Red Room: Has Salah Played His Last Game for Liverpool? January Exit Logic Unpacked

Red Room: Has Salah Played His Last Game for Liverpool? January Exit Logic Unpacked

This cut tackles the toughest question yet: has Mo Salah already reached the end of his Liverpool career? The panel evaluates whether he will apologise or whether Slot and the club are prepared to move him on as early as January. They explore the consequences of a refusal to back down, how the club might frame a sale, the financial and tactical motivations behind it, and whether the fallout has accelerated both Salah’s exit and Slot’s survival. The discussion also touches on dressing-room dynamics, long-term planning with Wirtz, Isak and Ekitiké, and whether Liverpool can realistically build a new era without their long-standing talisman.

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back with a new episode of Scouser Tommies on Anfield Index, to discuss a week when nothing happened at Liverpool FC.

Red Room: Salah Fallout Explodes - Leadership, Ego, and the Inter Win Overshadowed

The panel dives into the escalating Mo Salah saga and how his public comments have overshadowed Liverpool’s gritty Champions League win at the San Siro. The group debates where responsibility lies in the breakdown between Salah and Slot, examines the role of ego, leadership expectations, and whether the forward’s frustration stems from deeper issues behind the scenes. With comparisons to past player-manager conflicts and reflections on collective standards, the cut captures the tension between individual ambition and the team-first ethos Liverpool has been built upon.

Could Ange Postecoglou Be the Next Liverpool Manager?

I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. I even wrote an article stating how Roberto De Zerbi could become a viable candidate, especially if the Reds' current season continued on a downward spiral. If his good start at Brighton maintains a...

The Cult of Personality at Anfield: Examining the Role of Passion in the Club’s Success

For years, Liverpool Football Club has been one of the world's most successful and popular clubs. Anfield, the team's home stadium, is as iconic as the team itself. But what sets Anfield apart from other clubs is the atmosphere created by the passionate supporters who fill the stadium on match days. This passionate atmosphere has...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Everton PL Man of The Match

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Man of The Match   Darwin Nunez   From the opening whistle, you could see his powerful running was going to cause all sorts of issues. With a position that saw him start as the left sided forward, it gave him room to exploit a slightly laboured Everton rear-guard, especially in transition.   The...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Everton PL Player Ratings

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker – 7.0 The reds player of the season, and so important to Liverpool in all games. Had a quiet opening period, as the reds looked to take the play to their neighbours. Was strong under pressure as the reds doubled their lead. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0 Thrown...

Spearman Promotion: A Positive Start, Nothing More

In typical Liverpool style, we should have been aware that any mention of contract-related activity means it’s pretty much done. When Jonathan Northcroft’s exceptional article in The Sunday Times revealed that the club were on the verge of appointing Ian Graham’s replacement, it was greeted as a positive by the majority of Reds. Liverpool...

Why Mason Mount Might Not Suit Our Regeneration

With Chelsea spending their way towards FFP peril, it will now be only a matter of time before a huge exodus unfolds. Before the Stamford Bridge club are forced into a series of profitable sales, there will probably be one or two players that will want to depart an ever changing dressing room. As...

Which Central Midfielders Are Currently Being Linked With a Move To Anfield? 

Liverpool finally got their first Premier League win of the new year with a 2-0 victory over Everton at Anfield in the Merseyside Derby. Goals from Mohamed Salah and a first Liverpool goal for new signing Cody Gakpo were enough to secure a huge three points for Jürgen Klopp’s side, but the result will...

From Pre-EPL Era to Today: The Top 5 Liverpool Kits Ever

Over the years, Liverpool players have worn several outstanding uniforms when running out on the Anfield pitch. Over the past 30 years, they have worn some of the best and most distinctive styles of any Premier League team thanks to the major brands that produced them, including Umbro, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, and Nike. Well,...

Four Forwards To Move Forward

In a season that’s aged us all,  it really doesn’t take too much at the moment. The recent pictures showing the recent to training of Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Virgil Van Dijk and even the lesser spotted Arthur Melo gave everyone a welcome and much needed boost. The Derby may well come too early...

Should Liverpool Incorporate a 4-4-2 System in The Derby?

We seem to have become the club with no answers, after spending so long as the opposition that no one had an answer for. Our combative nature was replaced with recycled possession, as teams became unwilling to engage a team that terrified them. At some point along our wave of destruction, everyone got wind...

Tony Evans: Monday’s Merseyside Derby is a Watershed Moment for Liverpool

Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison. The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982....

Mason Mount: Ideal Summer Midfield Addition for Liverpool?

We are hopefully about to witness a significant rebuild of a Liverpool midfield that has needed major tweaks for some time now. In hindsight, last summer simply had to see at least one big signing made in that area, but a mixture of FSG's unwillingness to spend and Jurgen Klopp's loyalty prevented it from happening. Things...

Keita Departure: Minimum Three For The Summer

It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that saw it and truth be told, it’s probably what most Reds had suspected would happen anyway. When a contract renewal didn’t materialise for Naby Keita this summer, it appeared inevitable that a summer exit would be in the offing for the Guinean. Florian Plettenberg’s tweet this week...

Liverpool v Everton – The PL Preview

 With Sean Dyche making an immediate impact as the new Goodson Park boss, it should make the Merseyside Derby a real occasion this coming Monday. Liverpool appear in free-fall, and with Klopp and Dyche having a past of confrontations (on the side-lines), this should add spice to a glorious night under the Anfield lights.   Everton’s...

Could Federico Chiesa Be the Salah Replacement?

Though I’m utterly reluctant to see our Egyptian King depart, it would be ignorant not to start looking at those rare bodies that could potentially replace our record breaking scorer. With Liverpool destined to miss out on Champions League football next season, it may well be that a celebrated wide forward will push for...

Could Liverpool Sell the Egyptian King?

A few reports surfaced in the latter part of last week, linking Mohamed Salah with a move away from Anfield. PSG have been mentioned as a potential destination, with a fee of around £80m being mentioned. As this season becomes destined to remain a disappointment, it could mean a huge summer overhaul of the...

Can The Manchester City News Galvanise the Reds?

On late Monday morning, Manchester City were charged with multiple breaches of the Premier Leagues financial rules, that could go back a number of years, to when they were first purchased. I am sure one of my Anfield Index colleagues will delve deeper into what comes next, with a Mo Chatra podcast almost certainly...

Fabinho: Likely The Final Chapter At Anfield

It’s been a difficult season for Fabinho and it shows little signs of changing anytime soon. His exclusion from the squad for Wolves was confirmed as down to illness by Jurgen Klopp and truth be told, there were few if any Reds concerned by his absence. It was practically impossible to make an argument...

Wolves 3 – 0 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem

And just like that, the Reds hit rock bottom, probably. This sort of result merely adds to the ongoing list of horrors that have engulfed Liverpool FC, so far this season. With Champions League qualification now an unlikely quest for this season, the remainder of our campaign surely becomes about damage limitation. With another dreadful...

FSG Ownership Rumours: Pick Your Poison

With on the field activities reaching a new low against Wolves, reds everywhere were seeking any lift they could get. Step forward Alex Miller and his article in the Mail on Sunday around FSG and potential ownership changes. The key headline around a potential cash injection from an old name in Red Bird Capital...

What’s On The Cards in 2023 for Liverpool FC

The 2022-23 season has not been a great time for Liverpool Football Club. In addition to losing one of their best players in Sadio Mane during the summer, the club has also had to contend with poor league performances that see them sitting at 10th in the table as of the time of writing. That...

Lessons Learned: Wolves

It’s all getting a bit too familiar now isn’t it? Liverpool again shipped three goals away from home in the league to continue a dismal 2023 so far. There was an element of hope going into this one having beaten Wolves at Molinuex in the FA Cup replay, but that proved to be short-lived....

Liverpool Starting Lineup if Jürgen Klopp Has Inked His Top Targets

The activity of the club management in the January transfer window disappointed Liverpool fans. They aren’t used to such a drought of signings ever since Jürgen Klopp became manager. The only senior player that was recruited in January was Cody Gakpo, which seems to be too little given the way “Reds“ underperformed in the...

Wolves 3 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Wolves 3 - 0 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 6.0 It’s always a relief when this man is in between the sticks, but even his form has dropped off, of late. So horribly let down by his defensive group, with little chance on the first half goals. He seemed unsure for the...

Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC – Not China, Qatar or the USA

It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle. You’re racist if you object to despots. Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation...

FSG Out – The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners 

For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be...

Wolves v Liverpool – The PL Preview

In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game...

Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool

Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful. In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes. There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and...

FSG: Tensions Reach an All-Time High

The January Transfer Window has officially slammed shut. In a painful conclusion, every one of Liverpool’s main rivals completed business before the death whereas it was clear a while ago that no-one would be heading through the doors at the AXA. Anger, frustration and bewilderment will be some of the emotions felt and expressed...

Klopp is taking risks with Bellingham obsession

The transfer window has closed and Liverpool have not addressed their biggest need. The Reds entered this season very obviously short of quality in midfield and with significant question marks hanging over each of the existing midfielders. Thiago Alcantara is an incredible footballer but he is 31, soon to be 32, years of age and...
