Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes Mohamed Salah must "reverse away" from his recent comments about the club.
After Salah was an unused substitute during Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United, he said that he felt that he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club.
The Egyptian also added that he had no relationship with Arne Slot, and the Liverpool boss responded by leaving Salah out of the squad for their Champions League fixture against Inter, which they won courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty in the 88th minute.
Slot refused to rule out a return for the winger, though Salah will join the Egypt national team for the Africa Cup of Nations after the Reds' Premier League game against Brighton this weekend.
Reports have also emerged that teams from the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Salah if he seeks a move away from Merseyside in January.
Gerrard has urged Salah to right his wrongs, likening it to Luis Suarez's fallout with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers in 2013.
"I've seen this and I've lived it with Suarez when he fell out with Brendan face to face. I've been there and done it myself," Gerrard told TNT Sports.
"He's [Salah] obviously really upset he's not playing, which I respect.
"A couple of lines about throwing people under the bus – wrong. [You] need to reverse a little bit away from that, to deal with that with the manager.
"This needs Virgil van Dijk to go, 'How are we sorting this out for the benefit of not the club, or the team, but the fans?'
"We've all had head losses as players. We’ve all done emotional things. And I know in time when this all calms Mo will go, 'I shouldn't have said that, I maybe shouldn't have said that, I was a bit emotional, I was a bit hasty.'
"But at the end of the day, Liverpool football club needs Mo Salah, back playing well, back scoring goals, because he is the best player, the best scorer and he will help them get out of this. If this goes on this is bigger than what we all know and what we see."

Some stupid fans will condemn Gerald but what he said is absolutely correct. Liverpool has given Salah all the support a club can give an employee. He was made the highest paid Epl player, built the team around him so if he is not delivering his side of the bargain, he should take responsibility. Before we judge, in the last 5 games, how many goals has he scored? how many chances has he created? Salah needs to man up.

So Salah was playing 11 positions alone..? Salah is paid to score goals and assists, if he can't do that in a number of games, Then he should be benched, because he'll be affecting the Managers Job which is to come up with teams that win games. You want him to be playing week in week out when he is contributing nothing to the team...? Salah will go and retire but Liverpool will remain as a team with or without Salah.. He is a Liverpool legend but he will not be a Liverpool player forever.

There's no player who is immune to bench,,, for as long as every manager is being judged by the output of the team, and as long as the team is spending money on players day in n out,,, who ever is on form at a particular time gets the right to play,,,, people should back up from these things of superiority,, what is expected is winning the match,, so who is MoS,,

While he is in the best position to know what is on his mind the best thing was for him to find the right time and certainly that was not the time. I am sad for how it could end for one of the grates

Problem is that Slot and Liverpool fail to be proactive: Salah's so called declining performance coincides with the arrival of the new mega pound players. Is there no tactical tweak that could restore Mo Salah's goal contribution? Week after week Ngumoha is on the bench without even a five minute action. When the youth begins to rebel against such treatment we are ready to blame him.

Gerard is obviously speaking from experience. Let's see if Salah will listen. Van Dijk also has a role to play if a solution will arise. Otherwise, Salah may be out of the club and maybe Slot will follow not long after. 😂

Discipline is the order of the day. No matter what, you don't talk like that against your club or coach in public
Many kids of nowadays don't understand what you just said, because they're following bad examples. The values of life are getting lost gradually, because of some public figures who don't respect them. Let's hope the ones who understand these things can lead the next generation in the right direction.
