"Mohamed Salah will have known exactly what he was doing when he gave that post-match interview after the Leeds game last weekend but you can't help but wonder if he might have chosen his words more carefully if he had known the reaction it would get. We're not talking about Salah being left out of the Liverpool squad that travelled to Milan to beat Inter 1-0 on Tuesday night."
"Inevitably, a full week's news cycle has been wrought from Salah's interview, aided along by his inevitable omission in midweek. What was going to happen next? Is he leaving? Is there any way back from here? How can we dive into Salah's past to get clues as to his character? But at its heart, this is a very simple dispute."
Mohamed Salah gave a post-match interview after the Leeds game and was subsequently omitted from the Liverpool squad that travelled to Milan for the 1-0 win over Inter. Salah believes he should be playing and feels he has been made a scapegoat for Liverpool's problems. Manager Arne Slot chose otherwise, prompting former professionals to criticise Salah's remarks as unprofessional. Fan reaction is divided on social media, but pundit commentary has been largely negative. Liverpool have struggled this season, and Salah's dramatic drop in form has intensified questions about selection, accountability, and elite-level football pressures.
