A storm is brewing at Anfield. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s prolific goalscorer, has publicly voiced his deep frustration and a sense of betrayal, claiming the club has broken promises and is actively seeking to blame him for perceived issues.
The outburst followed a shocking omission from the starting lineup in a recent match, leaving Salah on the bench for the full 90 minutes – a career first. He described his disappointment as “very, very” strong, questioning the motives behind a decision that feels like being “thrown under the bus.”
Salah revealed a stark contrast between assurances made during the summer and the current reality. Promises, he stated, have gone unfulfilled, leading to three games spent largely watching from the sidelines. This isn’t simply about playing time; it’s about respect and recognition.
The Egyptian international expressed bewilderment at a sudden breakdown in his relationship with the manager, a connection he previously considered strong. He now feels a deliberate effort to isolate him, suggesting “someone doesn’t want me in the club” despite his unwavering love for Liverpool.
He contrasted his treatment with that of other high-profile players, citing the media’s support for Harry Kane during a similar scoring drought. Salah believes he isn’t afforded the same protection or understanding, a double standard that deeply troubles him.
Salah’s contributions to Liverpool are undeniable, consistently ranking among the Premier League’s top goalscorers and assist providers since his arrival. He feels his record should command a level of loyalty and defense that he isn’t currently receiving.
The situation has led Salah to question his future, admitting that while anything is possible in football, he “doesn’t accept” being marginalized. He had envisioned finishing his career at Liverpool, a dream now seemingly shattered by the unfolding events.
A direct conversation with the manager has taken place, with Salah openly sharing his feelings. However, the outcome remains uncertain, leaving a cloud of doubt over one of the club’s most valuable assets and a future that once appeared secure.
He emphasized that he isn’t seeking special treatment, only the respect earned through consistent performance and dedication. The core of his frustration lies in the feeling that he must constantly fight for his place, despite consistently delivering results.
