Mohamed Salah said he feels 'thrown under the bus' by Liverpool after failing to come off the bench in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Leeds United.Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has given his thoughts on Mohamed Salah’s comments over his relationship with manager Arne Slot.

Manager tells player what he wants from the player.

So Slot playing Mo is a very good starting point, especially as 2 very big signings have yet to make Mo ‘yesterday's man.’“Arne Slot can help himself a little by using his natural openness to say ‘maybe I'm not Jurgen but I love my players and they couldn't have won a spectacular title last season without reacting to me and my methods a little too, but I hear Mo's comments and I can tell you all now, I love him to bits and he's ours to keep’. “Embarrassing from Mo Salah and disrespectful to his teammates and his manager,” he wrote.“Salah is no different from any other player … if a player’s form drops as Salah’s has he is the same as anyone else and has to accept being benched… but he thinks he’s too good to be benched sadly…”
