Salah Tirade Adds to Slot’s Troubles during Liverpool Slump

Arne Slot was still reeling from Liverpool’s latest stumble at Leeds when Mohamed Salah took aim at his coach and the club’s hierarchy in a post-match rant that could mark the end of his legendary career at Anfield.

The Premier League champions have problems after a run of four wins in 15 games in all competitions and now have to deal with what could be a messy divorce from one of the club’s all-time greats, AFP said.

Only two men – Ian Rush and Roger Hunt – have scored more than Salah’s 250 goals for the 20-time English champions.

The Egyptian has been key to two of those title triumphs, most notably last season when he swept the board of individual awards for a stunning campaign as Slot won the league in his debut season.

Now Salah claims his relationship with the Dutchman is broken after being left on the bench for the past three games.

“It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame,” said Salah.

Despite the 33-year-old’s lack of form playing a major role in Liverpool’s decline this season, Slot had remained loyal to Salah until the past week.

He has scored just five times in 19 appearances and been regularly criticized by pundits for his lack of work rate defensively.

Liverpool and Salah were already set for a short-term separation as he departs to represent his country at the Africa Cup of Nations after games against Inter Milan and Brighton this week.

However, the player has hinted the Brighton match could be his last at Anfield.

“I’m going to enjoy that game because I don’t know what is going to happen now,” added Salah.

“I will be at Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and go to the Africa cup. I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there.”
