Former England goalkeeper Rob Green, told BBC Radio 5 Live: <\/p>\n
He only ever speaks when it’s going wrong for him or it’s not going swimmingly. He’s done it a few times after games and you just think maybe someone have a word in your ear. <\/p>\n
But what this does do is give Arne Slot an open goal now with whatever he wants to do. Now, with the Afcon coming up and with this outburst it’s kind of a gift for Slot to say no one is bigger than the club, out you go.<\/p>\n
Or he can bring him back into the squad, nurse him back into the team but do it under his say so. <\/p>\n
The pressure is completely off Arne Slot now, really it’s an error from Mo Salah because realistically with that draw (at Leeds) and the difficulty they are having this season, just stay quiet because the pressure grows, game by game that you don’t play. <\/p>\n
This is Slot’s to decide now. For me, Salah is an all-time great for Liverpool, for everything he’s done. You’re now saying you’re going to leave at some point. It might be now, January might come around and they say it’s best for all parties if you go now \u2013 it wouldn’t surprise me if that happened.<\/p>\n
Former Newcastle and Man City goalkeeper Shay Given, told BBC Match of the Day: <\/p>\n
I felt for Mo Salah a little bit. When someone puts a microphone in front of you, it is a frustrating time for a sub not to play, especially a player of his calibre.<\/p>\n
The surprising thing that jumped off the page for me was why hasn’t Arne Slot taken him into his office and had a sit down conversation with Mo Salah? This guy is a phenomenal player.<\/p>\n
I know Mo is probably angry and in the cold light of day shouldn’t have said some of those things, but we have been there, you don’t play, you are angry and frustrated and the team hasn’t played well. Mo Salah has said himself he feels like the scapegoat.<\/p>\n
Former Germany and Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger, on BBC Match of the Day:<\/p>\n
I think it was a little bit calculated but more his emotion. I think what he said was wrong and damage has been done.<\/p>\n
What they should do is sit down and speak to each other because it is not over yet. <\/p>\n
They all need to get together and say we can get this right. Damage has been done but I still think there is time to get it right but they have to do it quickly.<\/p>\n
BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Conor McNamara: At Elland Road it’s very close. The press conference room is right near the player tunnel and players are always going out to the team buses, it’s old school in that way. <\/p>\n
In the mixed zone where players walk through and normally they pretend to be on their phone to avoid speaking to the media, that’s what usually happens. <\/p>\n
Mo Salah came out and had things to get off his chest. It ended up being there were more journalists out there than there were in the press conference where Arne Slot was speaking at the same time. This was all happening simultaneously but that immediately became the story that everyone was talking about last night.<\/p>\n
Ex-England striker Michael Owen, posted on X: Oh Mo Salah. I can imagine how you feel. You’ve carried this team for a long time and won everything there is to win. But this is a team game and you simply can’t publicly say what you’ve said. You’re going to afcon in a week. Surely you bite your lip, enjoy representing your country and see how the land lies when you get back?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former England goalkeeper Rob Green, told BBC Radio 5 Live: He only ever speaks when it’s going wrong…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-331484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
