Our man Harry Brent is raging in his latest column
Let me get this straight. When it comes to loyalty, Liverpool fans are backing Mo Salah over Trent Alexander-Arnold? Do me a favour.
What a load of rubbish. In fact, what a load of Ibrahima Konate. The moral compass of some of that fanbase must be more skewed than a Darwin Nunez volley from six yards out.
On Saturday when he came on against Brighton, Salah was serenaded like a returning war hero by the Anfield faithful, barely a month after they hissed at Alexander-Arnold like a bunch of alley cats when he returned with Real Madrid. The hypocrisy is more painful to watch than Florian "no goals or assists in four months" Wirtz.

Trent conducted himself impeccably. No tantrums, no sulking, no demands, no cryptic social media posts.
He just kept his head down, acted like a grown-up, and walked out the door with something few Liverpool fans seem to understand: dignity.
Salah, on the other hand, has done a Prince Harry. He's cried victim, made baseless accusations, and has gone to great lengths to destabilise the very institution that made him – just to soothe his fragile ego.

The difference in their behaviour is chalk and cheese. It's caviar and Pot Noodles. It's Tyneside Alexander Isak vs Merseyside Alexander Isak.
It proves the hysteria over Trent wasn't about 'principles' or 'disrespect'. It was about rejection.
Trent committed the ultimate sin: he chose to leave the cult.

Make no mistake, if Salah does a runner in January, they'll turn on him faster than milk in the sun.
But as long as there's a sniff of him staying, they'll turn a blind eye to all the red flags.
And back him with the shameless hypocrisy of Lewis Hamilton lecturing the world on carbon emissions from the cockpit of a Formula 1 pollution machine.
