Liverpool fans criticize Mohamed Salah after missed pass to Florian Wirtz
Liverpool supporters unleashed a wave of criticism against Mohamed Salah after a moment in the recent Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Salah, starting the game on the bench for the second time in a row, was brought on as a substitute in the 74th minute. Despite Liverpool’s commanding 5-1 win, fans were angered when Salah chose to shoot rather than pass the ball to Florian Wirtz, who has yet to score his maiden goal for the club since his high-profile summer transfer.
Social media buzzed with comments labeling Salah as “selfish” for his decision, with many claiming the team spirit was harmed. One fan commented that Wirtz desperately needed a confidence boost, and Salah missed an opportunity by not passing. Others urged for Salah’s removal from the starting lineup in upcoming matches, pointing out recent examples of similar behavior and questioning his decision-making.
Salah, once lauded for being Liverpool’s star with 34 goals last season, has struggled in the current campaign. He’s scored only three times in twelve matches, and frustrations are mounting as the club seeks to reverse a string of defeats. The incident even led Salah to change his profile photo on social media, further fueling speculation about his mindset and future with Liverpool.
