"It was Salah's image, front and centre outside the Kop, that was in the background as we spoke to fans. Around this time last year, a banner appeared on the Kop with an image of Salah and the words: "FSG. He fires a bow, now give Mo his dough!" Come April, Salah was sitting on a throne inside Anfield to mark his new contract and just over two weeks later the club won the Premier League title."
"But eight months later, the the 33-year-old has found himself out of the starting 11 and has now pitched himself in a civil war with the club and head coach Arne Slot. "I don't have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. I am not bigger than anyone but I earned my position," Salah insisted on Saturday."
Mohamed Salah publicly complained about his role after being omitted from the starting eleven, insisting he had earned his position and did not need to fight for it daily. The 33-year-old joined Liverpool in 2016, became a club icon, signed a new contract and helped the team win the Premier League last season. He now finds himself out of the starting lineup and in a growing dispute with the club and head coach Arne Slot. Supporters at Anfield expressed disappointment, described the comments as out of order and warned the remarks risk harming his standing among the club's greats.
