There are two distinct sides to the debate. On one hand, has Salah done enough to voice his frustration as a bona fide Liverpool legend? Or is boss Arne Slot justified in doing whatever it takes to try to win games? Fan opinion appears split: “As a Manchester United supporter. If I’m not mistaken, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s chief scapegoat. This is no way to treat a legend of the club.” “Perhaps we should pause to feel sorry for Mo Salah? He's probably forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... Someone hard done by, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Many think his relationship with the club may now be damaged. Will he move on loan to another European club? Might he accept a lucrative offer and move to Saudi Arabia after the AFCON? Matches Abandoned Two second-tier fixtures were called off on Saturday. The match between Charlton and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the early stages after a fan was taken unwell. It was later announced the fan passed away in hospital. Blackburn Rovers's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged playing surface at Ewood Park. Heavy rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – made the field unsuitable. At this time, there is no confirmation on when these matches will be rescheduled.
