Mohamed Salah\u2019s subtle activity on X has stirred discussion among Liverpool fans following his muted display against Frankfurt.<\/p>\n
Salah updates X profile amid dip in form
\nThe 33-year-old has altered both his profile photo and header image on X (formerly Twitter), removing his Liverpool-themed banner and replacing his picture with one featuring his two children.<\/p>\n
On the surface, that may seem trivial \u2014 but coming alongside visible frustration in recent weeks, it has been interpreted by many as a statement.<\/p>\n
After being benched for a second straight Champions League game \u2014 a first since joining Liverpool \u2014 Salah appeared visibly irritated during the 5\u20131 victory in Germany, heading straight down the tunnel after the final whistle, according to Mail Sport\u2019s Lewis Steele.<\/p>\n
Despite registering three shots and an xG of 0.42 during his substitute appearance (via SofaScore), his decision to shoot instead of passing to Florian Wirtz for what could have been the German\u2019s first Liverpool goal highlighted his growing tension.<\/p>\n
This moment summed up a recent pattern \u2014 flashes of individualism creeping into the game of a player long known for his discipline and team-first mentality.<\/p>\n
Liverpool need Salah firing again
\nNo one doubts what Salah has given to the club \u2014 his goals, records, and consistency have defined Liverpool\u2019s modern success. Yet even the greats go through difficult patches.<\/p>\n
With three goals and three assists in twelve appearances, his output remains respectable, but the exceptionally high standards he\u2019s set make every off moment stand out.<\/p>\n
Jamie Carragher has even suggested that Salah\u2019s place as an automatic starter might no longer be certain.<\/p>\n
Now, Arne Slot faces the challenge of helping the Egyptian rediscover the right balance between confidence and teamwork as Liverpool look to build on the morale-boosting win that ended their four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
Fans inside Deutsche Bank Park made their feelings clear, chanting Salah\u2019s name throughout \u2014 a show of loyalty that may not always be reflected online.<\/p>\n
As speculation over his X profile change continues, the key question remains what happens next on the pitch. Liverpool need Salah fully focused, fully committed, and ready to deliver again \u2014 starting against Brentford this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
