Salah v Carragher row deepens as Liverpool civil war splits fanbase

Mohamed Salah
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.

Liverpool’s hierarchy have reportedly thrown their full support behind head coach Arne Slot in the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview, making clear that the Dutchman retains final authority on selection and discipline as tension builds over the forward’s benching and comments about being scapegoated. What the board’s stance means for Salah’s future remains unclear, but the message that no player is bigger than the club has been repeated around Anfield, increasing the likelihood Slot keeps sidelining him while executives explore options ahead of the January window.

Wayne Rooney says Mohamed Salah is risking destroying his Liverpool legacy after the forward publicly accused the club of throwing him under the bus, questioned his relationship with Arne Slot and hinted that an upcoming home game against Brighton could be his farewell. On his BBC podcast, Rooney said Slot must show authority by excluding Salah from the squad and telling him to focus on the Africa Cup of Nations, arguing the interview was unacceptable and the forward has handled his form and minutes poorly.

Mohamed Salah is under intense scrutiny after accusing Liverpool of throwing him under the bus in a post match rant, but Egypt coach Hossam Hassan has publicly backed his captain, offering a show of support while debate rages over the forward’s Anfield future. Salah’s third straight league match on the bench and Liverpool’s latest collapsed lead at Leeds framed his comments, which many pundits called embarrassing, yet Hassan’s message aims to steady the situation, reassure the player and cool growing tension around club and country.

Bradley suspension piles more pressure on Slot after 3-3 Leeds collapse

Conor Bradley
December 2025

Liverpool suffered another setback from their chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds as right-back Conor Bradley collected his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-match ban that rules him out of next weekend’s Premier League trip to Brighton and deepens Arne Slot’s defensive problems. Already missing Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool must now reshuffle again, with Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai possible cover at right-back, as Slot fumed about conceding yet another late set-piece goal and warned such errors explain their lowly league position.

Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-Leeds interview, in which he accused Liverpool of “throwing me under the bus” and claimed someone wants him to take all the blame, has drawn fierce backlash as his form dips and his relationship with Arne Slot visibly frays. Unused in the 3-3 draw at Leeds, Salah insisted he had earned his place and was being unfairly targeted, but Chris Sutton branded the comments “embarrassing” and “disrespectful”, arguing that a player in poor form must accept being benched like anyone else.

Mohamed Salah delivered a shocking post-match interview after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Leeds, accusing the club of “throwing me under the bus” and declaring he will say “goodbye” to fans in next weekend’s home match against Brighton, signalling a potential imminent exit. Benched for three straight league games amid a sharp dip from last season’s 29 goals and 18 assists, Salah has been criticised for his silence during Liverpool’s slump. With Slot under pressure and Salah only recently signing a new two-year deal, his public outburst intensifies the crisis.

Konate’s nightmare at Elland Road piles pressure on Liverpool defence

Ibrahima Konate
December 2025

Liverpool twice surrendered the lead in a chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds, with Ibrahima Konate involved in two goals conceded. Hugo Ekitike’s quickfire brace and a late Dominik Szoboszlai strike were not enough to secure three points in a fragile title defence. Konate conceded a penalty by clumsily bringing down Wilfried Gnonto, then backed off Anton Stach for Leeds’ second before ducking under a late corner that Ao Tanaka buried in stoppage time. Arne Slot admitted the centre-back has been “a bit too much at the crime scene” this season.

Guardiola unmoved as Donnarumma racks up bookings amid law-change debate

Gianluigi Donnarumma
December 2025

City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma already has four yellow cards in ten league matches, mostly for dissent and time wasting, placing him on the brink of a suspension and intensifying criticism over perceived tactical “injury” stoppages used to create unofficial timeouts. Guardiola says the 26 year old is “adult enough” to manage his behaviour, while Daniel Farke’s complaints about a stoppage in City’s win over Leeds have fed into IFAB talks on goalkeeper treatment, including proposals to remove an outfield player or block touchline instructions during such breaks.

Premier League set for clampdown on ‘timeout’ keeper injuries

IFAB lawmakers
December 2025

Lawmakers are exploring changes to stop goalkeepers going down for treatment to create de-facto timeouts and tactical huddles, closing a loophole that has grown since outfield players were forced to leave the pitch briefly after physio interventions. Proposals include forcing a nominated outfield player to leave the field for 30 seconds whenever a goalkeeper receives treatment, or banning players from approaching the touchline during such stoppages, with the “outfield player off” option gathering support after Farke’s criticism of Manchester City’s use of the tactic.
