I was watching the show and the room just got hot. Jamie and Micah, they was really going at it about Mo Salah. It’s all so confusing lately. Thierry Henry, he actually got up and gave Jamie a shoulder rub right there on TV! I couldn’t stop laughing with Kate, it was just so weird to see.
All this started from what Salah said. After the Leeds game where he didn’t play, he felt like the club threw him under a bus. Him and the manager, Arne Slot, they don’t have a relationship no more. Jamie had called those words a disgrace before, so you could feel a fight coming.
Micah, he was feeling sorry for Salah. “After everything he did, not coming on in games,” he said. He would’ve put him on the pitch. Jamie got all stern and told him to stop talking. Jamie explained about the tactics, that there was only a tiny minute where putting Salah on made any sense.
“You don’t bring Salah on when you’re in front,” Jamie said, crossing his arms. “He won’t defend for the set pieces or run back.” But Micah just fired back saying it’s ridiculous a player like Salah don’t even get to play now. There temper was really up and they talked right over each other.
Thierry tried to raise his hands to calm it but nobody saw. Jamie turned, looking so frustrated with his hands in the air. That’s when Thierry walked over and put his hands on Jamie’s shoulders. “I’m just massaging him,” he said, and Kate just lost it laughing.
“Keep going, that is lovely,” Jamie replied. Then Thierry offered to massage Micah’s shoulders too and the whole mood just changed. It was funny but the problem at Liverpool is still so serious.
It showed how they see the game different. Jamie, thinking like a defender, worries about set pieces and what the manager needs. Micah, he’s an attacker who values that special talent to score. This was bigger than just Salah, really.
Salah’s whole thing is a mess now. After his comments, he wasn’t even in the squad for the next game. He just posted a picture from the gym instead. He signed a big new contract not long ago, but everything feels broken. The manager, Slot, he said he has “no clue” if the next game is Salah’s last. Then Salah goes to play for Egypt.
After the massage, they kept talking but quieter. The video of it got everywhere online, people loved Henry’s way of making peace. It shows how these TV arguments get so personal now, almost like a show itself.
Nobody knows what happens next. The massage helped in the studio, but for Liverpool and Salah, the real pressure is still there, sitting on everyone’s shoulders.
It’s funny how you see a person’s whole career in how they argues. Jamie, he was a defender, so his mind always goes to stopping goals first. Micah, he played with so much joy going forward, so he just sees a chance to win. And Thierry, he was always the cool one, the star who understood both sides. Their whole history was right there in that silly minute.
People online thought it was the funniest thing. My phone was buzzing with clips of the massage. But under all the laughs, you could tell folks was really worried. It wasn’t just about a TV show fight—it felt like watching the whole club’s problem spill out where everyone could see. The laughing was partly just relief, I think.
Now it’s like waiting for a storm to break. Salah is training alone, the manager is giving short answers, and us fans are just filling the silence with our own guesses. That studio argument, it made the whole thing feel real and close. You forget sometimes these players and pundits feel it as deep as we do. The massage was a break, but nobody’s shoulders are relaxed for long.
