Mohamed Salah went \u2018straight down the tunnel\u2019 \u2018in a strop\u2019 after Liverpool\u2019s 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday and took to social media after the game in a petty indication of his frustration.<\/p>\n
Salah was left out of Slot\u2019s starting XI \u2013 dropped not \u201crotated\u201d \u2013 as the Reds stopped the rot which had seen them lose four games on the bounce<\/a><\/strong> ahead of the clash in Germany.<\/p>\n Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai scored the goals in response to Rasmus Kristensen\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool crisis still on as Isak flops again, Wirtz stat pads and greedy Salah returns<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Questions remain over Slot\u2019s side despite the victory as the Bundesliga side represented incredibly soft opposition, and the Dutch boss may well now have a sulking Salah to deal with.<\/p>\n Daily Mail reporter Lewis Steele said on X, before deleting the post: \u2018Mo Salah straight down the tunnel at FT. Loads and loads of positives to take from tonight for Liverpool but he looked in a strop.\u2019<\/p>\n Jamie Carragher hailed Slot\u2019s \u201cgreat decision\u201d to drop Salah after his dramatic slump this season.<\/p>\n He told CBS Sports: \u201cIt remains to be seen on the game, but I just think when Mo Salah isn\u2019t being \u2018the legendary Mo Salah\u2019, he gets treated like one of the other players which is right.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd you don\u2019t forget his age as well. He\u2019s 33 years of age, Liverpool will have three games in six days.<\/p>\n \u201cSo at the moment, if he\u2019s not at his absolute best, he shouldn\u2019t play six games in three days because there\u2019s other options there as well. We know Liverpool have spent a lot of money. Liverpool have got a big game as well on Saturday (against Brentford), so great decision, Arne.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365<\/strong> Salah came off the bench late on and had a couple of chances, including one effort in which he opted to shoot from a tight angle rather than squaring the ball to Florian Wirtz for a tap in.<\/p>\n And after the game he hinted at his frustration at being dropped by Slot by changing both his profile picture and cover photo on X.<\/p>\n The Egyptian swapped a picture of him holding the Premier League title aloft for a snap of him and his two kids, while his cover photo changed from a picture\u00a0of him holding lifting the Champions League trophy alongside his Reds team-mates to a plain grey background.<\/p>\n Carragher said after the United defeat that he doesn\u2019t believe Salah has the same untouchable status as Van Dijk at Liverpool.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we\u2019re at the stage now where\u00a0Mo Salah\u00a0shouldn\u2019t be a guaranteed starter every week,\u201d he told The Gary Neville Podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cI think this is a real conundrum for the manager going forward.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think Salah should be like Virgil van Dijk where it\u2019s like; \u2018first name on the team sheet\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not playing well, he\u2019s a legendary figure, and one of the greatest players to ever play in the\u00a0Premier League.\u00a0But, I don\u2019t think it should be an absolute guarantee that he starts every game, especially away from home.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m thinking about the next two games, Frankfurt and then Brentford on Saturday. At his age, with the way he\u2019s playing, I don\u2019t think he justifies playing every game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohamed Salah went \u2018straight down the tunnel\u2019 \u2018in a strop\u2019 after Liverpool\u2019s 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,163,4884,4110,179,1128,12,16,2970,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-521707","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-front-page","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-jamie-carragher","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-mohamed-salah","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-uncategorized","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115422501616029846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
