ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY The Egyptian’s Instagram statement after the Aston Villa defeat has split supporters, with some backing his demand for a return to “heavy metal” football and others questioning whether he should have made such a pointed public comment before the final game against Brentford.

Now Sami Mokbel has offered a striking assessment of what may be happening behind the scenes. Salah and Slot relationship questioned Speaking as BBC Sport’s senior football correspondent , Mokbel suggested Salah’s latest comments were not accidental. He said: “Not for the first time this season, Mohamed Salah seems to have taken a thinly veiled dig at the manager.

I think it’s pretty clear to everyone, at least from the outside, that his relationship with Arne Slot is at rock bottom. ” That is a huge claim when we are talking about one of the greatest players in Liverpool history, especially before what should be his Anfield goodbye. Salah has scored 257 goals for the club, won every major honour and delivered year after year, but this final week is now about far more than his achievements.

Mokbel added: “It just leaves an unsavoury taste in everyone’s mouth heading into the final week of the season. ” That feels like the biggest shame because Liverpool still need to finish the job and secure Champions League football. Salah timing under scrutiny Mokbel also explained why he believes Salah knew exactly what he was doing.
