Liverpool has had an exceptionally difficult few days. After wasting a 2-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Leeds on Saturday, Mohamed Salah reacted by attacking both the club and manager Arne Slot in a shocking post-match interview.
Salah’s future is now in severe doubt, with a January departure seeming increasingly likely if connections aren’t healed soon. His words sparked outrage across Merseyside after the Egyptian was left out of the starting lineup for the third time in a row.
The 33-year-old believes he has been made the scapegoat for his team’s poor performance and has intimated that certain elements at the club are aiming to push him out. He also claimed that he should not have to compete for a position on the team, calling his removal from the starting lineup “unacceptable.”

Real reasons Slot dropped Salah
Salah said that his exclusion was motivated by someone at the club trying to force him out. However, this does not appear to be the case, with club officials allegedly stunned by his comments at Elland Road.
According to The Athletic, Slot regards Salah’s absence as a straightforward tactical choice. The decision to place Dominik Szoboszlai on the right wing was intended to improve the team’s defensive strength.
