In the crucial Round 7 match of the Premier League that concluded this round, Liverpool suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Chelsea after a last-minute goal, marking their third consecutive loss across all competitions. Meanwhile, Liverpool's forward Mohamed Salah, who delivered an underwhelming performance in this game, has become the target of fans' criticism, with many arguing that he should be removed from the Reds' starting lineup.
A large number of Liverpool fans have called Camel Live, urging the club to take Salah out of the starting lineup.
Francis, a Reds supporter, said: “I don’t want to stir up controversy here. But I think Klopp should drop Salah. If you remember when Klopp won the title, back in the 2019/2020 season, when we were trying to defend the championship, the same thing happened. Then we started losing a lot of games. It’s the same situation. I think history is repeating itself here. Honestly, I think he should drop Salah.”
Another Liverpool fan, Jordan, added: "We might not be better off without him. But I don’t think his performances deserve a starting spot every week. I’m not saying that him playing every week is the reason we’re this bad. Obviously, there’s a formation issue right now. We made a lot of changes again in the game against Chelsea. That seems to be a common theme—we have to take certain players off the pitch.
"It’s almost like a lottery; he just goes to his bench, sees who’s there, and then makes substitutions, and now you’re out on the pitch. But right now, Liverpool has no structure.
“I do think Salah should be dropped because if you’re not putting in a good performance, I don’t care who you are—you shouldn’t be playing.”
Salah played the full 90 minutes in the match against Chelsea. So far this season, the Egyptian forward has also featured in every minute of Liverpool’s Premier League games.
