Salah may have thought he had set the bar unrealistically high on that one in an effort to avoid a conversation but he ensured he kept to his word.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah drops Liverpool exit bombshell and says next week may be final Reds gameIn 2019, just moments after he had become a Champions League winner with the Reds, he also spoke, beaming with pride as the winners' medal hung from his neck in Madrid after that 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.And 13 months ago, outside a rain-soaked St Mary's, Salah revealed to just a handful of reporters that he was "more out than in" on account of failing to reach an agreement on a new contract.So when the 33-year-old told the ECHO he would be back to speak after a quick post-match shower, having sat on the bench for the entirety of Saturday evening's 3-3 draw with Leeds United, it was crystal clear the third highest goalscorer in Anfield history had something he wanted to get off his chest.What followed for those few huddled inside the Elland Road mixed zone was genuinely extraordinary. It’s the first time in my career I think.

I am very disappointed, I have done so much for this club over years, especially last season, It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus."That’s how I feel [about] it. Now I’m on bench so I can say they haven’t kept those promises."I used to have a good relationship (with Slot).

I am just going to be at Anfield and say goodbye to the fans before the African Cup of Nations, because I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there."It’s not acceptable to me to be fair. Salah, like many of his colleagues, has had a poor season and while there is some merit in the idea that taking the best source of goals out of the team represents the unnecessary 'shock' option, Liverpool are unbeaten in the three games he has started as part of the substitutes.It's understandable after 53 consecutive Premier League games that he might feel aggrieved at having to sit out three on the spin but such are the fluctuations of form at the elite level and at a time when Slot is having to plan ahead for his forward's weeks at the Africa Cup of Nations, it cannot be argued that the head coach is cutting his nose off simply to spite his face.Salah was right in his insistence that he is not bigger than the club but the revelation that he has no relationship with Slot now feels like a volley into the court of owners Fenway Sports Group and maybe even the supporters to now pick a side.At the age of 33 and with around 18 months left on the biggest deal ever handed out at Liverpool, Salah may not like the answer he gets.
