There’s been plenty of fallout from Liverpool’s 2-2 draw away to Everton, while a big claim about Mohamed Salah‘s future has emerged.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Salah was vital at Goodison Park on Wednesday, scoring and assisting to get the most-ever away goal involvements (22) in a Premier League season, in mid-February!
Speaking to The i Paper, a senior advisor to the Saudi Pro League said that the 32-year-old is looking likely to remain at Liverpool, in a big boost for the Reds.
“There is a feeling we are being used in contract negotiations this time,” they said.
“We want him, that is no secret. But we are getting less indication from the player that he is even considering moving here.
“Liverpool are flying this season and he is scoring goals like he was five years ago again.”
This is music to the ears of Reds supporters, with Salah as important as he has ever been.

Henry Jackson and Abigail Rudkin have dissected last night’s action, with Oliver rightly taking a battering:
“Michael Oliver was abysmal. That’s one of the worst officiating performances I’ve seen for a long while, and he’s meant to be one of the good ones!
“Their free-kick that led to their goal was never a foul, and Salah was thrown around the whole game and nothing was ever given.
“The ref was poor for both sides as well, not just Liverpool. He completely lost the game, and by the end of it, I think he had his own head loss.
“Giving Slot a red because of something said during a handshake at full-time is embarrassing.”

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 2023, Fabinho made his 200th appearance for Liverpool, coming in a 2-0 win at home to Everton in the Premier League.
Salah and Cody Gakpo got the goals for the Reds.
Fabinho would leave later that year, having drifted past his prime, but what a fantastic servant he was in the No. 6 role.
Speaking of the Brazilian, he also scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory at Burnley on this day in 2022.
