Mohamed Salah Comments on Arne Slot

After the final whistle against Leeds, one of the best Premier League players, Salah, thanked the visiting support and stormed right down the tunnel. He started speaking to the first interviewer available and vented his frustration. He added,

Opening Quote

I'm really disappointed! I have the feeling that the club threw me away. It's unacceptable to me. I don't understand why this is happening to me. I've said several times that I had good relations with the manager, and suddenly, that's no longer the case. I don't know why. I've done so much for this club. I don't need to fight every day for my place because I've earned it. I'm no longer more important than anyone else.

Closing Quote

Is Mo Salah Leaving Liverpool?

Mohamed Salah had one of his best individual campaigns in the Premier League last season. It is safe to say he single-handedly carried Liverpool to their 20th league title. With 34 goals and 23 assists in all competitions, he was simply unplayable. Slot was hailed as the reason for Salah's liberated role that allowed him to focus on the final third. Salah was also out of contract at the end of the previous season. After his incredible displays, the club offered him a new contract, making him the highest-paid player in the club's history.

However, this season has been a slog for everyone at Liverpool. It started with the tragic loss of Diogo Jota to an accident in pre-season. Salah was severely affected by the passing of one of his close mates in the squad. He also turned a year older, and his physical attributes took a hit. His dribbling and final third ability took a hit. Moreover, he was not gelling well with new signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, as Slot didn't build a clear system for everyone to play together.

When the results worsened, and Liverpool lost 9/12 games in all competitions, Slot was forced to make changes. His first call was to drop Salah against West Ham in a must-win game. The Reds won that clash comfortably as Salah wasn't needed off the bench. However, he started the Sunderland game on the bench and came on at halftime as his side drew the game. In the game against Leeds, he was benched again and didn't leave it throughout the game except for warming up. With the result not going their way, Salah was furious and did not hold back during Mohamed Salah comments on Arne Slot.

There are rumours from Saudi Arabia that Salah believes his time at Liverpool is up if the situation continues. He also thanked the fans and said he will continue supporting Liverpool. With him leaving for AFCON on December 15, and will be back in January. Mo Salah leaving Liverpool might really be a possibility if Slot does not build bridges against the Egyptian again.
