Liverpool fans are not happy after seeing Mohamed Salah's reaction to being taken off early during the Nottingham Forest match.

On Sunday afternoon, Liverpool travelled to the City Ground to face perhaps Arne Slot's greatest rival, Nottingham Forest.

With both Chelsea and Aston Villa dropping points earlier in the weekend, the match provided Liverpool with the perfect opportunity to further their chances of securing Champions League qualification.

Liverpool thought they had secured the vital win thanks to a scrappy late goal scored off of Alexis Mac Allister's back, but the goal was later disallowed for a hand ball, only for the Argentine to net the winner minutes later.

But the dramatic end isn't even what has fans on social media talking, as they have lashed out at star player Salah for how he behaved after being taken off early during the match.

Since the start of the 2025/26 season, Salah's relationship with Liverpool manager Slot has been rocky at best.

Ahead of the Egyptian's departure to represent his country at the Africa Cup of Nations, Salah lashed out at Slot after the Dutch manager dropped him for the third successive match in light of his poor performances.

Since his return from AFCON, Slot has shown more faith in Salah, naming him in the starting lineup regularly, yet the Liverpool legend is yet to perform.

And with the score in the match with Forest remaining at 0-0, Slot decided he needed to replace Salah, he wasn't pleased as he shook his head and was later seen laughing on the bench.

Reacting to Salah's behaviour, one fan asked on X: "Why is Salah laughing on the bench? Does he think he played well?"

Another agreed, adding: "Why is Mo laughing on the bench? You’ve been dreadful and it’s the correct decision to take you off. Absolutely MILES off it."

With one writing: "One cheeky c*** Salah you know, sitting there laughing like it’s a crime he’s been took off. He was f****** dreadful, the entire game."

The sentiment of Liverpool fans was echoed by club legend Jamie Carragher, who slammed Salah and teammate Cody Gakpo in his assessment of the match.

"That's one of the biggest robberies I've seen in the Premier League this season.” Carragher said on Sky Sports.

"[Substitute Rio] Ngumoha did more in 15 minutes than Salah and Gakpo did before that. He changed the game and needs to be starting games.

"There's no-one better in getting last-minute winners in the Premier League - and that is Liverpool."
