Mohamed Salah’s comments may have happened a week ago today, but all the talk is still about the Egyptian’s future.The Reds had a good start to the week after getting a big three points away to Inter Milan in the Champions League, doing so without Salah.He was left in England for that one due to his interview, and although he is back in the squad for the Brighton game, he started on the bench, but came on due to an injury to Joe Gomez in the first half.Join our newsletter for news & smart analysis.

“I didn’t expect him to be cracking jokes or cuddling the mascot, but yeah, he’s going to be upset, he wants to play, this has all come from him not playing,” he said on Gillette Soccer Saturday. There are kids there that look up to him, you don’t want to set that example.“He’s walking in there, he has the best job in the world, you don’t walk with your hands in your pockets, he’s walking like I did out of the betting shop when I’d done all my money.”Tim Sherwood wonders whether Mohamed Salah wants Liverpool to winAs good as Salah is, there is no denying that he has a bit of an ego and loves being the star man, which is one of the reasons he went so public with his outburst.Even after Liverpool took the lead in the opening minute of the game, the camera panned to him and he did not look happy, with Tim Sherwood wondering before the match whether he would even want the Reds to win.“I wouldn’t want him to come in like that.

You can’t look more miserable than he is, and in the dressing room it will be worse,” he said.“Do you think he’ll be sitting on the bench wanting the team to win? Do you think he wants Liverpool to win today?“He’s being man-marked by the press officer on the way in there, it’s a poor look, it’s a circus today, they will have one camera just panned on that man.” Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
