Why Liverpool fans should be concerned about Mo Salah’s recent social media update

Mo Salah’s subtle shift on X has ignited discussions within Liverpool circles, following the Egyptian’s lackluster performance in Frankfurt.

Salah updates X profile during Liverpool’s form slump

The 33-year-old has changed his header image and profile picture on X, previously known as Twitter, removing his Liverpool-themed banner and replacing his main photo with one of his two children.

By itself, this isn’t major news. However, when combined with recent signs of frustration both on and off the pitch, it seems to convey a message.

After being benched for a second consecutive Champions League match, marking the first time in his Anfield career, the forward appeared visibly frustrated during our 5–1 victory in Germany.

He was observed walking directly down the tunnel at full time, a moment initially reported by Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele.

Salah still recorded three shots and an xG of 0.42 in his brief appearance (SofaScore), but his choice to shoot instead of passing to Florian Wirtz for what would have been the German’s first Liverpool goal highlighted the growing tension.

This incident reflects a trend that has developed over the past few weeks, with a hint of individualism emerging in a player who has always been characterized by relentless effort and focus.

Liverpool needs Salah to return to his peak performance

We all recognize that Salah has dedicated himself to the club. His goals, records, and leadership have been instrumental in shaping our modern era. Yet, even the greatest players experience periods of frustration.

Three goals and three assists in twelve matches is not poor by any means, but the high standards he has established mean that every missed opportunity and every gesture is now scrutinized.

His recent performances have led figures like Jamie Carragher to suggest that the Egyptian’s position as a guaranteed starter may be in jeopardy.

Arne Slot’s task now is to assist our No.11 in regaining the balance between confidence and teamwork, particularly as we aim to rebuild momentum after breaking a four-game losing streak.

The fans within the Frankfurt Stadion demonstrated their allegiance by singing his name at the top of their lungs – a testament to the fact that Anfield will consistently support its heroes, regardless of whether those online do the same.

As Salah’s X update keeps the rumors alive, the most important aspect is the action on the field.

We require him to be completely involved, entirely focused, and prepared to perform at his best once more – beginning with Brentford this weekend.
