Why Mohamed Salah’s recent social media activity could be cause for concern among Liverpool fans
Mohamed Salah’s subtle activity on X has stirred discussion among Liverpool supporters following his quiet display in Frankfurt.
Salah updates X profile amid form concerns
The 33-year-old forward has updated both his header and profile photos on X (formerly Twitter), removing the Liverpool-themed banner and replacing his main image with a picture of his two children.
On the surface, it’s a minor change — but when viewed alongside his recent frustrations, both on and off the pitch, it feels symbolic.
For the first time in his Liverpool career, Salah was benched for two straight Champions League matches, and his irritation was clear during the Reds’ 5–1 victory in Germany. At full time, he walked directly down the tunnel, a moment highlighted by Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele.
Despite registering three shots and an xG of 0.42 (via SofaScore), one moment stood out: his choice to shoot rather than pass to Florian Wirtz, denying the German a potential first Liverpool goal — a reflection of the growing tension.
That instance summed up a recent pattern — a slight drift toward individualism from a player once defined by unselfish drive and unwavering focus.
Liverpool need Salah firing again
No one doubts what Salah has given to Liverpool. His goals, records, and consistency have defined the club’s modern success. Yet even icons face rough patches.
Three goals and three assists in twelve games isn’t disastrous, but by his standards, every missed chance now carries weight.
Recent performances have even led Jamie Carragher to question whether Salah’s status as an automatic starter is fading.
For Arne Slot, the task is clear: help Liverpool’s No.11 rediscover his spark and sync with the team as they aim to rebuild momentum after halting a four-match losing run.
Liverpool’s travelling fans made their feelings known in Frankfurt, chanting his name loudly — a show of loyalty that may not always be reflected online.
As speculation continues over Salah’s X profile change, what truly matters is his response on the pitch. The Reds need him focused, motivated, and firing again — starting with Brentford this weekend.
