There are two clear camps to the argument. Has he done enough to speak out as a bona fide club icon? Or is boss Arne Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to try to win games? Fan opinion seems divided: “As a Manchester United supporter. If memory serves, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Perhaps we should pause to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He must have overlooked that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... A victim, Mo, you are not.” What next for the Egyptian king, then? Speculation suggests his relationship with the club may now be burned. Will he seek a loan to another European club? Or will he take the pay day and move to Saudi Arabia after the Africa Cup of Nations? Matches Abandoned A pair of second-tier matches were abandoned yesterday. The match between Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth at The Valley was paused in the 12th minute after a fan was taken ill. It was later announced the fan passed away in hospital. Blackburn's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Ewood Park. Torrential rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – rendered the field unplayable. At this time, there is no confirmation on when these matches will be replayed.
