He's not a scapegoat. He's been asked to start on the bench for 3 games whilst they try to bed in the £100s million talent they bought. I don't see his problem, especially being paid £400k pw for it. And he's done this many times before. Mane had to leave the club because of him.

We've seen the same with City over the years and I am glad our players are not as self centered to throw the club under the bus... which is what Salah has done to his club here. All about him and always had been. While the red media tell us he is a footballing God.

I think it’s different. Players know & clubs make sure you know when they want you gone. If he’s on the bench 3 games & Slot has had a word then he’s been a **** but if he’s suddenly not involved in the patterns of play, Slots ignored him when he’s politely asked a question & he’s noticing he’s getting hung out by the club, its media shills & recognised the pattern with ex team mates when they want them gone.

I wonder if him, Alexander see how KDB & many others have been treated when leaving City. Let’s be honest KDBs send off was a shock to him but the club was honest & upfront. The dippers are transactional & likely only offered the contract to gain a Saudi transfer fee.

For me, Phillips, Grealish (To a degree) got the same treatment. And they handled it brilliantly. Partyle the way the club is run and partly down to those personalities involved I think.

I am glad our club steer away from those self centered - all about me players.. The Ronaldo's or Neymars, they bring more shit than they are worth. They can ruin a season.

In that respect we can have nothing but admiration for Kalvin Phillips - he was riding high and in the England team when we bought him, ever since then his career has gone downhill faster than a turbo toboggan, and yet to my knowledge anyway, he's never gone running to the press to slag off Pep and/or the club.

Dipper on radio 5 this morning bemoaning the fact that the players have not been able to mourn properly after having to start the season so soon after a death of a player. According to him they all need proper bereavement counselling and Salah’s grief is causing his loss of form.

Thankfully another caller called the dippers out as delusionally self obsessed…

Jota's death was of course tragic, but the complete absence of any wider lessons being learned is notable.

He was driving a supercar at high speed.

There are many other instances of young footballers crashing in these circumstances - I recall Ronaldo writing off his Ferrari racing in the tunnels under mcr airport. Antonio recently suffered life changing injuries.

Rather than think of this as a one off tragedy, better to think of it as an inevitable result of young men being indulged in high risk activities on public roads. What are their employers, LFC in this instance, doing to protect their employees and the wider public? They're not the victims of a random meteor strike.

So that that they can shoehorn ‘legendary Utd striker’ into the conversation, anything to keep the cunts in the news

Id text them and asked what his status as a player has on his view about a management decision has? I suggested it should be "Failed Manager" Also dragged out Andy Cole to offer his opinion now

Told, asked... Does it matter? And "It appears" Doesnt mean it happened. For all you know Slot could have explained it to him and he just didnt like being benched - Which seems more likely to me given his previous shit.

It DID happen previously when he was talking about Klopp and how there would be fire if he was allowed to speak. Klopp had to defuse that situation. He did it with Mane, Mane had to leave... Last year, the game after winning the title, all Salah wanted to talk about was leaving the club unless they gave him more.... The guy is a problem and they've had to manage him and his attitude, seems clear to me. Its all blown up in their faces though.

Its even more lovely because in Slot I just dont see them achieving anything, the fans hate him so much. I do think this is going to knock back liverpool for a season or two.

Dippers should have bought Ramos. He knew how to put the little shit in his place.
 
Hate to write it, but the most irritating thing about this whole thing is agreeing with Rooney that Salah should never say he earned his place for past efforts.

That notion is disrespectful to every other player in the squad. Suggesting you should be on the team sheet because of your name and reputation is a no-no, whether you believe it or not, or it’s done or not.

Slot can’t have any player believing he picks himself, let alone saying it, especially to the press!

I’d imagine he doesn’t play again before AFCON, is sold in January, and has played his last game for them.

Sadly, both parties will be laughing all the way to the bank as they play the Saudis for mugs. Even more sad is that there’s no reason it can’t be a win-win-win, if the Saudis believe they need a new Ronaldo to spearhead their league!
 
Given his status at the cult, I'd have expected Van Dick to play more of a mediation role between Salah and Slot, particularly in light of the poor performances they've been putting out.

Would be no surprise if snidey fucker VVD is eyeing a player - manager role.

The best is that when we ran away with it, every United fan said the league was poor as proven by us winning every game and scoring so many points ( unlike when they dominated and used to win the league with 75 points).

Now this season the same fans are saying whoever wins this league will be the worst champions in a decade as the everyone is so inconsistent.

They haven’t worked out that by their logic nothing will ever be good enough.

Cant see vvd doing that he would need to drop Salah and himself as both have been shit.

I though he had to lave because he nicked all Mane's PEDS?

**No**, not all Premier League (assuming "premier games" refers to the English Premier League) stadiums have dedicated 360-degree camera systems specifically for VAR.

The standard VAR setup relies on broadcast cameras (typically 8–12 pitch-facing ones per match) for reviews, along with Hawk-Eye calibration of 5 dedicated cameras (main wide, two 18-yard box, and two goalline) for offside decisions. This provides multiple angles but not true 360-degree coverage.

For semi-automated offside technology (SAOT), introduced in the 2024/25 season, all 20 stadiums now have 28–30 specialized computer vision cameras (using iPhone 14+ sensors or equivalents) mounted around the pitch. These track player and ball positions in 3D with up to 10,000 data points, enabling quick offside visuals from various angles—but this isn't a full 360-degree replay system for general VAR incidents like fouls or penalties.

Advanced 360-degree volumetric replay tech (e.g., Intel's True View with 38+ 5K cameras for immersive 3D views) is available only at select stadiums, such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and a few others, mainly for fan and broadcast experiences rather than core VAR use.

This setup ensures consistent VAR access across all grounds but varies in advanced coverage.
