Mo Salah’s Full Statements From His Stunning Outburst at Slot, Carragher and the Club
Mohamed Salah sparked major uncertainty over his future at Liverpool following a fiery post-match interview after their draw with Leeds. The Liverpool star, left on the bench for the third consecutive game by Arne Slot, watched his team squander a two-goal lead, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s late strike initially seeming to secure victory before Ao Tanaka’s injury-time goal snatched a draw.
The result highlighted Liverpool’s recent struggles under Slot, who has managed only four wins in the last 15 matches across all competitions and just two wins in the last ten Premier League games.
After the game, Salah delivered an explosive interview, claiming his relationship with Slot had collapsed and raising doubts about his future at the club, particularly with the Africa Cup of Nations approaching. He criticized the club for sidelining him despite his long-term contributions, saying it felt like he was being unfairly blamed while other players avoid similar scrutiny. Salah also referenced Harry Kane and responded to Jamie Carragher’s criticisms for not speaking out about Liverpool’s poor form.
Salah expressed disbelief and frustration at being benched repeatedly, highlighting his achievements and questioning why he is treated differently. While he affirmed his love for Liverpool and its fans, he admitted he does not know what the future holds and suggested his next appearance—potentially at Brighton—might be his last before the Africa Cup of Nations.
He emphasized that he does not see himself as the problem, but feels unsupported by the club, despite defending and supporting teammates. Salah confirmed his relationship with Slot has broken down, and while he has discussed his feelings with the manager, no resolution has been reached.
