Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-Leeds interview, in which he accused Liverpool of “throwing me under the bus” and claimed someone wants him to take all the blame, has drawn fierce backlash as his form dips and his relationship with Arne Slot visibly frays. Unused in the 3-3 draw at Leeds, Salah insisted he had earned his place and was being unfairly targeted, but Chris Sutton branded the comments “embarrassing” and “disrespectful”, arguing that a player in poor form must accept being benched like anyone else.
