I totally get it because it's a respect thing as well, just because he's kind and honest and open, it doesn’t make him weak. But then I think for him going forward, I think it's the right decision because it sets a good message to his team-mates, or other players.

People can't say to him in the future, 'Oh well, you know, you're weak in that moment, you should have done this, blah, blah, blah.'"If it was not Mo Salah and a different or maybe a lesser key name, then it's easier to drop them. So I think it's a big strong message and right now I do think it's the right decision."Salah fired Liverpool to the Premier League title last season as he inspired the Reds to usurp Manchester City from the English football summit.In doing so, the 33-year-old netted 29 times and topped the charts for assists.

The Egyptian revealed that the relationship with Slot coach had been diminished.Johnson claimed that for the Liverpool icon to speak vociferously on his future, current situation at Anfield and the Reds head coach, there must have been a trail of disagreements along the way.He added: “Well, the lack of football probably comes from the breakdown with a manager, very rarely do you see players suffer in silence and then have an outburst in public because you can have a row in training, you can go and bang on the manager's door every day. Which players do."So if you're having a bust-up, that's cool, that happens, but you still gotta do your job.
