Mohamed Salah seems determined to distance himself from the disappointment of Liverpool’s season after posting yet another explosive statement on social media.Salah has spiralled after being left out of the team following some poor form last winter, a decision from Arne Slot which set the Egyptian’s exit from the club in motion.But while fans continue to back Salah and demand Slot’s sacking, the Liverpool head coach should be giving serious thought to dropping his outgoing superstar for his farewell match against Brentford on Sunday. What did you make of Salah’s explosive statement before his last game for the club?

And after Salah so clearly criticised him publicly once again, Slot would be well within his rights to drop him from his squad altogether.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Steven Gerrard shares his ‘understanding’ of the current situation around Arne Slot’s Liverpool futureOf course the No.

Salah may feel his popularity gives him the upper hand, but in robbing him of a final appearance, Slot could still get the last laugh.Salah’s exit can’t come soon enoughGiven the way he has gone about things since declaring his exit from the club, it is likely that Salah will soon reveal more about the fallout with Slot.Though a model professional, the legendary winger does have an incredibly petty side, and the Dutch coach is surely set to feel the full brunt of that once he’s away from the confines of the club.
