Liverpool fans have had their say on the ongoing tension between Liverpool FC manager Arne Slot and forward Mo Salah.
Slot will be without his star Egyptian winger for Tuesday night’s Champions League match against Inter Milan at the San Siro at 8pm.
LFC fans at Liverpool John Moores University Sports Centre gave their opinions on who they wanted to stay.
One fan said he would rather keep both, but felt Slot was more likely to stay. He added: “The club can’t allow player power.”
Another fan said: “The club needs to reinstate there is no one above the club.”

The reds’ struggles have been evident this season, currently experiencing their worst run of form since the 1950’s, only months after winning the Premier League title.
Salah has been left out of the matchday squad tonight in response to his post-match interview against Leeds in a 3-3 draw.
Salah expressed his dissatisfaction at being left on the bench.
He told reporters: “It seems like the club is throwing me under the bus.”
He was visibly shocked at his lack of minutes, and said on his relationship with Arne Slot “we don’t have any relationship”.
This has come after Salah signed a new two year contract extension, following his remarkable 24/25 season where he had 29 goals and 18 assists.
Slot has only played Salah once in the last three games, when the Egyptian came off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Sunderland last week.
Both Slot and Salah’s future at Anfield is uncertain, but fans will want a resolution to be found quickly.
In Slot’s pre-match press conference for the Inter Milan game, he said he was not weak in his response to Salah’s comments.
