(@CalvesLikeShaq) December 6, 2025 You can say whatever you want about Salah this season (he hasn’t been worse than Gakpo / Isak / Wirtz etc) But he’s obviously a million times better at RW than Szoboszlai… we saw that against Sunderland — ?? This is getting weird now. — Trev Downey (@downeytrev) December 6, 2025 Arne Slot better hope for a clean sheet, because dropping Salah can only be – if it's not an authority flex – because he wants to defensively stiffen the right flank — John O'Sullivan (@NotoriousJOS) December 6, 2025 Salah benched but Gakpo keeps his place again… Gakpo is legitimately undroppable under slot isn’t he.



Madness — Marty (@Marty93pr) December 6, 2025 Cody Gakpo starting over Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak & Federico Chiesa is absolutely diabolical. — ? (@LFCApproved) December 6, 2025 “Cody Gakpo.

Slot's persistence with Gakpo and his refusal to play Chiesa give me absolutely zero sympathy and patience with him — J Lo (@jaredlouw) December 6, 2025 Cody Gakpo must know something about Arne Slot that he’s doesn’t want getting out. It’s the only explanation for how he keeps starting. — Peter Bolster (@peter_bolster) December 6, 2025 If we had Slot and Gakpo that time we played 2 games in 24 hours on different continents, Slot would have started him in both. — PM (@____PM1O) December 6, 2025 Salah being dropped is fine but Gakpo getting to start every game is diabolical — Maori_Scouser (@Dustin_LFC07) December 6, 2025 How can you drop Salah for 3 games but Gakpo plays every game like nothings happened? — baby marlu (@LfcMarlu) December 6, 2025 If an attempt at a statement, it is a bold one from Slot as he has opted to shoehorn a midfielder into a position where he has a natural fit and fresh legs.
