Salah Criticism Sparks Debate as Liverpool Form Falters
LIVERPOOL, England – Tensions are reportedly simmering at Liverpool FC following comments made by star winger Mohamed Salah after a disappointing 3-3 draw against Leeds United. Salah, an unused substitute in the match, stated he felt “thrown under the bus,” prompting criticism from former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Murphy expressed his belief that Salah’s grievances should have been handled internally. “By doing this, he’s causing the team a problem and the manager a problem and making it all about him,” Murphy said. “You can’t do it.”
The draw against Leeds marked the fourth time in the past five Premier League games that Liverpool have dropped points, leaving them sitting eighth in the league standings. The team’s struggles coincide with speculation surrounding Salah’s future, with the Egyptian international set to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations in December and rumored interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
According to BBC Sport sources, Liverpool are open to considering offers for the 33-year-old, who signed a new two-year deal in April. Murphy believes that while Salah has the right to be frustrated, his public outburst creates unnecessary turmoil.
Despite the current friction, Murphy remains optimistic that a resolution can be found. “I do think he will [play again],” Murphy said. “I think he’ll have time to settle down. Everyone will want a legend like Salah to go on good terms.”
However, he acknowledged that a departure in the January transfer window is possible if Salah remains insistent on leaving. “Liverpool are in charge of what happens because they have got his contract. But if he’s adamant he wants to leave, maybe we’ll see something in January.” The situation is bound to be closely monitored as Liverpool navigates a challenging season and contemplates the future of one of its most iconic players.
