Outrage among Liverpool supporters as Mohamed Salah snubbed from PFA Premier League Fans’ Player of the Year nominations
Liverpool supporters are expressing their fury and disbelief as Mohamed Salah’s name is conspicuously absent from the list of nominees for the highly anticipated PFA Fans’ Player of the Year award 2023.
Despite Liverpool’s lackluster performance in the Premier League this season, Salah has been an undeniable force, consistently delivering exceptional performances. With an impressive tally of 19 league goals and 10 assists, including a remarkable hat-trick of assists in the recent 3-0 triumph over Leicester City, he boasts a total of 29 goal involvements. Surprisingly, this surpasses the contributions of Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, both of whom secured a spot on the shortlist.
The nominations for the individual accolade feature Manchester City’s dynamic duo, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, Saka’s teammate Martin Odegaard, and Tottenham’s goal-scoring maestro, Harry Kane.
The exclusion of Salah from the esteemed list has ignited a wave of outrage among Liverpool fans, who wasted no time venting their frustrations on various social media platforms.
A disgruntled Twitter user expressed, “The level of disrespect he consistently receives is astonishing. He’s undeniably the most consistent player in the Premier League, combining both goals and assists.”
Another user tweeted, “Missing a couple of penalty kicks shouldn’t disqualify him. He has outscored some of the players on that list, for crying out loud.”
One supporter added, “The perpetual lack of recognition Salah endures is utterly appalling.”
In agreement, another fan stated, “The constant undervaluation of Mo, both on and off the field, is mind-boggling. He’s continually underrated.”
A particularly incensed commenter remarked, “Absolutely outrageous that he wasn’t nominated while Rashford and Saka were… The favoritism towards English players is blatantly evident.”
With two more league matches remaining, Salah still has an opportunity to surpass the 20-goal mark for the season. Nonetheless, his remarkable consistency is unquestionable, having already achieved the commendable feat of scoring 30 goals in all competitions for the third consecutive year, serving as a beacon of hope amidst Liverpool’s overall disappointing campaign.
