There are two clear camps to the argument. Has he done enough to voice his frustration as a bona fide Liverpool legend? Or is manager Slot right in doing whatever it takes to try to win games? Fan opinion seems split: “United fan here. If memory serves, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Can we pause to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He must have forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's highest ever earning player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” The big question for the Egyptian king, then? Speculation suggests his bridges at Liverpool may now be burned. Could he move on loan to a club abroad? Might he take the pay day and head for the Saudi Pro League following the Africa Cup of Nations? Sad News from the Championship A pair of Championship matches were abandoned yesterday. The match between Charlton Athletic and Pompey at The Valley was paused in the early stages after a fan was taken unwell. It was later announced the fan died in hospital.
