Yesterday's Headlines Mohamed Salah grabbed the headlines even though he was absent in Liverpool's thrilling six-goal thriller at Leeds United. He launched an astonishing critique on manager the Dutch coach, claiming him of tossing him “to the wolves” following being left out the starting lineup for the third consecutive match. He expressed feeling made a scapegoat for the team's poor beginning to the season. “It's unbelievable … I am sat on the bench for 90 minutes,” the Egyptian stated. “This is the third match on the bench, I think for the first time in my career. I’m very, very disappointed.” Another major Premier League story was Arsenal's injury-time loss at Villa Park, sealed by Emi BuendĂa's winning goal.

Opinion is split into two distinct sides to the debate. On one hand, has Salah done enough to speak out as a bona fide Liverpool legend? On the other, is boss Slot right in doing what he believes is necessary to attempt to win games? Views from supporters appears split: “As a Manchester United supporter. If memory serves, Salah was the players' player of the year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Can we take a moment to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He must have forgotten that he is presently Liverpool's highest ever earning player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Speculation suggests his bridges at Liverpool may now be damaged. Will he seek a loan to another European club? Or will he accept a lucrative offer and move to the Saudi Pro League following the AFCON? Matches Abandoned A pair of Championship fixtures were abandoned on Saturday. The match between Charlton and Pompey at The Valley was halted in the 12th minute after a fan was taken unwell. It was later announced the supporter passed away in hospital. Blackburn's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also paused and abandoned due to a waterlogged playing surface at Ewood Park. Torrential rain – for the second time this season at the ground – made the pitch unsuitable. At this time, there is no confirmation on when either game will be replayed.
