Football world slams Mo Salah after shocking rant against Liverpool and Slot

The fallout has begun.

The Egyptian did not come off the bench, and it is the third game in a row that he has not started.

In his revealing interview, he slammed manager Arne Slot for "throwing him under the bus", and suggested that next Saturday's game against Brighton could be his last for Liverpool, with AFCON approaching.

Salah said: "I'm sitting on the bench for 90 minutes for I think, I think it's the third time I'm on the bench. I think it's my first time in my career but I'm very disappointed. Very disappointed to be fair.

"I have done so much for this club. Everybody can see that during the years and especially last season. Sitting on the bench, I don't know why. I feels like a club is throwing me under the bus. That's how I feel. I think that it's very clear that someone wants me to give all the blame.

"The club promised me in the summer for a lot of promises and nothing so far.

"I'm not even in the previous three games, so I can't say that they keep the promises.

"I said that many times before I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden we don't have any relationship. I don't know why.

"It seems to me, I would say that someone doesn't want me in the club, but again, this is a club I'll always support. My kids will always support it

"I love the club so much and I always, I will always do.

"I called my mum yesterday because I knew - you guys didn't know that I'm going to start or not - but I knew. I called my mum and that day, so I told them to come to the Brighton game. It doesn't matter if I play or not, I'm going to enjoy it.

"We'll see what's going to happen. In my head I'm going to enjoy that game if I played or not, if I'm on the bench or not because I don't know what's gonna happen now. Say goodbye to the fans, we're going to the Africa Cup. Because I don't know what's going to happen when I'm there.

"It's not acceptable for me to be fair. Like, I don't know why that happen always to me. I don't get it.

"I think if I'm somewhere else, the in the club will protect this player. I don't know why I'm in this situation now, but again, it's how I see it now is that. It's like you throw Mo under the bus because he's a problem in the team now, but I don't think I'm the problem. I have done so much for this club with the respect, the respect, I want to get, and I don't have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it.

"People will say, 'oh, you're not bigger than', I'm not bigger than anyone, I'm just, I earned my position."

Football pundits, including Chris Sutton, Jim Beglin, and Guy Mowbray, have slammed Salah for his reaction to being benched.
