The winger was such a key part of the Dutchman’s Premier League-winning side last season, but appears to have completely fallen out of favour with his manager.

“Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why. I got a lot of promises in the summer and so far I am on the bench for three games so I can’t say they keep the promise.“I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship.

I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.”Liverpool fans have largely backed the Egyptian, with the starters favoured by Slot not doing much to justify the decision.
