And there’s a lot to suggest that Oscar’s drop off wouldn’t have been as severe if he didn’t feel like the team wasn’t backing him

OMG OSCAR AROUND THE OUTSIDE ON COLD HARD TIRED

Unused sub in 2/3 is pretty wild even for a struggling Salah

I think they probably should have said it to Mo too. He doesn’t deserve being unceremoniously cast off

Sorry. I get the players and coaches being in panic mode. If they’re not getting any sort of measured feedback from Hughes and Edwards or the FSG folks etc that to me is a massive failure. Salah is one of the best players in the club’s history. The hierarchy should be involved in what happens next

The players and even technical staff acting that way is fine and understandable. It not being tempered by the front office and ownership would be a failure imo

No I think if there were a push they would have done a lot more PR about it. Letting it simmer beneath the surface suggests that it hasn’t been well thought out

Dropped and being frozen out are distinct and if this were a plan to say “thanks for everything but we’re moving on” the vibes would be significantly different than they are

And that doesn’t excuse his treatment

Feels like it’d almost have to be

Wait it’s not

One of the best to ever pull on the shirt. Scapegoating him when even Van Dijk has had a poor season is insane. He deserves a huge send off whenever he does depart and if it’s done in this manner then I think Slot has to go as well unfortunately
