You guys know, you've been involved in the media: he very rarely speaks, he's done interviews lately because he's obviously bringing the curtain down on an incredible Liverpool career.“But that is quite damning to the Liverpool manager and the staff in terms of where this team's at. It's strange, it's unusual.“He's going to be doing a load of media around his last game, I'm sure.

I'm really looking forward to the coming days because that's unusual for a Liverpool player, and it's unusual for Mo Salah."Before the Kop icon continued: "Crumbling is a strong word. The pressure’s on the players and the pressure’s on the manager because it hasn’t been nowhere near good enough."The performance last night was terrible, it was awful, it was difficult to watch from start to finish and it hurt me watching Liverpool last night.
