Gerrard: Salah's Outburst 'Damning' for Slot's Liverpool Future

Steven Gerrard has described Mohamed Salah's angry statement as 'damning' for Arne Slot's future at Liverpool. The Egyptian forward took to social media on Saturday, claiming the side needed to 'recover their identity' and calling on teammates to adapt to the club's demands.

Speaking on TNT Sports, the Liverpool legend said: 'Mo Salah doesn't really speak much, and he doesn't tweet, and he certainly doesn't tweet like that. So I think that he's sending a message to the outside that things in that Liverpool dressing room are not right: the identity's gone and it's really hurting him to see it.'

Gerrard added: 'That is quite damning to the Liverpool manager and the staff in terms of where this team's at. The pressure's on the players and the pressure's on the manager because it hasn't been nowhere near good enough. The performance last night was terrible, it was awful, it was difficult to watch from start to finish.'

Salah is set to leave on a free transfer this summer despite having one year left on his contract. His final game at Anfield is against Brentford next weekend, where Liverpool may need a win to secure Champions League qualification.
