After a tumultuous period, Liverpool found a moment of calm by defeating Inter 1-0 in the Champions League. Supporters have shifted their allegiance from backing Mohamed Salah to rallying behind manager Arne Slot, who is facing challenges leading the team currently ranked 10th in the Premier League.

This match could mark Salah’s farewell to the club as he prepares for the Africa Cup of Nations starting December 15. Slot remained noncommittal regarding Salah’s participation against Brighton, stating: “Salah in our out against Brighton? I will speak to Mo in the next few hours, and this conversation will determine all next steps.”
Salah’s public expression of discontent regarding club management raises questions about his future, despite the lack of immediate transfer interests. Liverpool is also contemplating life post-Salah, with ongoing European competitions posing a significant challenge.
Recent performances have showcased talents like Ekitike and Isak, who could be pivotal in Liverpool’s quest to regain top form. With Salah having scored 29 goals last season, the team now faces a conundrum in adjusting to his potential absence, particularly with biological clock ticking against his performance metrics.
Liverpool’s focus must now pivot to solidifying their squad ahead of crucial upcoming matches in both the domestic league and Champions League.
