Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is under fire after ignoring Florian Wirtz for an easy tap-in during Liverpool’s 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Egyptian, benched by Arne Slot and subbed on with the game won, chose to shoot from a tight angle instead of squaring to Wirtz, who’s still chasing his first Liverpool goal after a £116m move.

Fans erupted online:

  • “Selfish. That was Wirtz’s goal.”
  • “Did the same vs United. Greedy.”
  • “Drop him for Brentford.”

Wirtz, visibly furious, had already grabbed two assists. Salah, with just 3 goals this season after last year’s 34, stormed off post-match and updated his X profile, fueling talk of tension.

Slot’s Reds bounced back from four straight losses, but Salah’s ego could cost him his spot.
