24+ min ago (1352+ words) Mohamed Salah waves to Liverpool fans at Elland Road before launching a public attack on head coach Arne Slot and the club. Mohamed Salah's incendiary interview attacking Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and the club after he was left out of the draw at Leeds United contained one memorable soundbite that stuck out above many others. It was the 33-year-old's claim he had been "thrown under the bus" after a glittering Liverpool career encompassing all major prizes and 250 goals that put him third on their all-time list of scorers. Salah's outburst came after he was left on the bench for a third successive Premier League game as Slot tried to end a sequence of nine defeats in 12 games. The Egyptian did not disguise his belief he had been made a scapegoat, provoking divisive debate when Slot and Liverpool needed unity…...

28+ min ago (387+ words) Eddie Nketiah has had to bide his time since joining Crystal Palace in August 2024, starting only 14 matches in all competitions. Now, though, he has the chance to earn an extended run in the side - albeit in an unfamiliar role as Ismaila Sarr's deputy. Sarr, who has missed the past few games through injury, is set to join Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations next week and could be absent for up to a month, depending on their progress. He and Yeremy Pino usually operate as the two 'number 10s' in Palace's 3-4-2-1 system - an area where squad depth is notably thin. Daichi Kamada has also featured there, but the Japan international " still without a Premier League goal " offers little attacking threat. That is an issue for a side already heavily reliant on Jean-Philippe Mateta's firepower. Getafe loanee Christantus Uche is another…...

The Premier League champions sit 10th in the table, 10 points behind leaders Arsenal, having won just five of their past 16 games across all competitions. The past few days have been dominated by talk of Salah's future, after last season's PFA Player of the Year claimed following last Saturday's 3-3 draw with Leeds United that he had been 'thrown under the bus' by the club, which saw him left out of the squad for Tuesday's Champions League win at Inter Milan. But while Salah's next move is currently top of the news agenda, one of his Liverpool team-mates is also in a…...

He might be [a great player], but there's a reason that Thomas Tuchel won't pick him." Gullit hit back: "That's a ridiculous suggestion. He is the best player they have. He just wants to win." Napoli meanwhile, are 23rd in the table, and play Copenhagen in 24th next time out. Antonio Conte's Champions League record pales into insignificance compared to his domestic titles. "I know how much we have spent both physically and mentally," he said of his side's weekend victory against Juventus, in justification for the 2-0 defeat to Benfica in Lisbon. As for Juventus, their timely 2-0 win against Pafos came courtesy of Weston McKennie's goal and a strike from Canada's Jonathan David. McKennie's brilliant effort was the…...

A farewell ceremony is even being discussed for Mohamed Salah. Ahead of AFCON 2025, will Mohamed Salah play his final match for Liverpool at Anfield against Brighton next Saturday? Frustrated with his role as a substitute in the last three Premier League fixtures, the Egyptian international spoke out last Saturday and was subsequently left out against Inter Milan (1-0) in the Champions League. With his departure for AFCON 2025 looming, uncertainty surrounds the Egyptian star's future with the Reds as the winter transfer window approaches. Amid this uncertainty, Liverpool has no plans to organize a farewell ceremony for the former Roma…...

1+ hour ago (1096+ words) There is a mysterious, unnamed entity involved in the Mohamed Salah saga. A saga that is threatening to turn into the most uncivil of civil wars at Liverpool. "It seems like the club is throwing me under the bus, that's how I feel. I think it's very clear that someone wants me to get all the blame." Salah refers a couple of times to "someone." Whether he himself knows who this is, we don't know, but given the sporting structure and hierarchy at Liverpool, there are more people it could be, more people making decisions at the club that affect players than just Arne Slot. The mysterious entity in this scenario could be the sporting direction team, consisting currently of Richard Hughes at club level and above him at FSG level, Michael Edwards, who must take some of the blame…...

The performance reopened old wounds and questions about the team's mentality, something Schlotterbeck alluded to when he said players were playing "a bit of their own game" and lacked the ability to kill the game. "Killing the game is a matter of quality. If you don't kill the game and then it comes to a throw-in that you don't clear, making it 2-2, then that's not good enough," Schlotterbeck said. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl and coach Niko Kovac also had harsh words for the team, but Schlotterbeck's criticism has added weight amid questions over his future at the club....

While speculation swirls about his future, a new chapter is further fueling the tension. According to Bild, Salah is now "furious" with Florian Wirtz.
