My belief is that he may not play for Liverpool again."The Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer went on to admit it would be 'a shame' to see Salah's time at Anfield end in such a manner, though he does believe it will impact the overall legacy he has left on English football.
It'd be a shame because of what he's achieved and what he's done at Liverpool. When you consider the greats of the game that have played for Liverpool, there are only two players that have scored more than him."He'll go down as a Premier League great whether he has played his last match or not and it'd be such a shame for him to go out like this after what he's done for Liverpool."One thing I will say though is that it won't be forgotten all of this, but I don't think it'll ruin his legacy.
You want to see him roll his sleeves up and say, 'Ok then, I'll show you'."To have the arrogance to say he doesn't have to earn his place because he has already earned his place, you need to be at your best every week to try and stay in the team."If I was one of his team-mates, I wouldn't be happy at all with what he said because this is where Liverpool need him most. If anything, he has thrown Liverpool under the bus with his words."He's been absolutely incredible for Liverpool, but this was disrespectful to his team-mates, manager and fans.
