Arne Slot
March 2026

Arne Slot pushed back against Jamie Carragher’s claim that Liverpool now look like a group of individuals, insisting his players still showed collective spirit. He accepted there were wider cohesion problems, but said the team did not give up after conceding late against Tottenham. Carragher had warned that boos at Anfield signalled a serious breakdown between team and supporters after Liverpool slipped further off the pace domestically. Slot replied that, despite repeated setbacks and a toxic atmosphere, his players kept fighting and therefore did not deserve that particular criticism.

Jamie Carragher said Arne Slot now faces a very difficult task to rebuild trust with Liverpool supporters after boos rang out at Anfield following the draw with Tottenham. He described the crowd reaction as a major warning sign during a worsening season. Liverpool’s failure to beat Tottenham left them fifth and deepened concern over their slide from last season’s title success. Carragher said the visible frustration in the stadium, including boos and fans leaving early, showed that the relationship between the manager and the crowd had shifted sharply.

Haaland Wants Late Cherki Goal Given Instead of Szoboszlai Red Card

Erling Haaland
January 2026

Erling Haaland criticised the late VAR decision that disallowed Rayan Cherki’s stoppage-time goal at Anfield and instead sent off Dominik Szoboszlai, arguing officials should have allowed the goal rather than issuing a three-match ban. With Liverpool pushing forward, Cherki released Haaland through on goal. Szoboszlai pulled Haaland back, Haaland then pulled Szoboszlai as the ball trickled in. VAR ruled the goal out for Haaland’s foul and dismissed Szoboszlai for denying a clear chance earlier in the move. Haaland said he felt bad for Szoboszlai and preferred the goal to stand.

December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s extended applause for Liverpool fans after the win over Brighton has been read by body-language expert Darren Stanton as a likely “swan song”, with the analyst suggesting the occasion looked and felt like a farewell even without any official announcement on the forward’s future. Restored to the squad after clear-the-air talks, Salah took a slow lap of Anfield post-match, clapping supporters as banners hailed his achievements. Stanton highlighted apparent tears, micro-expressions of sadness and the timing before AFCON as signs Salah internally recognises he may never again walk out there as a Liverpool player.

December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.
