liverpool’s Defensive LeaderThe spotlight shifted again toward a Liverpool icon who has lost his edge. Mohamed Salah remained out of the starting lineup against Sunderland due to poor form. Yet the real scrutiny fell on Virgil van Dijk, whose struggles defined the 1-1 draw. Ageing Stars Lose Their ShineVan Dijk is 34 and Salah 33. Both signed new two-year deals in the summer. No one questioned those decisions then. Fans even celebrated the loyalty of the veteran pair. Now both fail to reach their former standards. Liverpool look fragile at the back after Arne…

A move full of promiseHarvey Elliott appeared briefly in Aston Villa’s Christmas video and reminded fans he still belongs to the club. The loan player spent more time on the big screen than he has on the pitch in the past two months. He pushed a laundry trolley through the training ground while wearing a festive jumper. His wish likely centres on a sporting turnaround. His deadline-day move from Liverpool carried huge promise, but the situation changed quickly. The transfer becomes permanent once Elliott reaches ten appearances. After five matches, he sits in limbo. His late cameo for Liverpool in…

Frank joined Spurs from Brentford in June and has won only one Premier League home match, the opening fixture against Burnley. Spurs have collected 18 points from 13 games and sit 12th in the table, which has led some fans to criticise the Danish coach. Frank insists he still trusts the club’s hierarchy. He says the owners act intelligently. He says they understand how successful organisations grow. He says every strong club needs time to build. Boos at…

Slot makes a defining call Liverpool moved toward a new era at the London Stadium and earned a 2-0 win at West Ham. Arne Slot left Mohamed Salah on the bench for the first time in a league match since April 2024. Jurgen Klopp made that earlier call. Salah dominated that day with a touchline clash and a terse remark to reporters. Slot’s choice now carried greater meaning and hinted at Liverpool’s direction after a £450m rebuild. Searching for a successor Observers urged Slot to drop Salah after several poor displays. Wayne Rooney voiced that view in recent weeks. Replacing…

Fulham deliver a shock in London. The visitors score twice in the first six minutes and secure their first away win of the season. Kenny Tete opens the scoring with his first goal in almost two years. His shot from the edge of the area takes a deflection and finds the net. Moments later comes the next blow. Guglielmo Vicario rushes out of his box and loses the ball. Harry Wilson reacts quickly and curls the ball into the empty net from 35 yards. Spurs look completely overwhelmed. Samuel Chukwueze later hits the post and keeps the hosts under pressure.After…

Guehi nears freedom of movementMarc Guehi can join a European club in 34 days when his Crystal Palace contract ends on 30 June. He can also agree a pre-contract with a foreign side once the winter window opens on 1 January 2026. Liverpool failed to secure the England defender for £35m in the summer. The long pursuit collapsed when Palace could not sign a replacement, a decision driven by manager Oliver Glasner. Palace lost a major fee with only a year left on his deal, but kept their captain after selling Eberechi Eze to Arsenal a week earlier. Liverpool still…
