Uncertainty gives way to new wave of love for Salah

If social media is to be believed, Liverpool supporters were either 'Team Slot' or 'Team Salah' as Civil War 'raged' through the club this week following Mohamed Salah's explosive comments in the Leeds United mixed zone last weekend.

But, not for the first time, such utterings are perhaps not a true reflection of the feeling in the Reds' fanbase.

Both manager and player were serenaded throughout as Liverpool extended their unbeaten run to five matches, with the forward playing a decisive role following his return to the side in what will be his last appearance before reporting for the Africa Cup of Nations.

When speaking to reporters at Elland Road, Salah suggested that Saturday's clash with Brighton could be his last for club - citing a breakdown in his relationship with Slot and claiming to have been 'thrown under the bus' by the club.
