I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame,&#8217; said the Liverpool and Egypt star. <\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>Mohamed Salah took aim at Liverpool manager Arne Slot in an astonishing rant that could spell the end of his legendary career at Anfield after claiming he has been \u201cthrown under the bus\u201d during the Premier League champions\u2019 slump in form.<\/p>\n<p>The Egyptian was left on the bench for the third consecutive game in Saturday\u2019s 3-3 draw at Leeds and was not even introduced as a substitute by Slot.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salah-s-farewell-against-brighton\">Salah\u2019s farewell against Brighton?<\/h2>\n<p>After next weekend\u2019s home match against Brighton, Salah is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and hinted that could be his final appearance in a Liverpool shirt should he be selected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very, very disappointed. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season,\u201d Salah told reporters in the mixed zone at Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I\u2019m sitting on the bench and I don\u2019t know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am in the bench for three games, so I can\u2019t say they keep the promise. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don\u2019t have any relationship. I don\u2019t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn\u2019t want me in the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis club, I always support it. My kids will always support it. I love the club so much, I will always do. I called my mum yesterday \u2014 you guys didn\u2019t know if I would start or not, but I knew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday I said to (my parents), \u2018Come to the Brighton game.\u2019 I don\u2019t know if I am going to play or not but I am going to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my head, I\u2019m going to enjoy that game because I don\u2019t know what is going to happen now. I will be at Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and go the Africa cup. I don\u2019t know what is going to happen when I am there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saudi-speculation\">Saudi speculation<\/h3>\n<p>Salah is Liverpool\u2019s third highest goalscorer of all time with 250 goals in 420 appearances, winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League since joining from Roma in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has been a shadow of his former self during Liverpool\u2019s struggles this season.<\/p>\n<p>Slot\u2019s men have won just two of their last 10 Premier League games to slip to eighth in the table.<\/p>\n<p>Salah has scored just five times in 19 appearances this season but had been a regular starter until last weekend\u2019s 2-0 win at West Ham.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old was introduced off the bench during Wednesday\u2019s 1-1 draw against Sunderland but to little effect.<\/p>\n<p>Slot defended his decision to leave Salah on the bench at Elland Road as Liverpool led for the majority of the second half before conceding a stoppage time equaliser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was more about controlling the game [at 3-2] and we didn\u2019t need a goal,\u201d said Slot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally when you need a goal, like last week against Sunderland, I brought Mo on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salah has long since attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League and the Gulf could offer his most likely escape route from Anfield during the January transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>He signed a lucrative new two-year contract in April after his starring role in guiding Liverpool to a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Salah #opens #door #Liverpool #exit #thrown #bus #rant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;That is how I am feeling.
