Liverpool are in dire form at the moment and the pressure on Arne Slott only increased after Saturday night’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United.
As if Slott thought things couldn’t get any worse, Mohamed Salah’s remarkable post-match interview didn’t help.
The Egyptian has featured as a substitute in the last three games and reports suggest he will not travel to Milan when the Reds play Inter in the Champions League this week.
What Mo Salah said about Liverpool’s future
Salah was speaking to reporters after Liverpool’s disastrous draw with Leeds at the weekend, and it’s safe to say he didn’t give Slott & Co a glorified report.
“I’m very disappointed,” Salah said. “I’ve done a lot for this club, everyone knows that, but over the years, especially last season, sitting on the bench, I don’t know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That’s how I feel.”
The Liverpool great continued: “It’s clear that someone is trying to put all the blame on me. The club promised me a lot in the summer. So far I’ve been on the bench for three games, so I can’t say they’re keeping those promises.”
“I have said many times that I had a good relationship with the manager, but suddenly it stopped. I don’t know why. It seems like someone doesn’t want me at the club.
“But again, I’ll always support this club, and my kids will always support me. I love this club very much and always will. I knew I wasn’t going to start, so I called my mum yesterday and told her and my dad to go to the Brighton game (next Saturday).”
How Salah trained on Monday
Salah attended his club’s training session on Monday for the first time since last weekend’s outburst, smiling and chatting with his team-mates.
He arrived at the training ground chatting with French striker Hugo Ekitike. Salah listened to Slott’s address to the team before taking part in a series of warm-up and passing drills, mingling with Curtis Jones, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.
This session was supervised by Slott, who is currently working seriously. It will be very interesting to see whether the Liverpool board decides to side with Salah or the Dutchman.
